Cauliflower Aloo Stuffed Paratha is an easy stuffed Indian Flatbread that is an ideal dish to pack for your Kids Lunch Box.
Konda likes to carry parathas for her lunch box and I decided to stuff the parathas with grated Cauliflower and Aloo with spicy masala so that I could simply pack curds and pickle for the side.
I have previously made different stuffing masala with cauliflower for stuffed paratha, this Gobi Paratha is one of my favorites, though I also make stuffed cauliflower paratha.
Other stuffed parathas you can enjoy are these Stuffed Aloo Palak Paratha, Aloo Stuffed Ajwain Paratha, Mooli Ke Paratha.

I have used these veggies separately but never combined them for stuffing. The parathas look awesome with the spicy stuffing.

Parathas look so soft and inviting. I love stuffed parathas and it's great way to make kids eat vegetables

Wow! That is a good idea to combine aloo and gobi in a paratha. Makes a great lunch box idea, Valli.

Adding potatoes to cauliflower would be great , a cooked masala sounds so delicious , and I like the way it’s peaking out of the dough which shows how well stuffed it is .
