Gobi Paratha / Cauliflower Paratha

 
Gobi paratha is a stuffed paratha, having delicious stuffing of gobi which is another popular dish in North India after Aloo paratha. It can be served along with pickle and Yogurt/Curd.
 
Ingredients:

Cauliflower          - 1 Big
Finely chopped onion - 1 Large size
Red chilli powder    - 2 tsp
Amchur               - 1/4 tsp
Dhania powder        - 1 tsp
Jeera                - 1/2 tsp
Wheat flour          - 2 cup
Oil                  - 3 to 4 tbsp
Salt to taste
Water for kneading

Method:

Step 1 : Cauliflower Stuffing
1) Clean and wash cauliflower in a water. Bring sufficient amount of water and bring it to boil and add salt. Switch off the stove and immerse cauliflower in it for few mins. Drain cauliflower completely. Grate cauliflower and keep it aside.
2) Add Heat 1 tbsp of oil and saute finely chopped onion till it turns transparent. Add grated cauliflower and saute for 2 to 3 mins. Later add spices and salt into it and saute well. 

Step 2 : Dough for Paratha
1) In another bowl, take wheat flour. Make well in the center and add salt, oil and half of the water required for kneading. Mix it well. Add water slowly to make a dough and knead well. Add 1 tbsp oil and again knead into soft dough. Dough should not be tight or very soft. Allow dough to rest for atleast 15mins to 30 mins. This time, I had prepared dough very soft. Hence I was not able to roll it properly.

Step 3 : Rolling and making the paratha
 
Method 1 :
After resting dough for 30 mins then take the dough ball with the help of the fingers make a small disc, place the cauliflower stuffing in the center of the dough and seal it, flatten the stuffed ball and dip it into the dry flour on both sides, using a rolling pin, roll out the stuffed ball into a round shape. (refer : broccoli paratha for detail step)

Method 2 :
Take two medium sized dough balls and roll them with rolling pin into 4 to 5 inches diameter rounds of same size. Place gobi stuffing on the center of one of the rolled dough as shown in the pic. Place other rolled dough on the top. Press and seal the edges with the fingers. Dust some flour on it and roll into gobi paratha.
 
1) Heat the tawa on medium heat. Once the tawa is hot, transfer the rolled paratha on tawa. Cook till bubble appears on the top of the paratha. Flip it and cook on other side. Again flip it and apply oil or butter on both sides. Press gently using spatula on both sides to cook completely. If you have rolled properly, then it puff up.
 
2) Once paratha is cooked completely on both the sides, then apply butter on paratha. This step is optional.

Serve hot paratha with pickle, boondi raitha or any other sabji.

Note :
1) Dough should neither be tight nor be very soft. If the dough is tight then difficult roll paratha and if the dough is very soft then stuffing may come out from the dough while rolling.

2) Spices can be adjusted as per ones taste. Generally, I add spices as per my kids taste.
