aloo gobi paratha recipe – this is one more variation of making aloo paratha. there are quite a few variations of the popular punjabi aloo paratha recipe that is aloo palak paratha or aloo pyaaz ka paratha or this recipe.

both gobi and aloo are home favorites and their combo in this parathas is too good. here the stuffing is made of boiled and mashed potatoes, blanched and grated cauliflower and a few spices. they are easy to assemble for morning breakfast, if you have done the potatoes and cauliflower a night before and also have kneaded the whole wheat dough already.

then making these parathas are not that difficult, especially if you are used to making parathas. stuffing the paratha takes time to perfect and with more and more practice you can easily make good stuffed parathas.

whilst you go on stuffing and rolling the paratha on one side, you also roast the parathas on the other side. so the attention is divided and again with practice you can make these transitions easily. you can serve the aloo gobi parathas straight away or stack them up in a roti basket or casserole so that they stay warm.

as soon as i make a paratha, i keep it in the roti basket. close the basket and continue making the parathas. for frying the parathas, you can use ghee or oil. if you use sparing amount of ghee for frying the parathas, then you can spread some butter on top. but if you use a good amount of ghee, then you can skip on the butter.

serve these aloo gobi paratha with white butter or curd or mango pickle or lime pickle. always try to serve the parathas hot or warm.

i guess, these variations must have been made popular by the children who sometimes like one veggie more than others or at times, many of us like to use left over veggies in our cooking. e.g. this chana dal methi paratha is made from left over chana dal and is used make these delicious parathas.
