Gobi Paratha

Parathas are an all-time favourite at our home.

So I try to make different kinds of parathas every now and then.

Recently I have been making Gobi -Parathas a lot!

I dont follow any particular recipe, but whatever I feel like adding ..goes in!

So this is just a basic guideline you can alter the ingredients according to your taste.

To make 4 Gobi Parathas, You will need-

2 cups grated Cauliflower

1 green chilli, chopped

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 tsp cumin pwdr

1/4 tsp garam masala pwdr

1/4 tsp dry mango pwdr

salt to taste

2 cups of wheat flour

Water

Oil.

First of all knead the dough adding salt and water.

It should neither be too soft nor too hard.

Keep it aside for half an hour.

Take a bowl and put in the grated cauliflower, onion, cilantro and all the dry masalas.

Add salt at the end when you are about to roll out the parathas.

Mix all the ingredients well.

Divide this stuffing into 4 equal parts.

Divide the dough also into 4 parts.

Make a ball of one part and roll out a little.
Fill it with stuffing in the centre and roll out again to make a paratha.
Cook on a hot griddle putting oil or ghee on both the sides.

Serve hot with curd or pickle or sauce.

Enjoy!!

Radish parathas

Paratha is a food item that is popular in most of the Indian homes.

Delicious Stuffed Parathas make a wonderful breakfast or brunch.

But I am yet to master the art of making a perfect Paratha!

This is one of my attempts at making a Paratha.

3 cups wheat flour

1 big radish, grated

1 tsp ajwain

1 tsp ginger, grated

2 green chillies, chopped

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1/4 tsp mango powder(aamchoor)

1/4 tsp garam masala

Method-

Mix the flour,salt and oil and knead the dough using water.

Keep it aside for half an hour.

Add a little salt to the grated radish and keep aside for 10 minutes.

Then squeeze out the water nicely till it is completely dry.

(I used the squeezed out water from the radish for kneading the dough)

Then add the cilantro,chillies,ginger,mango pwdr,garammasala,ajwain,salt and mix well.

Divide the stuffing into 6-8 equal parts.

Divide the dough also into 6-8 parts.

Make a ball of one part and roll out a little.

Fill it with stuffing in the centre and roll out again to make a paratha.

Cook on a hot griddle putting oil or ghee on both the sides.

Serve hot with pickle or chutney.

I like to eat mine with curd. It tastes awesome.

Ajwain Paratha

I served the Rajma with Ajwain Parathas.
Take Wheat Flour and knead it into a dough using water. The dough should neither be too soft nor too hard.Keep it aside for sometime. Then make small balls of the dough. Roll the ball into a small flat round shape. Now apply a little ghee or butter, sprinkle a few grains of Ajwain (carom seeds) and a pinch of salt. Then fold it into half and then to a quarter (it looks like a small triangle ) Now roll it into a triangular shape. Roast it on a hot griddle brushing it with ghee or butter and serve it hot.It really tastes delicious !! Simple and Tasty and the kids love it too.
