oil, for pan frying the parathas [I used avocado oil]
Instructions
Make the dough
In a bowl mix together atta, oil and salt. Add water little by little and mix.
Knead to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
Make the stuffing
For the stuffing, mix the grated cauliflower (grate using a grater or use a food processor) along with coriander powder, chopped green chili, ajwain seeds and chopped cilantro.
Do not add the salt and garam masala at this point. Meanwhile heat a tawa (griddle) on high-medium heat.
Make the paratha
Take one of the dough balls and using your rolling pin roll it into a circle. Apply little oil (optional) and place 2-3 tablespoons of stuffing in the center.
Sprinkle salt and garam masala powder on top.
Now take all the sides of the dough and pinch it all together.
Press the pinched dough down to seal all the gaps.
Now using your rolling pin, roll the dough again to a circle of 7-8 inch diameter.
Transfer the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa.
Cook the side for a minute or two and then flip over.
Apply oil [around 1/4 teaspoon] on the half-cooked side and flip again. Now apply oil on the other side as well.
Press with a spatula and cook the paratha till both sides have golden brown spots on them. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Gobi Paratha is now ready! Serve it with yogurt, chutney or pickle and of course a steaming cup of chai.
