I'm sharing the Gobi paratha recipe with step-by-step instructions. Do you know what I made for today's dinner? Cauliflower paratha!!! healthy and filling food.
Have I mentioned both Gobi and Cauliflower earlier? 'Gobi' is cauliflower in Hindi. Because of its short and catchy name, slowly, it is becoming the universally accepted word.
Cauliflower is next to potato, and it can gel with any recipe. It tastes like heaven in any dish, from salads to Indo-Chinese recipes, North Indian side dish recipes, tempting starters, etc.
I made Gobi Paratha with whole wheat flour, a healthy version of maida/all-purpose flour. Stuffing and rolling are tricky parts of the recipe. With little practice and patience, everyone can become an expert.

How to make Gobi paratha
For the filling
Wash, clean, and chop the florets.
Chop or grate them finely or use your food processor, to make them look minced.
Add red chili, coriander, cumin, and salt to the chopped Gobi. Combine them well. Divide them into five equal portions. Each portion should be enough to stuff each dough ball.
For the dough
Knead wheat flour/atta with half a teaspoon of salt with water. Add a little water at a time so that we may end up with rocky or water dough.
Give your fingers a little exercise by giving a massage to the dough. Leave them for about 10 minutes.
Then, divide them into five balls.
The making
Roll each dough into smaller circles using a rolling pin, dusting them with wheat flour as needed.
Keep the Gobi ball in the center.
Make small frill dough's end and bring everything together to cover the stuffing.
Using a rolling pin and dusting, gently apply pressure to the rolling pin and make a bigger circle.
Heat a thicker-bottomed pan on the stove. Once the pan heats up, gently transfer the rolled-out dough to the pan and wait for a minute.
Flip on the other side, lightly brushing both sides with oil. Flip once or twice until the Gobi Paratha is thoroughly cooked.
