Form the dough: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the tofu mixture, mixing with a spoon or your hands. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry, until a cohesive dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. The dough may have a slight green tint from the cilantro.

Portion the dough: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.

Shape the flatbreads: On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a round flatbread, about 6-7 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Cook the flatbreads: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the flatbread puffs up. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil as needed.

Prepare the green sauce: While the flatbreads are cooking, combine all green sauce ingredients (fresh cilantro, fresh mint leaves, green chilies, garlic clove, fresh ginger, lime juice, water, and salt) in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Serve: Stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate. Drizzle generously with the prepared green sauce. Serve immediately, perhaps alongside a Goan Chickpea Curry.
