Veg

Whole wheat flatbread stuffed with spiced cauliflower — grated raw cauliflower mixed with ginger, green chilli, carom seeds, and red chilli, pressed into a wheat dough parcel, rolled flat, and cooked in ghee on a hot tawa. The raw cauliflower steams from within during cooking, releasing its moisture into the dough and creating a softer, moister interior than the aloo version. Eaten at breakfast with yogurt and pickles.

Prep: 20 min Cook: 25 min Total: 45 min 2-3 servings

Ingredients

	1 cup	Whole wheat flour
	1 cup	Cauliflower , grated
	1 tablespoon	Cilantro , finely chopped
	1 teaspoon	Carom Seed
	1 teaspoon	Cumin , seeds
	1 teaspoon	Red chili powder
	1 teaspoon	Garam masala
	—	Salt , to taste
	2 tablespoons	Ghee or oil
	—	Water , as needed

Instructions

1 In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and add water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead well and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2 In another bowl, mix grated cauliflower, chopped coriander leaves, carom seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.
3 Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out one ball into a small circle.
4 Place a portion of the cauliflower mixture in the center of the rolled dough.
5 Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling completely and pinch to seal.
6 Gently roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat circle, ensuring the filling does not spill out.
7 Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa.
8 Cook for about 1-2 minutes, then flip and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side.
9 Flip again and apply ghee or oil on the other side. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
10 Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
11 Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.

Tips

Ensure the cauliflower is finely grated to avoid tearing the dough while rolling.
