Gobi Paratha Recipe

Let's start with 1 cup minced cauliflower or gobi. Make it as tiny as possible. Like this.


u can even grind it in a mixer and make it look like:

Recipe for Filling:

Minced cauliflower - 1 cup
Onion - 1/4 cup, minced
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Cumin / jeera - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste




Heat oil, add the jeera and when it starts spluttering, add the minced onion and fry till golden brown. Next add the ginger garlic paste, garam masala and the chilli powder. Mix well with salt for a few seconds. Then add the cauliflower, sprinkle some water and cook covered on sim for about 10-12 mins. The cauliflower should be cooked well by now.
It should like this at the end. U can add some crumbled paneer for good measure. You can also add some chopped coriander leaves as well.

For the Dough:
 
You will need 3 cups atta/whole wheat flour, salt and about 1 cup and a little more water. Mix in the salt and add water little by little to to the atta to make a firm dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Make lime-sized balls and divide each ball into two. Once both the halves are rolled out, spread some prepared filling on one half..  and super-impose it with the other half. 

        












 Now roll it out. Some of the filling will come out and that's fine. The edges will be slightly thicker so make sure you give some extra rolling-time there.  

     













 Once you have rolled out all the parathas you can out of the prepared dough, cook them on a hot griddle or tawa until both sides are golden brown.
See how lovely the filling looks inside once they are done? I didn't add any extra oil while cooking. The filling gives out some and that was enough for me. If you want, go ahead and indulge by dabbing the cooked parathas with some butter while they are still hot.     

Dip them in some curd / raita and pickles while eating.
