Instructions

Kneading dough

Step 1

n a bowl take the whole wheat flour along with salt as required. Add 1 tablespoon ghee or oil.

Step 2

Next add 1 cup water or as required. Knead the wheat flour with water to a smooth and soft dough.

Step 3

Cover and keep aside for 20 to 30 minutes.

Making cauliflower stuffing

Step 4

Rinse the cauliflower head very well.

Step 5

Then grate cauliflower with a fine grater all the way through until you come to the stalks. Do not grate the stalks.

Step 6

Add some finely chopped green chilies and cilantro to it.

Step 7

Add red chili powder and other spices (except salt) all over evenly on the grated cauliflower.

Step 8

Uniformly mix tall with the grated cauliflower. Set aside.

Making gobi paratha

Step 9

Later take 2 small to medium sized balls from the dough. Dust them with some flour on the rolling board.

Step 10

With a rolling pin (belan), roll both the dough balls to a size of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Take small portions and add salt and mix when ready to fill. This is to avoid water/moist

Step 12

Now spread some ghee over one of the rolled disc. Top it with a few tablespoons of the grated cauliflower mix and keep about 1 inch empty space from the sides.

Step 13

Also sprinkle some wheat flour. As the grated cauliflower tend to be moist, sprinkling little wheat flour helps the parathas not to be moist and sticky when rolling with a rolling pin (belan).

Step 14

Be careful as not to under-stuff or overstuff the paratha. Cover with the other rolled dough or disc.

Step 15

Press and seal the edges very well with your fingertips.

Step 16

Dust some flour on the stuffed paratha and start rolling the gobi paratha with the help of a rolling pin (belan). Roll very gently and lightly till you get the paratha to a size of a chapati or roti, about 6 to 8 inches.
