Ingredients
Method
For Wheat Flour Dough
- In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups wheat flour and salt.
- Add water little by little and knead a soft dough. Do not add too much water in one go.
- Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Cover the dough and keep aside for 20 minutes.
For Stuffing
- Wash cauliflower florets and using a hand grater or food processor grate the cauliflower / gobi.
- Boil 2 potatoes, peel and roughly mash.
- Heat oil in a pan, add finely chopped onions and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add finely chopped green chillies and grated ginger. Saute this mixture till the onions soften.
- Add grated cauliflower and mix well. Cook the cauliflower for about 3-4 minutes on medium flame.
- Add boiled and mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Add cumin and coriander powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, amchur powder (raw mango powder) and salt to taste.
- Mix the spices in the aloo gobi mixture. Saute for 2-3 minutes so that the spices are nicely incorporated into the stuffing.
- Lastly, add finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Our stuffing for aloo gobi paratha is ready.
- We need to cool this mixture before stuffing in the paratha.
Assembling Aloo Gobi Paratha
- Take a golf ball size portion of the dough
- Make a dent to fill the stuffing.
- Fill the aloo gobi stuffing.
- Bring the edges together to seal the stuffing inside.
- Aloo Gobi Paratha is ready to roll.
- Roll it into a small disc approximately 4-5 inches.
- Apply very light pressure while rolling.
- Dust the paratha with dry wheat flour if needed to avoid sticking it to the rolling board.
- Roll the edges thinner than in the centre.
- Heat a griddle and place the paratha over it.
- Cook the paratha for 1-2 minutes till brown spot appears on the lower side. Apply a few drops of oil and flip the paratha to cook on the other side.
- Cook paratha from both sides till golden brown spots appear on the surface. Keep pressing paratha occasionally which help them get crispier.
- Our aloo gobi paratha is ready. Make the remaining parathas the same way.
- Serve these delicious aloo gobi paratha onion salad and spicy pickles.
Notes
Instead of Amchur powder (raw mango powder), you can use juice of half a lemon.
You can skip adding onions and the filling still tastes good.
You can use a 1:1 ratio of wheat flour & all-purpose flour (maida) to make the paratha crispy.
You can skip adding potatoes and make the paratha only using cauliflower too.
Instead of oil, you can use ghee or butter which enhances the flavour of this aloo gobi paratha.
