Cauliflower Parathas Recipe - Cooking Index
1 | Cauliiflower - (grated to tiny tiny pieces) | |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Salt |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Grated ginger |
2 | Garlic - (to 3) | |
1/2 tablespoon | 7.5ml | Chilli powder - optional |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Lemon juice |
1 1/2 cups | 93g / 3.3oz | Wheatflour |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Freshly chopped coriander |
Using the plain flour, oil and a pinch of salt form a soft and elastic dough with water. Leave aside. In the cauliflower add the green chillies, corinder, lemon juice salt, sugar, ginger and mix well. In a shallow frying pan heat about tablespoon of oil and add cumin seeds once hot, when they pop add the sesame seeds and stir. Now add this 'waghar' (mixture) to the cauliflower and mix well.
Taste the cauliflower to see if you need any more salt or chillies as when you cover them with the dough you may find that they need spicing up a bit more.
Take a small peice of the dough in your hand and roll out forming a small circle. If your dough is sticky then roll out onto a lightly floured surface. Take some of the cauliflower mix and form into a ball then place in the centre of the dough circle and pull the outside edges together pinch at the top and gently flatten. Now roll out again into a larger circle you may need to sprinkle some flour on the rolling out surface. Shallow fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve hot or cold with plain yogurt or tea or pickles or just on their own!
