Instructions

To make cauliflower stuffing:

Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan, when hot add chopped onions, and fry until translucent. Then add the grated ginger and chopped chillies and sauté for 10 seconds.
Now toss in the grated cauliflower and sauté. Add the masala powders and salt and mix everything well. Continue frying until the mixture is dry. In the end add coriander leaves and remove from the heat.
Let the mixture cool till then we can prepare the dough.

To make the Dough:

In a large bowl add the wheat flour, salt and oil and mix everything. Now slowly add water little at a time and start kneading to make a soft and smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 mins.
After 10 mins, knead the dough again and divide it into 8 large dough balls.

To make Gobi parathas:

Dust the work surface with some flour, take one dough ball and roll it out into 4 inch diameter circle with a rolling pin.
Now add one portion of stuffing in the centre (do not overstuff) and bring the sides together and again roll it into a ball.
Now press the stuffed dough gently and sprinkle some floUr and roll it out into a 7 to 8 inch circle.
Heat a pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot add the paratha and cook. Once you see small bubbles on the surface, flip the paratha over and cook.
Now apply some oil and continue cooking for until till golden brown spots appear on both sides. Remove it from the pan.
Repeat the same process with the rest of the parathas.
Serve it hot with yogurt and or pickle and some hot chai.
