For the cauliflower stuffing

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the cauliflower, salt, turmeric powder and 2 tbsp of water, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring continuously.
Add the coriander, mint leaves, green chillies and pepper powder, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll 1 portion of the dough into 150 mm. (6”) diameter thin circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Place the roti on a greased hot non-stick tava (griddle) and place 1 portion of the stuffing on one half of the roti.
Fold the other half of the roti over the stuffing to make a semi-circle and press it lightly so that the stuffing doesn’t spill out.
Cook the paratha, using a little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 5 more parathas.
