Notes
- Ghee is commonly used to fry the paratha, but I prefer to use oil. Ghee is also an option, but it isn’t vegan.
- First, thoroughly rinse off 12 of the cauliflower head. Check the cauliflower for insects and worms and discard those. Rinse very well and drain the water very well.
- Before you place the rolled Paratha on the hot Tawa, make sure the Tawa is hot.
- If you are making the stuffing in advance, skip the salt. Add salt when you are preparing the paratha since the Gobi leaves the water.
- So that the parathas are crispy, you have to cook them on low heat and press them towards the Tawa with the back of a spoon.
- Roll each paratha one at a time and continue rolling from one side to another until it is a perfect size.
- You can prepare the paratha with ghee if you want. It tastes even better.
- Next, grate the cauliflower pieces with a fine grater.
- To get crispiness in parathas, press the paratha with the back of the ladle while cooking.
- Low heat will result in a dense paratha, while high heat will burn them, so cook on medium heat.
- Ghee can also be added to the dough since it makes it extra soft and adds a delicious flavor to the crispy parathas.
