  • RECIPE: Cauliflower Paratha (Gobhi Paratha)

    Ingredients:
    For Dough:

    • 4 cups whole wheat flour
    • 3 cups cold water
    • 3/4 cup ghee or clarified butter

    For Filling:

    • 2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter
    • 1 tbsp ginger,finely chopped
    • 1 tsp garlic,finely chopped
    • 1/2 cup onions,finely chopped
    • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1/8 tsp hot chili peppers
    • 1 medium cauliflower florets trimmed, and coarsely chopped
    • 1 tbsp hot green peppers, finely chopped
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 8 tbsp ghee or clarified butter

    How to make Cauliflower Paratha :

    For Dough:

    • In a small bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour and 1/4 cup of the ghee.
    • With your fingertips rub the flour and fat together until they look like flakes of coarse meal.
    • Pour 1 cup of water over the mixture all at once, knead together vigorously, and gather the dough into a compact ball.
    • If the dough crumbles, add up to 2 cups more water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the particles adhere.
    • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough by folding it end to end, then pressing it down and pushing it forward several times with the heel of  your hand.
    • Repeat for 7 or 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    • Again gather it into a ball.
    • Place the dough in a bowl, drape a kitchen towel over the top, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling it.

    For Filling:

    • Meanwhile, in a heavy 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tbsp of ghee over high heat until a drop of water flicked into it splutters instantly.
    • Stir in the ginger and garlic, then the onions.
    • Lower the heat to moderate and, stirring constantly, fry the mixture for 7 or 8 minutes, until the onions are soft and golden brown.
    • Stir in the turmeric, red pepper, cauliflower, chili, cumin and salt.
    • Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook for 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly resistant to the bite.

    To make the parathas:

    • Divide the cauliflower mixture into 9 equal portions.
    • Divide the dough also into 9 portions and drape a dampened kitchen towel over them to keep the dough moist.
    • One at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll a ball of dough into a round about 5 inches in diameter.
    • Place a portion of the filling mixture in the
    • center of the round and fold the edges over it,
    • pressing them together to enclose the filling
    • securely.
    • Pat the filled paratha flat with your hands, then
    • gently roll it again to make a round about 5
    • inches in diameter.
    • As you shape and fill the parathas, set them
    • aside, covered with a dampened kitchen towel to
    • keep them from drying out.
    • Heat an ungreased 10 to 12-inch skillet with a non
    • stick finish or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet
    • or griddle until it is hot enough for a drop of
    • water flicked into it to splutter instantly.
    • Place one of the parathas in the pan and, moving
    • it about constantly with your fingers or the edge
    • of a metal spatula, cook for a minute or so.
    • With a wide spatula, turn the paratha over and
    • brush about a tsp of the ghee on the top.
    • Cook for 2 minutes, then turn it over, spread with
    • another teaspoon of ghee and cook for 1 minute.
    • Turning frequently, continue to cook until the
    • paratha is brown on both sides.
    • Serve hot with mint chutney or fresh curd.
