Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour and salt.
- Add oil or ghee and rub it into the flour.
- Gradually add water, kneading to form a soft, pliable dough.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the Stuffings:
Gobi Stuffing:
- Heat a pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add grated cauliflower and spices. Cook until tender and the water evaporates.
- Mix in chopped cilantro.
Paneer Stuffing:
- Heat a pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add crumbled paneer and spices. Cook for a few minutes, then mix in cilantro.
Cheese Stuffing:
- Simply grate cheese and set aside.
Aloo Stuffing:
- Heat a pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add mashed potatoes and spices. Cook for a few minutes, then mix in cilantro.
Assemble the Paratha:
- Roll out a dough ball into a thin circle.
- Using a knife, make a cut from the center to the edge of the circle.
- Spread a portion of each stuffing (gobi, paneer, cheese, and aloo) side by side along the cut, leaving space on the edges.
- Fold one part of the dough over the stuffing to form a triangle.
- Fold the triangle’s edges inward to seal the stuffing.
- Gently roll the triangular paratha into a flat circle, ensuring the stuffing stays enclosed.
Cook the Paratha:
- Heat a tava or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle.
- Cook until bubbles form, then flip and apply a little oil or ghee on both sides.
- Cook until golden brown and crispy.
