CABBAGE PARATHA

   
       I tried this paratha for first time when my kid got cabbage as ‘Vegetable of the week’ in his school. This was perfect for his lunch box and he loved it a lot and brought back empty lunch box back home! I too loved the taste very much and this is sure going to be a regular item at home,as it makes me and my kiddo consume some vegetable! There are two versions of cabbage paratha,one is this version and the other is stuffed cabbage paratha,but I love this version as this is easy and mess free job at the early morning hurry buries… Do try this yourself,if not so far and you too will agree with me..

Notes:

I have tried both grating and chopping the cabbage,both comes out very nice,if you are grating the cabbage,one thing you have to be careful is with water quantity,takes very very less water. Adding oil in the dough helps to make the parathas soft and rolling easy…You can add oil in the dough and reduce accordingly while cooking. Ginger is very nice add to this paratha,so make sure you add it. Refer side bar for the sambar powder recipe.
