Gopi Paratha / Cauliflower paratha

Gopi Paratha is a soft, whole wheat flatbread popular in Indian cuisine, known for its light, fluffy texture and subtle nutty flavor. Made from finely milled wheat flour, water, and a touch of oil or ghee, Gopi paratha are typically cooked on a hot griddle until golden brown and slightly puffed. They pair beautifully with a wide variety of dishes, from rich curries like paneer butter masala and chicken tikka to simple accompaniments like lentil dal or sautéed vegetables. For a lighter meal, they can be served with yogurt, pickles, or a drizzle of honey. Gopi Chapatis are also excellent for wraps, making them a versatile option for both traditional and fusion meals. Serve warm with a pat of butter or ghee on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
