Gobi Paratha

The recipe of making gobi paratha is same as other stuffed paratha recipe. Meaning the procedure of stuffing and rolling the paratha is same for all stuffed paratha. Only difference is the making the stuffing mixture. Still I have shared detailed stepwise photos just in case you are beginner in making paratha. This stuffed punjabi gobi ke parathe I made is the spicy one. The stuffing is made from cauliflower and some dry spice powders. Addition of ginger and green chilies adds little extra flavor to it. If you do not like spicy food then reduce the chili powder or green chilies in the recipe. This is our family favorite, so I make it very often. Last time I made gobi paratha was few weeks back when my in-laws were here. They tried it for first time and also enjoyed it so much.

But I do make it in the dinner/lunch whenever I feel lazy for cooking elaborate meal (dal, chawal, roti, subzi). I serve it with raita or sometime with plain yogurt. Gobi or cauliflower is the vegetable that my family love to eat without any complains. Thus you will find many cauliflower recipes on the blog like aloo gobi, gobi shimla mirch, aloo gobi matar, gobi matar.
