GOBI PARATHA
Gobi or Cauliflower Paratha is one the popular and tasty paratha variety from the Punjab region.It is stuffed in the wheat flour dough which is rolled and shallow fried.It is mildly spicy owing to the addition of spices and tastes great with any side dish such as vegetable or dal. Some people add chopped onion along with cauliflower,but I have not added onions in this recipe.There are various restaurants and road side dhabas which sell these and are relished by all.The easiest way of using cauliflower would be to grate of very finely chop them.Many a times the stuffing would come out and would be really frustrating to make it again.Later with practice and experience I learned to stuff it correctly and grating the cauliflower was an added advantage of the proper stuffing.

Among the regular varieties I make for breakfast I also make this for packing lunch for my daughter.I also make other varieties such as Methi Paratha,Alu Paratha and Mooli Paratha. Whatever side dish is served with these parathas,the best combo would be with curd and pickle.The stuffings can be altered to suit your taste and you can some finely chopped capsicum or grated carrots too to enhance the flavour.Play with your imagination and try to make different permutations and combinations.Now see the recipe down below.
