Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoon Oil
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the stuffing:

  • 2 cups cauliflower grated
  • ½ medium sized onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup methi/fenugreek leaves finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • 5 garlic
  • 1 green chili finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • To taste salt
  • Ghee for frying the parathas as needed

Instructions

For making the stuffing:

  • Heat a kadai or pan and add oil. When the oil gets heated, add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
  • Add finely chopped onion and sauté till onion turns pinkish.
  • Now add finely chopped garlic and green chilies and stir till raw smell of garlic goes away.
  • Add grated cauliflower and stir. Let this get cooked for 10 minutes.
  • Now add the finely chopped methi(fenugreek) leaves and stir till the leaves get cooked.
  • Add turmeric and red chili powder and stir.
  • Finally add salt to taste, mix and switch off the gas.
  • Let this cauliflower methi stuffing cool down.

For making dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, salt and oil and mix. Mould it into a soft yet firm dough by adding water little at a time. Cover the dough with muslin cloth for 30 minutes. You can even make this dough in a food processor and then let it rest for some time.
  • Make small equal sized balls from the dough. The size should be a little bigger than the table tennis ball.
  • Roll the dough ball into a little bit of dry wheat flour and roll it into small thick flat round shape.
  • Place 2 tablespoon of the stuffing on it and close from all sides.
  • Dust it in dry whole wheat flour and roll it into bigger round shapes, just like a roti.
  • If you see any air bubbles while rolling, simply pat it gently with your fingertips.
  • Apply 1 teaspoon ghee on the frying pan and place the paratha on it.
  • After 5 minutes, apply 1 teaspoon ghee on the upper side and turn. Fry for 5 minutes on low flame.
