Stuffed Parathas are favourite breakfast in every Punjabi household. From the array of stuffed parathas, Gobi Paratha is our personal favourite. The freshly grated cauliflower seasoned with mild spices and tucked inside the thick layer of dough is what makes Gobi Paratha truly delectable.
For Gobi Paratha, the cauliflower is not cooked simply grated. Hence, the cooking time for Gobi Paratha is less than 30 minutes. This makes Gobi Paratha a real simple and easy to cook stuffed paratha recipe. The trick to cooking a perfectly stuffed Gobi Paratha or any other layered paratha is to fill the pastry with a right amount of filling. The excess filling would surely ooze out from the sides of the paratha while rolling it. We use two tablespoons of filling to stuff each paratha. But you can surely stick to a standard spoon measurement to fill an equal amount of stuffing in each paratha.

Mouth watering recipe! I’m missing the cauliflowers. They are really expensive and tasteless. They’ll be available in the winters.
