To Be Mixed Into A Stuffing:

how to make dough for lifafa paratha

To make cauliflower paneer lifafa paratha recipe | stuffed gobi paneer lifafa paratha | cauliflower paneer lifafa | in a deep bowl, add 1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta).
Add 1 cup of plain flour (maida).

Add salt to taste.
Add approx. 1 cup of water and knead into a soft dough.
Add 1 tsp oil and knead again.
Cover with a lid and keep aside.
Divide the dough into 7 equal portions.

how to make stuffing for lifafa paratha

In a deep bowl 1 cup grated paneer (cottage cheese).
Add 1 cup grated cauliflower. Cauliflower has a mild, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor that pairs well with the savory taste of paneer (Indian cottage cheese). This creates a well-rounded and interesting flavor profile in the paratha filling.
Add ¼ cup finely chopped onions. Onions release moisture while cooking, which helps to prevent the stuffing from becoming dry and crumbly. Finely chopped onions can introduce a very slight textural variation within the stuffing.
Add 1½ tsp finely chopped green chillies. Green chillies add a touch of heat to the paratha, but in a more subtle way compared to red chilli powder.
Add 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania). Coriander leaves add a bright, fresh, and slightly citrusy flavor profile to the paratha filling.

Add salt to taste. We added 1/2 tsp salt.
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. We added 1/4 tsp kalimirch.
Add ¼ tsp garam masala. The warm spices in garam masala complement the savory taste of cauliflower and the mild flavor of paneer (Indian cottage cheese).
Add 1 tsp chaat masala.
Mix well.

Divide into 7 equal portions.
