INGREDIENTS

  1. Whole Wheat Flour: All the parathas are made using whole wheat flour. A firm dough is kneaded using whole wheat flour, water, and oil. This flour is healthy and filling, giving the paratha a soft flavor.
  2. Cauliflower (Gobi): Fresh cauliflower is grated and added to make a spicy and delicious filling for the paratha.
  3. Spices: Basic Indian spices, such as red chili powder, garam masala powder, amchur powder, ajwain, roasted cumin powder, and roasted coriander seeds, are added to make the filling flavorful and delicious.
  4. Cilantro Leaves: Fresh cilantro or coriander leaves are added to bring freshness to the paratha.
  5. Ginger: You can use chopped or grated ginger in the recipe.
  6. Geeen Chili: Green chilis are added to give the filling a slight kick. Skip the chili for a kid-friendly version.

EXPERT TIPS

Want your Gobi Paratha to turn out soft, crisp, and full of flavor every time? These expert tips will help you master it like a pro!

  • Squeeze the Cauliflower Well: After grating the gobi, always squeeze extra moisture using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. This prevents soggy parathas and makes rolling easier.
  • Add Spices just before Rolling: To avoid the filling becoming watery, mix the spices into the gobi before stuffing. This keeps the mix dry and flavorful.
  • Don't Overfill: Use just enough filling to seal the paratha properly. Too much stuffing can cause it to tear while rolling or cooking.
  • Roll Gently & Evenly: Roll slowly from the center outward to keep the thickness even. If the dough sticks, use dry flour.
  • Use Hot Tawa: Make sure the tawa is properly heated before placing the paratha. A hot pan gives it those perfect golden brown spots and a crisp texture.
  • Use Ghee for Richness: Cooking with ghee adds a lovely aroma and traditional taste. You can also use oil for a lighter version.

Follow these tips and your homemade Gobi Paratha will be crisp on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and absolutely irresistible!

🧂VARIATIONS

  1. Cheese Gobi Paratha: Mix some grated mozzarella or cheddar into the cauliflower stuffing. Kids especially love this cheesy version!
  2. Paneer Gobi Paratha: Combine grated paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with the gobi filling for added protein and a softer texture.
  3. Mixed Vegetable Paratha: To make a colorful and nutritious paratha, add grated carrots, boiled peas, or spinach to the gobi.
  4. Masala Gobi Paratha: For bold, spicy flavors, add extra spices like amchur powder, ajwain (carom seeds), or kasuri methi.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Looking to adjust your recipe for gobi paratha based on what's in your kitchen? Here are some easy swaps:

  1. Cauliflower Substitute: For a green twist, substitute broccoli for cauliflower. Or try beetroot or radish for a completely different flavor profile.
  2. Spice Level: To make the cauliflower paratha kid-friendly, skip green chilies or reduce chili powder. Add black pepper or paprika for a mild spice kick.
  3. Flour Options: To make the paratha healthier, use multigrain or millet flour (like bajra or jowar).
  4. Vegan: Replace ghee with vegetable oil or vegan butter for a completely dairy-free cauliflower paratha.

    If you are cooking in IP and add raw potatoes do you continue to saute for 10 minutes before adding cauliflower or pressure cook for 10 minutes?

      If the potatoes are raw, saute potatoes with onion-tomato masala for 2-3 minutes at high. Then add cauliflower and pressure cook for 2 minutes.
