Gobi paratha is a winter comfort that is fondly enjoyed by people in North India. Freshly grated cauliflower, gently spiced and filled in soft dough, makes a classic breakfast perfect for cold mornings and hearty meals.

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup cauliflower (finely grated) 1 tsp ginger (grated) 1 green chilli (finely chopped) ½ tsp red chilli powder ½ tsp garam masala ¾ tsp salt (or to taste) 1 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped) 1 tbsp oil (for dough) As-needed water As needed, ghee or butter (for roasting)

Step 1

Knead whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt, oil, and water to make a soft, smooth dough. Keep it for the rest for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Squeeze the excess water from the grated cauliflower, then mix with ginger, green chilli, basic spices, salt, and coriander to make a flavourful stuffing.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small equal balls, flatten them slightly, place the gobi filling in the middle, and seal carefully so that there is no leakage while rolling.

Step 4

Roll gently out into a medium-thick paratha using light flour, ensuring the filling spreads evenly without tearing the dough.

Step 5

Cook on a hot, sizzling tawa, flipping from both sides until it is cooked from both sides. 

Step 6

Serve hot with some butter, curd, or pickle and enjoy it fresh.
