Gobhi paratha

Gobhi Paratha is a popular Indian dish, originating from the Punjab region. It is a type of Paratha, which is a flatbread that is stuffed with various fillings. In the case of Gobhi Paratha, the filling is made from gobhi (cauliflower), hence the name.

Ingredients

The main ingredient of Gobhi Paratha is cauliflower, which is grated and then mixed with a variety of spices. These typically include turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The mixture is then stuffed into a dough made from atta (whole wheat flour).

Preparation

The preparation of Gobhi Paratha involves several steps. First, the cauliflower is grated and the spices are added. This mixture is then sautéed until it is cooked. Meanwhile, the dough is prepared by mixing atta with water and kneading it until it is smooth. The dough is then divided into small balls, which are rolled out into flat circles. The cooked cauliflower mixture is placed in the center of each circle, and the dough is folded over it to create a parcel. The paratha is then cooked on a tava (griddle) until it is golden brown on both sides.

Serving

Gobhi Paratha is typically served hot, often with a side of dahi (yogurt) or achaar (pickle). It can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and is a popular choice for a packed lunch due to its portability.

Cultural Significance

Gobhi Paratha is a staple in Punjabi cuisine, and is often made during the winter months when cauliflower is in season. It is also a popular choice for festive occasions and family gatherings.
