Gobi Paratha - Cauliflower Paratha

Paratha is one of my favorite bread items. Yesterday I prepared Gobi Paratha and served with Aloo masala and Putnala podi. It was awesome dinner. It usually takes little longer time to prepare compare to chapathi preparation. But it is really worth preparing it because it tastes yummy and it is very delicious. Gobi paratha also called cauliflower paratha.

All we need: A non stick pan, spatulla, a skillet, mixing bowl.

Ingredients to prepare the dough:

Atta or chapathi flour- 2 cups

Maida or All purpose flour- 1 cup

Salt- to taste

Oil- 1tbsp

Water- 1/2 cup or as rquired to prepare dough.

Ingredients to prepare stuffing:

Gobi or cauliflower- 1 small

Green chilli- 1 no

Salt- to taste

Chilli powder- 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder- 1tsp

Oil- 1tsp

Coriander leaves- 1tbsp chopped.

Onions- 1 medium

Ginger paste- 1tbsp

Kasturi methi leaves- 1tbsp (optional)

Preparaions:

1. In a mixing bowl ,add atta, maida, salt, oil and mix all dry ingredients, add water little by little and make soft dough by kneeding very well. Cover with a lid or wet napkin and rest it about 30mts on warm place.

2. Wash the gobi and grate it well or you can chop it small if you don't like mushy gobi masala.

3. Chop onions, green chilli and keep aside.

Method:

1. Heat oil in a non stick pan, add jeera, green chillies, onion and fry till onions are soft and translucent.

2. Add ginger paste, grated gobi, turmeric powder, mix well, cook about 4 to 5mts by stirring ocassionally.

3. Add salt, chilli powder, coriander powder, crushed kasturi methi leaves, mix well and check the seasoning.

4. Once masala is done, let it cool to room tempurature.

5. Now make small dough balls as well make equal sized gobi masala balls for stuffing.

6. Sprinkle some flour and make small round chapathi, place the stuffing ball at center and close all the sides and make a small dumpling and again roll into big sized thick paratha.

7. Like wise prepare all parathas meanwhile heat the skillet.

8. Place the prepared paratha on skillet and fry on both sides till it cooks well on both sides by adding oil or applying butter.

9. Prepare all the parathas and serve with curd, some gravy dishes or as it is.

The tasty Gobi paratha is ready to be served.

Note:

1. You already added some salt during the dough preparation so don't add lot of salt during stuffing preparation. Just keep this in mind.

2. Stuffing contains all masalas, so you can serve as it is or with curd and pickle.

3. Try to make paratha's without the stuffing comes out. you may not get on first time but with the time you will roll them well and get good parathas.
