Cheesy Cauliflower Paratha

Handy envelopes of whole wheat flour rotis hold a lip-smacking mixture of cauliflower and cheese, perked up with apt ingredients like green chillies and coriander. 


The highlight of the Cheesy Cauliflower Paratha however is the addition of roasted pomegranate seeds and chaat masala to the cheesy stuffing, which gives it an awesome aroma and flavour.
Ingredients

For The Dough
1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
salt to taste

To Be Mixed Into A Cheesy Cauliflower Stuffing
1/2 cup grated processed cheese
1 cup grated cauliflower
1 tbsp roasted pomegranate seeds (anardana)
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
1 tsp chaat masala
salt to taste

Other Ingredients
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
oil for cooking
Method 
For the dough

  1. Combine the whole wheat flour and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Cover the dough with a lid and keep aside for 15 minutes.

How to proceed

  1. Divide the cheesy cauliflower stuffing into 6 equal portions and keep aside.
  2. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
  3. Roll a portion of the dough into a 175 mm. (7”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
  4. Place a portion of the cheesy cauliflower stuffing in the centre of the circle.
  5. Fold 2 opposite corners of the circle over the filling, overlapping them slightly. Now fold the remaining 2 sides of the circle to seal the stuffing well and form an envelope.
  6. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha, using a little oil, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
  7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 to make 5 more parathas.
  8. Serve immediately
