Cauliflower-Cabbage Paratha

Posted By Vardhini On January 20, 2012 @ 5:35 am In Gallery,Indian,Kid Friendly,Main Dish | No Comments

I had been wanting to make Gobi Paratha for quite sometime now. This month seemed to be perfect because of the cauliflower event. I included purple cabbage because of it pretty color and also because my son loves it. Purple cabbage and green cabbage taste the same for me, but there is something about that purple color that attracts my son a lot.
The purple cabbage dominated the dish because of its color, but we loved the combo. You can make it with just cauliflower or just cabbage. For this paratha it is very important that you remove as much moisture as possible from the veggies. I had an awful experience the first time I made it a few years ago. The best way would be to salt the veggies and then after half an hour or so squeeze out the moisture. Off to the recipe.

Another look at the stuffed parathas.

Ingredients
3 cups wheat flour

Salt for dough and veggies
Water for dough
2 cups grated cabbage
2 cups grated cauliflower
1/2 tsp chilly powder
1/2 tsp ajwain
Oil to make the parathas

Method
Add 1/2 tsp salt to thinly sliced cabbage and keep aside. I used a mandolin to get very thin slices.

Add 1/2 tsp salt to shredded cauliflower and keep aside.

Make a dough with wheat flour, salt and water. Keep aside.

After about half an hour or so squeeze out as much water as possible from cauliflower and cabbage. I got about 1/2 cup water from cauliflower and 1/3 cup water from cabbage. Squeeze .. squeeze :)

Cauliflower all nice and dry.

Add ajwain.

Add chilly powder.

Mix and keep aside.

Similarly add ajwain and chilli powder to the dry cabbage and keep aside.

Pinch a small portion of the dough and roll into a circle.

Place a spoonful of each filling.

Bring the edges together and seal on top.

Flatten and roll again slowly.

Rolled and ready for cooking.

Heat a griddle and place the rolled paratha on it.

Flip over after a minute and drizzle a tsp of oil.

Flip over again after a minute or so and drizzle a tsp of oil. Paratha is done when both sides are cooked. Can you see the brown spots?

Inside of the paratha. Love the purple color.

Filling parathas ready. We had it with tomato pickle.
Enjoy!
