Stuffed Gobi (Cauliflower) Paratha

Stuffed Gobi (Cauliflower) Paratha is one of my favourites. During winter I love to have it almost in every Sunday morning. The way my mother prepares this paratha gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Every bite of it really touches my heart. The combination of masalas specially dried mango powder increases the taste of this paratha and makes this parathas awe-inspiring. If you have any problems with ghee, you can also use white oil.
