I love paratha’s specially Gobi and Mooli (Cauliflower and Radish) paratha. I am very poor in making stuffed paratha. I admire the way my North Indian friends make it in ease.  Most of the times the stuffing would come out of the dough and I can’t roll 😛 I usually don’t prepare paratha’s often and these days we have moved to fruits or something light for dinner, I have not even prepared roti for quite sometime. For a change today made paratha for lunch 🙂 Somehow managed to get some thing like round 😛  Taste was awesome, I hate those I get in frozen pack they are very chewy, though it did not turn out in round shape taste is not compromised 🙂

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Flour : 2 cups + extra to make paratha

Salt : 1 teaspoon

Oil : 1 teaspoon

Water : as required to make dough

Butter/Ghee : for preparing paratha

For stuffing:

Cauliflower : 1 cup grated

Pepper Powder : 2 teaspoon

Red Chili Powder : 1 teaspoon

Cumin Powder : 1 teaspoon

Turmeric Powder : 1/2 teaspoon

Salt : 1/2 teaspoon

Butter : 1/4 teaspoon

Method:

• Mix wheat flour, salt and oil. When they are mixed well, add water and knead to a soft dough. Cover it and let it set for 10 to 15 mins.
• Meantime grate cauliflower, add other items mentioned in for stuffing and make small balls out of it.
• Make a small patty out of the dough,while making this make sure the edges are thinner than center,then add the stuffing cauliflower and pinch the dough to cover it.
• Use some wheat flour and roll it to form a round shaped roti.
• Heat griddle and place this paratha and cook for few mins. Add ghee/oil/butter over it and cook both the sides well.
• Serve with any gravy 🙂

I served it with Palak Tofu 🙂
