Gobi Besan ka Paratha

Hmmm... so for the past few weeks , it has been an array of sweets.... Fed up of them for a while I am, as some of my blog readers, 
So here comes a delicious savory and this one is my personal favourite too...:) 
This is a "zara hatke" dish from our* daily menu but I am sure the things that go into making it are all present in our sweet little kitchen...


Ingredients:
Wheat Flour    -    2 cups
Gram Flour/Besan   -   3/4 cup
Cabbage/Gobi (Finely chopped)   -  3/4 cup
Coriander seeds/Dhaniya (powdered)   -  2 tsp
Jeera (powdered)   -  2 tsp
Red Chilli powder  - 2 tsp
Ajwain (omam)      -  1 tsp
Salt                        -  to taste
Oil                         - as reqd


Method:
For Making Dough:

1. First mix wheat flour, salt and water and knead it well to make dough (similar to chapathi dough).
2. Then pour 2 tsp of oil over, so that it coats the surface of the dough, and let it rest for half an hour or so.

For Stuffing:

1. Meanwhile lets get into preparation of stuffing. Saute gram flour, powdered jeera, powdered dhaniya, ajwain in 3 tsp of oil for a while until the mixture leaves aroma and turns light golden colour.
2. Add the chopped cabbage to it.
3. Now add salt and red chilli powder as per your taste.
4. Now its done. Let it cool.

For Making Parathas:

1. Make small balls of the dough , say a small lemon size, press the ball inwards along the edges so that it forms a cup like structure. Somewhat thicker towards the middle than the edges.
2. Now fill the stuffing in it and seal the edges . This should again look like an 3-dimensional ellipse (Damn the engineer in me :| )
3. Roll it to make medium sized parathas. Just like the one in pic... yeah well raw of course at this stage :P
4. Now cook it on a tava so that both sides of the paratha is nicely and evenly cooked. Yeah now it ll look definitely like in the pic.... :) 

GaramaGaram Paratha is ready...! Who's hungry???!!!

Confessions:

• Add that extra pinch of salt and chilli to the stuffing, so that it doesn't underplay.
• Always be careful when rolling stuffed parathas. Make sure your stuffing does not peek out.
• You can actually have it without any side dish. But if you insist (or just as my father does) , serve the parathas with any pickle or raitha of your choice.
• No cabbage in the fridge... Don't worry you can always make "Besan ka paratha" ;)
