Gobi / Cauliflower Paratha




Gobi / Cauliflower can easily be described as a Super food because of its beneficial effects on numerous aspects of health.

1.    Cauliflower contains sulforaphane, a sulfur compound that has also been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth.

2.    Cauliflower is an important source of dietary fiber for digestive healt.

3.     Boost Heart Health.

4.     It’s Rich in Vitamins and Minerals.

5.     Boost Your Brain Health.

6.    Cauliflower contains zinc, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium and also selenium and sodium

Cauliflower is my favorite vegetable. I make Parathas, pickles n different varieties of dishes.

Gobi Paratha is traditional Punjabi breakfast food along with aloo paratha and pyaaz ka paratha.

I love to serve hot and crispy Gobi Paraths any time of the day.
These parathas do not need any prior preparations.  It’s very easy to make.
