In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ginger paste, green chili, and cook for a minute.
Stir in grated cauliflower, and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture is dry.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, chopped cilantro, and remainig salt. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Divide the dough into equal portions, approximately 8 balls. Roll each ball between your palms to make smooth balls.
Flatten each ball slightly, then add a spoonful of the cauliflower filling in the center. Pull the edges of the dough over the filling to seal and form smooth balls again.
Gently roll each ball into a flat circle of about 6 inches using a rolling pin, ensuring they don't tear.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a paratha on the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, until bubbles start to form.
Flip the paratha, spreading a little olive oil on top. Cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat on the other side.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Serve the parathas warm with yogurt or pickles.
