Instructions
1
Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine wheat flour and salt. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Add 1–2 tsp oil and knead for 2–3 minutes. Rest for 20 minutes.
2
Prepare the filling: Grate cauliflower finely. Squeeze lightly to remove excess moisture. Mix with chopped green chillies, coriander, ginger, roasted cumin, red chilli powder, garam masala, amchur, and salt. Taste and adjust.
3
Roll & fill: Take a dough ball, roll into a small disc (3–4 inch). Place 2–3 tbsp gobhi filling in the center. Bring edges together and seal. Dust lightly with flour and roll into a 6–7 inch paratha.
4
Cook: Heat a tava on medium-high heat. Place paratha and cook until small bubbles appear. Flip, apply ghee, and cook until golden brown spots form. Flip again and repeat on the other side.
5
Serve: Enjoy hot with curd, pickle, or chutney.
