Gobhi Paratha- Indian flatbread stuffed with grated and slightly cooked cauliflower and few Indian spices
Gobhi paratha -After the most popular Aloo ka paratha,the next most popular paratha from Punjabi cuisine is Gobhi paratha which is now popular all over India .Though it is mainly served as breakfast but can be had at any time -lunch, dinner, tiffin box it can be enjoyed any time.
During winter when good quality of cauliflower is available in the market I make the most popular –Gobhi ,gajar and shalgum ka Achar which is a seasonal pickle and a must make every winter.This delicious Dhaba style gobhi aloo is the favorite of my family and cooked often on their demand.
How to Make the Stuffing For Gobhi Paratha-
There are two ways of making Stuffed Gobhi parathas-
1- Easy way– just grate cauliflower and add all the spices and mix well ,then stuff in the dough balls and make like normal stuffed parathas.
2- With cooked cauliflower masala– I prefer this way as the slightly cooked cauliflower taste better then the raw cauliflower ones but every one have their own preferences .Today I am sharing my personal favourite method but you can also make parathas with out cooking the masala ,just mix all the spices with the grated cauliflower and proceed .
This Gobhi Paratha is best served with butter, curd, Punjabi Mango pickle and Green chili pickle .
