  3. Strain of the water from the cauliflower florets (phool gobhi). Grate (kaddukas) the florets and make sure that there are no big chunks of cauliflower otherwise paratha will break while rolling.
  4. In a kadhai heat some oil, and add chopped onions (pyaz) and saute them till golden brown.
  5. Then add chopped ginger (adrak) and green chilli (hari mirch) and saute them too.
  6. Now add the grated cauliflower (phool gobhi) and mix well.

  2. Now using a t-spoon, place enough caulliflower stuffing (phool gobhi ki stuffing) at the center of each dough bowls, and fold it to form a small ball like dumplings.
  3. Roll these dumpling into flat round stuffed chapattis. 
  4. Heat a tawa and grease it with ghee or refined oil. Lay the stuffed chapattis onto it and allow it to cook. Flip to other side and let it cook too. Apply ghee or oil on the top side flip and repeat them same step. Flip, press and cook till both sides turn golden brown, on medium flame. 
  5. Serve hot with chutney, pickle or any curry.

(Tips: 1. Prepare the dough and keep aside to rest while you prepare the stuffing. This will allow the dough to rest and become soft. 2. Cook on medium flame. High flame will blacken the paratha, while it will remain uncooked and hard if cooked on low flame)
