ramyaramesh3007These vegan smashed dumpling parathas are made with a tofu-veggie filling smashed on a paratha and paired with a chili oil dipping sauce. Perfection!
These smashed dumpling parathas are inspired by the TikTok viral ‘Big Mac Tacos’, these smashed parathas are exactly what the name spells: a fusion of smashed burgers, vegan dumpling filling and versatile frozen parathas. Instead of traditional burger buns, the juicy dumpling filling is smashed and served on a paratha, topped with chopped coriander and a chili oil dipping sauce.
This is a easy weeknight recipe if you’re craving takeout, because it comes together in less than 30 minutes! I also have a similar Smashed Dumpling Tacos recipe made with a vegan pork filling!

Instructions
