Turmeric Recipes – Gobi Ke Parathe – Vegan Stuffed Cauliflower Flat Bread – Vegan Breakfast Ideas, Lunch Ideas, Dinner Recipes
Today, I really felt like eating vegan stuffed cauliflower flat bread, famously known as “Gobi Ke Parathe” in India. This recipe is one that is loved by all in India, stuffed cauliflower flat bread just tastes so yummy.
It is normally eaten as breakfast in Northern India, but seriously, who has the time to wake up that early to make Gobi Ke Parathe. These did take time to make and I would suggest you make it either for dinner or for lunch or brunch over the weekend. For us busy workers in London, there’s no time to make these at breakfast.
These stuffed cauliflower flat breads are so delicious and they are fully vegan. No milk, no eggs.
I use oil instead of ghee. If you are vegetarian rather than vegan, feel free to use ghee when cooking the flat breads on the skillet.
Most Indian cooking uses turmeric and I thought this is a great recipe to share with you if you are looking to add more turmeric powder into your diet. Turmeric powder is a superfood. You can click here to read more about the nutritional benefits of turmeric powder.

METHOD:
First make the dough.
Mix all the ingredients for the dough including the flour, salt, water and oil. Knead and make a relatively hard dough for rolling so that the bread doesn’t break easily when we are rolling it after stuffing it.
Keep aside.
Prepare the stuffing by mixing all the ingredients together. Add the salt to the cauliflower stuffing just before you start rolling out the flat breads. This will prevent the salt from releasing water within the cauliflower mix.
If you feel the stuffing is becoming wet, add a tablespoon of whole wheat flour and mix it.
Ensure that you finely grate the cauliflower and finely chop the onions. If you have any big pieces, cut these into smaller pieces. Big pieces will break through the dough when rolling out the flat bread.
Divide your dough into 9 -10 portions and roll them into small balls.
Dust the table surface with flour.
Take one ball and roll it into a small round flat bread with a diameter of about 10cm.
Scoop about 1.5 tbsps of the cauliflower stuffing and place it in the centre of the bread you just rolled out.
Using your fingers, gently close the bread around the stuffing. Take a bit of the edge, bring it in, continue along the edge bringing it in over and over again until the stuffing is fully enclosed.
Pull the entire edge you have collected between your fingers into the centre, twist and seal it.
Press this sealed pouch of dough between your palms and make it flat. This will press the sealed end shut.
Place this sealed flat bread pouch of stuffed cauliflower on your dusted surface and very gently roll it out. If you apply too much pressure, it will tear.
Slowly roll out the flat bread into a circular shape until you can’t roll any more without the stuffing tearing out of the dough’s surface. (Sometimes if the stuffing tears through the dough, I just patch it up with dough and roll over it – it doesn’t look pretty, but until we become experts, we need to improvise!)
Place a skillet on a medium flame.
When hot, place your rolled out stuffed cauliflower flat bread on it. Cook one side of the bread for about 5 minutes. Flip over and cook the other side for another 5 minutes.
Apply oil over the top surface of the flat bread and flip over and press it down into the skillet. Let it cook for another 5 minutes or until it seems browned and cooked evenly.
Apply oil over the other surface as well and flip again. Once again, press it down into the skillet and let this side cook as well until it is browned and looks ready to eat.
Remove from the skillet and continue this process with the remaining portions of dough until you have used up all the cauliflower stuffing.
Enjoy hot with greek yoghurt and pickle. If you are vegan, you can enjoy it with vegan yoghurt.
