Gobi Paratha (Stuffed Cauliflower Flatbreads)

Gobi paratha or stuffed cauliflower flatbread is one popular flatbread dish in India. This is vegan flatbread stuffed with cauliflower rice. It's delicious and flavorful in true senses.

This is generally a winter vegetable but nowadays these are very much available in all season and thanks to the cold stores and technology. But the seasonal fresh vegetables are totally different from the stored ones.

I still remember those childhood winter days when we wait for seasonal cauliflowers. And trust me the taste and that nice aroma while cooking those seasonal vegetables is missing in these all- season-available-veggies.  I am sure you will agree with me on this. Well, that's also the magic of technology which help us eat almost all vegetables in all season.

Gobi Paratha - Cauliflower Flatbread

Do you Know? 

• Karnataka is the only state where cauliflower is harvested round the year. Rest all states harvest during cold season.
• India is second largest cauliflower harvesting country.

Since cauliflower is low in carbohydrates, this is a good vegetable for those who are following the keto diet. But since this flatbread is prepared with wheat flour and has gluten, this paratha is not recommended for the keto diet.

This is vegan. If you are gluten allergic, try to get other substitutes for the wheat flour. To make it keto-friendly and gluten-free use almond flour instead of wheat flour. In such a case, the preparation method will vary a little.

Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable and goes very well with almost all kinds of preparation.
