Cabbage paratha is a delicious North Indian food prepared with sauteed cabbage and whole wheat flour. Serve this cabbage paratta with simple pickle or plain dhal or masala curd for a complete meal of the day.
This tasty paratha suits well for dinner and lunchbox packing. As we add masalas while sauteing the cabbage, there is no need for a proper side gravy and it tastes good as it is.
Ingredients2 cups wheat flour (450g approx.)
Oil to cook
1 medium-size cabbage
4 garlic pods
2 green chillies
½ tsp salt (as per taste)
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp chilli powder
Water as needed
Method
* Clean and chop cabbage.
* Also fine chop garlic and green chillies.
* In a pan heat a tbsp of oil, saute garlic and green chillies.
* Add cabbage and mix well.
* Put some salt, garam masala and chilli powder.
* Mix, sprinkle some water, cover with a lid and cook just for two minutes. Since we are going to cook the cabbage again in paratha this fast cooking is enough.
* Switch off and let the cabbage masala cool down.
* Take wheat flour in a mixing bowl, add the cabbage mix we prepared.
* Mix well to properly incorporate the masala with flour.
* Now gradually add water and start kneading.
* Make a soft dough, apply some oil and let it rest for ten minutes.
* How to make cabbage parathas:
* Make tennis ball-sized dough balls.
* Roll as thin as possible. Paratha can be slightly thick.
* Heat a roti tawa, smear with oil/ghee and place the paratha.
* Cook the bottom side in medium flame until bubbles appear.
* Brush oil on top, flip and cook the other side for few minutes until paratha gets brown spots.
* Remove from the tawa, store in a hot case or serve hot with masala curd/pickle/gravy.
* Goes good with paneer Tikka, paneer lababdar, kadai chicken.
