Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water while mixing to form a smooth, soft dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rest for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the cauliflower filling. Wash and grate the cauliflower head with a box grater or a food processor.
Finely chop the green chili and cilantro, and grate the ginger.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add the grated ginger and green chili, and sauté for a minute.
Add the grated cauliflower, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is softened and the moisture is mostly evaporated. Stir in the cilantro and turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and form balls. Roll each ball into a small 4-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
Place 2 tablespoons of the cauliflower filling onto the center of each rolled dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch together to seal.
Gently flatten the filled dough balls and roll them out again into a 7-inch circle, being careful not to spill the filling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, then flip.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of oil around the edges and over the surface. Cook for another minute or until brown spots appear on both sides and the paratha is cooked through.
Repeat the process for all parathas. Serve hot with vegan yogurt or a side of pickles.
