Cabbage Paratha / Purple Cabbage Paratha

            Today's recipe is Cabbage Paratha, this time i used purple cabbage instead the green one. Taste doesn't differ only the color. This is so flavorful and fiber rich paratha. Freshly chopped/grated cabbage, onions and other ground spices mixed along with the whole wheat flour and kneaded to a dough to make tasty and healthy "Cabbage Parathas". Grated cabbage will be easy for rolling the parathas but i used the chopped one and also i added more cabbage so i found little tough while rolling and then tried making like Adai. that was simple and quick. I served this paratha along with coconut coriander chutney which suits well and it was a delightful dinner .Now to the recipe.
