Spinach and Tofu Stuffed Potato Rolls
These Spinach and Tofu Stuffed potato rolls have been our lunch today and we still have leftover! I hope you find it interesting, healthy and creative. I used Indian spices to appeal to my hubby's palate as well.
For the filling
- 1 pound frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground coriander seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon mild paprica
- 1 pound firm tofu, cubed
For the potato dough
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 8 spoons corn starch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
also
- Baking pan and oil for greasing it.
Method
Separately cook the spinach with little water and squeeze all the excess moisture.
Heat the oil in a pan and slightly fry the cumin, coriander, black pepper and paprica.
Add the cubed tofu and stir fry for a couple of minutes till all flavours are incorporated.
Add the cooked spinach and stir fry for an extra one minute. Set aside to cool.
Cook the potatoes. Let cool. Peel and mash using a potato masher
Add the starch, spices, salt and knead to form a uniform mass.
Divide the dough into 8 parts.
Sprinkle the working surface with bread crumbs and flatten the dough to form a rectangular shape about 1/4" thickness.
Place some stuffing along the center of the rectangle.
Fold the lateral sides and roll the dough to form a roulade. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough.
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Grease a baking pan/ dish with oil and carefully place all the rolls on the bottom. Bake for about 20-25 min, till the crust is crisp and golden in color.
Enjoy them with yogurt or your choice of gravy.
Important: Do not let the dough sit for too long before making the rolls or it will get soft and unmanageable.
