Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Mix whole wheat flour, salt, and oil in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Filling

  • Heat 1 tbsp of butter or oil in a pan. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, then add red pepper flakes and chopped onions. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in shredded purple cabbage and cook for another 5-7 minutes until slightly wilted. Season with salt and stir in grated cheese (if using). Set aside to cool.

Assemble and Cook the Paratha

  • Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a 4-inch circle. Place 2 tablespoons of the cabbage filling in the center. Bring the edges of the dough together, pinching to seal, then gently flatten into a round paratha.

Cook the Paratha

  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Place the paratha on the hot surface and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Once both sides are cooked, brush with 1 tbsp of butter or ghee and cook for a few seconds per side on high heat to get that crispy finish.

Serve

  • Serve the Purple Cabbage Stuffed Paratha hot, optionally with a side of fresh salad or raita.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Parathas

  • For extra flavor, add some finely chopped cilantro or green chilies to the filling.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage filling; it should be slightly tender-crisp.
  • If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it's the right consistency.
  • For a crispier paratha, use a heavy-bottomed skillet and cook over medium-high heat.
