Paratha is a favorite go-to dish for most of us Indians as a healthy breakfast, snack, or tiffin. It is a very versatile dish and can be made using practically any vegetable as a stuffing. I give Devansh paratha as an evening snack with chutney or dahi. While I like to have paratha for dinner. Sometimes I give paratha to Devansh too for dinner accompanied by daal. The gobi paratha recipe I am sharing in this post is my cook, Jyoti’s recipe.
When Jyoti started working for me, I had told her some gobie paratha recipe which I had seen on the Internet. I have forgotten that original recipe but Jyoti has modified it as per her judgement, and she makes cabbage and cauliflower paratha using the same recipe. Although, the recipe for cabbage and cauliflower paratha is the same, Jyoti tends to make cauliflower paratha better. These paratha turn out softer. Jyoti says it is easier to roll out cauliflower paratha and that for cabbage paratha the stuffing tends to come out. Me and my family like these gobi paratha. I hope your find Jyoti’s recipe of gobi paratha useful.
