Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 cups (grated) Cabbage
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 0.5 cup (as needed) Water
• 2 tablespoons (for cooking) Ghee or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix grated cabbage with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the grated cabbage and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, garam masala, green chilies, and cilantro to the cabbage mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 6

Take one dough ball, flatten it with your fingers, and roll it out into a small circle. Place 2 tablespoons of the cabbage filling in the center.

Step 7

Bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside, forming a pouch. Flatten gently, then roll it out again into a 6-7 inch circle while being careful not to tear the dough.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear.

Step 9

Flip the paratha, drizzle with 0.5 teaspoon of ghee or butter, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Flip again, apply ghee to the other side, and cook until golden brown and well-cooked.

Step 10

Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.

Step 11

Serve the cabbage parathas hot with yogurt, pickle, or your favorite chutney.
