Ingredients

For dough:
2 ½ cup of wheat flour (Atta)
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoon of oil
Water
For stuffing:
3 cup of cabbage , finely chopped
½ teaspoon of ginger paste
½ teaspoon of cumin (Jeera)
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of turmeric
¼ teaspoon of ajwain
½ teaspoon of dry mango powder (Optional)
¼ teaspoon of garam masala
2 teaspoon of oil
2 tablespoon of coriander , finely chopped

Procedure

To prepare the stuffing, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan on medium heat. Allow the oil to become hot before adding the ingredients.
Add ¼ teaspoon of ajwain (carom seeds) to the hot oil. The ajwain seeds will release their aromatic flavors, adding a subtle earthy and peppery taste to the dish.
Add finely shredded cabbage into the pan. Sauté the cabbage for approximately 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add ½ tablespoon of ginger paste, ¼ teaspoon of turmeric (haldi), 1/2 teaspoon of cumin (jeera) powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of Amchur (dried mango powder), and salt according to your taste preferences.
Stir-fry the mixture until the cabbage is cooked well and the spices have blended evenly. This ensures that the stuffing has a balanced consistency and taste.
Now, let's prepare the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients required for the dough, including flour, salt, and water. Knead the ingredients together until they form a smooth and elastic dough.
Grease the dough with a tablespoon of water to keep it moist and pliable.
Take a ball-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a circle using a rolling pin.
Place the prepared stuffing in the center of the rolled dough circle.
Pleat the edges of the dough circle and bring them together at the top, sealing the stuffing inside. Secure the edges tightly to prevent any leakage while cooking.
Sprinkle some flour on the dough and roll it again using a rolling pin. This process helps to flatten and spread the dough evenly.
Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and let it cook for a short while until the base is partially cooked. You will notice small bubbles forming on the surface.
Flip the paratha gently using a spatula when the base is partially cooked. This helps to ensure that both sides of the paratha are evenly cooked.
Brush a little ghee or oil on both sides of the paratha while flipping. Continue flipping the paratha a few more times until both sides are cooked thoroughly. The paratha should turn golden brown.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough and stuffing to make more parathas.
