Gobi Paratha's

Paratha's are a stuffed Indian flat bread. There are many different kinds of paratha's; aloo (potato), gobi (cauliflower), paneer, and so many more. These paratha's are easy to make and very yummy.

Raj told me that his mom made these for him for lunch for many years when he was in school. He's quite fond of paratha's and gets super excited when I make them! If I'm not feeling like cooking a big meal these are my go to. They are easy, filling, and barely any clean-up afterwards!

Today I'm going to show you how I make my gobi paratha's! Lets get started!

Ingredients:

• Roti dough (Recipe)
• About 1 c. cauliflower, finely grated
• 1-2 tsp cumin powder
• 1-2 tsp red chili powder
• 1-2 tsp coriander powder
• salt to taste
• butter

Directions:

1. First you want to finely grate your cauliflower. I just use my magic bullet blender to grate it up. Just make sure that if you had just washed your cauliflower that it is completely dry. You do not want any excess moisture or it will tear up your paratha's

2. Put your grated cauliflower into a bowl and add your spices to taste. If you want it spicier, add more chili powder. If you like more cumin, add it. It's up to you!

3. Roll out your dough like you're making a roti. Now take a spoon full of the cauliflower mixture and place it on the center of the dough.

4. This is the tricky part. Grab one side of the dough and gently lift it up, then grab the dough next to it and work your way around bunching it together. *Explaining it might be hard, but please look up YouTube tutorials if needed to supplement my explanation of how to make the paratha!

5. Once you have it all bunched together, push the top of it to smoosh it down.

6. Gently start to roll this back out into a flat disk. You want to take your time so that the filling doesn't break the dough or start coming out the sides. Sometimes mine will start showing through the top, but that's okay!

7. Now you're ready to fry it! In a hot tawa or skillet, take a stick of butter and just rub it directly on the pan in two circles (you just want a little butter on the pan). Immediately add your paratha and rub your stick of butter over the top part.

8. Let this cook until it starts getting brown spots on the bottom and then flip. Once the other side also gets brown spots, its all finished!

And there you have it, yummy gobi paratha's. These can be eaten with butter or yogurt (with added cumin and salt). 

Hope you enjoy!
