For the Stuffing

1. Separate cauliflower florets and place them in boiling hot water; let them blanch for few minutes. Strain to drain all water.

For making Paranthas

1. After 20 minutes knead the dough for 1 more time.
2. For easy and equal stuffing, you can divide the stuffing and dough in 6 or 8 equal part depending upon the size of paranthas you want to make.

4. Now on a dusted floor roll 1 ball of dough into 4-5 inch in diameter. Place one portion of stuffing in the center. 
5. Gather all edges from the side and pinch in center to seal it properly. Pat, it with hand to make flat round shape patty.

Quick Tips

1. Stuffing: Very important to know that the stuffing should be moisture less. Moisture ruins rolling of paranthas.
2. Rolling: Roll the stuff dough applying low pressure. Otherwise stuffing will ooze out.
3. Kids Friendly: Adjust the spice level while adding green chili, chili powder and garam masala to make kids friendly.
