GOBI PARATHA

Gobi paratha recipe-There are so many ways to make this gobi paratha ....Different people do in different ways...Even you all people know how to make this, still as a beginner, I made it this way.
DSC_0710            My brothers favorite dish...he requested to post this last week itself..but since I haven't tried this before,so I first asked my north Indian friend,Sangeeta and did it today...So here you go my dear brother...:))

Ingredients

For dough
  • Wheat flour   - 1 cup
  • Maida           - 1/2 cup (optional)
  • Salt             - as needed
  • Oil               - 3 tsp
For stuffing
  • Cauliflower   -  1 big
  • Coriander leaves(chopped)  - 1/2 cup (can add less also)
  • Ginger(finely chopped)  -  3/4 tsp
  • Green chilly (chopped)  - 1(optional)    
  • Turmeric powder          - 1/4 tsp

METHOD

  • For dough : Mix wheat flour and maida with salt and oil,well.
  • Then prepare a soft dough by adding warm water to the flour(it should not be stiff but soft...) and keep aside.
  • Usually I prepare and keep the dough atleast for  half an hour.
For stuffing:
  • Grate the flower part of the cauliflower using a grater,as shown in the picture.

  • Then add the grated  cauliflower,fry for a minute and add turmeric(not shown in pic),red chilie and garam masala powders,coriander leaves and sprinkle salt (little only will be needed).
  • Fry in high flame for 5-6 minutes,with constant stirring.

  • Transfer to a bowl after done and cool down.
