Gobi Paratha's


Hmm...  ain't it kinda unfair that roti's and parathas do not get limelight?  Tonight I made Gobi parathas...Let me tell you how I made them .

What you need to do half an hour earlier :

Keep aside:

Cauliflower - 1 medium sized
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder - 3/4 tsp ( adjust according to taste)
Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Also knead the atta and keep it covered with a wet cloth. The longer it stands, the better the roti's come out :)

What you do with it :

Take the cauliflower and grate it all up.
Take a kadai and heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in it and throw in some cumin. When it is starts spluttering, add the grated gobi, haldi, chilli powder, garam masala and salt to taste - all together.
Saute all this for about three to four minutes until the water given out by the gobi has all evaporated.
Take off the gas and allow to cool till room temperature.

Just half an hour before you want to eat dinner :

Roll out the Chapathi like you normally do, just a little smaller.
Put in about 2 tablespoons of the gobi masala in the middle of the chapathi.
Fold the chapathi in from all four sides like a square.
Dust this in some atta and roll out into paratha's taking care not to let the filling spill outside.
Cook on a tava as you normally make paratha's.

Enjoy with Pudina chutney /curd with chilli powder/ pickle :)

P.s: You can apply a little ghee on the paratha just before serving ;)
