Cooking Gobi Paratha:
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- Take one dough ball and flatten it.
- Place a generous spoonful of the cauliflower filling in the center of the flatten dough.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside.
- Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball with your hands.
- Heat a flat pan (tava) over medium-high flame.
- Place the the paratha on the tava and cook for about 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming.
- Flip the paratha and apply ghee or oil on the surface.
- Cook the other side until it turns golden brown, applying more ghee or oil if needed.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
- Serve hot Gobi Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or your favorite chutney.
- Enjoy your homemade Gobi Parathas, a delightful and nutritious addition to your meal!
Cauliflower filling should be dry to prevent the parathas from becoming soggy. You can also add grated cheese to the filling for a cheesy twist on this gobi paratha recipe.
