Gobi Parantha/ How to make Gobi Ke Paranthe

Share this recipe with your friends

Gobi Parantha is one of the most popular paranthas in North India. Gobi Parantha is prepared in the same way as other stuffed paranthas. The process and procedure is similar for all types of paranthas, only the main ingredients for the stuffing changes. Gobi Parantha stuffing is prepared from grated gobi, chopped onion and few spices. The quantity of the spices should be used as per one’s liking. If you love to have spicy stuffing, you can add more spices. The stuffing for Gobi Paranthas can be prepared in two ways. Either simply mix all the ingredients along with the spices and fill it to make paranthas or by cooking all the ingredients in oil before filling. In the first process the grated gobi is raw which gives a crunchy taste while in the other it is cooked. The taste of both the types of stuffing is different, so the taste of paranthas is also different. Here I have prepared the Gobi Paranthas using the cooked Gobi stuffing. The gobi should be grated very fine so that the paranthas do not break.

The ingredients used to make the stuffing can vary as per one’s taste and preferences. Mashed Potatoes can be mixed with grated gobi to prepare the stuffing. Even the stuffing without potato can go very well. Here I have not used mashed potatoes. Gobi Parantha is shallow fried with oil or ghee and then served with white butter or makhan over the paranthas.

Stuffing for Gobi Parantha

  • Take the Gobi and take out the leaves from the stem of the flower.
  • Cut the flower into parts. Wash it and grate them. While grating we must see that there are no big chunks of cauliflower. Keep it aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Add Cumin Seeds and let it crackle.
  • Add Chopped Chilli and Chopped Onion. Fry it till the onion becomes light golden brown.
  • Then add Ginger Garlic Paste. Saute it for a minute.
  • Now add Grated Cauliflower (Gobi) and Salt. Mix it properly with the cooked onion.
  • Cook the grated gobi for 7-8 minutes till it becomes little dry. Keep on stirring in between so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • After the grated gobi is cooked for 7-8 minutes, add Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder, Aamchur Powder, Garam Masala and Chopped Coriander Leaves
  • Mix all the ingredients properly. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally in between.
  • Switch off the flame and allow it to cool down. Gobi stuffing is ready.

Stuffing and Rolling Gobi Paranthas (Method 1):

  • Make medium sized ball by taking small amount of Atta dough.
  • Put it in the Roti making board and roll it to make small round shaped Roti.
  • Take the roti in your palm and put required amount of Gobi stuffing over it.
  • Pull out the outer edge of the dough to wrap it around the gobi stuffing. Press the wrapped part to flatten it.
  • Repeat the above steps to make balls and fill the stuffing for all the remaining Atta dough. Keep it aside.
  • Now take one stuffed ball, dust it with Wheat Flour (Atta) and roll it smoothly to make a circle shaped parantha. Do this for all the stuffed atta balls.

Stuffing and Rolling Gobi Paranthas (Method 2):

  • Make two equal small sized balls using the Atta dough.
  • Roll them to make medium sized circle shaped roti. Both the roti should be of equal size.
  • Take one of the roti and place it over the roti making board.
  • Put the gobi stuffing all over it. The stuffing should be placed uniformly all over the roti. Some space should be left at the edges of the roti.
  • Take the other roti and place it over the first roti.
  • Press the edges of both the roti’s with the fingertips so that the gobi stuffing gets sealed.
  • Dust the prepared roti and roll it to make a larger circle shaped roti.
  • Follow the above process for the remaining Atta dough to make the Gobi Parantha.

Notes:

  1. The dough should be knead and kept aside for 15 minutes before preparing Parantha. It makes the parantha soft and taste good.
  2. Turmeric Powder is optional. It is used to bring a yellowish colour and taste to the paranthas.
  3. There are a number of ingredients used. If you want you can skip some of them. You can also add boiled potatoes with grated cauliflower to bring a different taste.
  4. Kneading the dough with oil or ghee will make the paranthas soft.
  5. Lime Juice can be used instead of Aamchur Powder. It is used to bring sourness in the Paranthas.
  6. The stuffing used in the above process can also be made without cooking in oil.
  7. Gobi can be boiled for few minutes before grating. It is optional. For a crunchy taste do not boil.
  8. Gobi should be grated in such a way that there are no big chunks of cauliflower, or else while rolling the paranthas may break.
