Gobi Paratha

Being in North-India since last 5 years I tried to adopt many good component of the North-Indian Cuisine which includes making stuffed Parathas…In North India, Parathas are prepared with Whole Wheat Flour and stuffed with veggies… These Whole Wheat Stuffed Parathas are much healthier than the Typical Bong style Triangular Paratha prepared with All Purpose Flour or Maida  and moreover stuffed Parathas are wholesome option that the plain Paratha… I opted for different types of Stuffed Parathas that include Gobi Paratha, Onion Paratha, Paneer Paratha etc however, Gobi version is my little one’s favourite..

Gobi Paratha or Cauliflower Paratha requires no special introduction I guess.. A famous Paratha from the State of Punjab and one of the popular dishes from North-Indian Cuisine…. In North India people mostly have Gobi Paratha in Breakfast along with Lassi or Chaash.. However, I like a typical Bong love to serve Paratha in Dinner instead of Breakfast….
