Cabbage Paratha



At the intersection of BMCC Road and Fergusson College Road stands Hotel Rangoli. A place that in all respects is pretty low key, tries too hard to be cool and for the most part, would not be missed if it ceased to exist. This is one of the third tier hotels in terms of places you want to be. If Vaishali is closed and Roopali is too crowded and you really want to eat, then Rangoli is a semi-decent option. It is also a great option if a young man has befriended a young woman whose entire family hangs out at Vaishali and the two lovebirds want to have a date, but not have the young man beaten to a pulp and at the same time have the illusion that they can express their love in public freely.... you get the idea. Rangoli's food, although pretty decent, tries to hard to be everything to everyone, but really doesn't do justice to any of it. I did spend a decent amount of time there in the days when Vaishali was undergoing reconstruction and the parathas there weren't bad. However, it failed to convert any real customers, myself included, during that period. I do fondly remember the parathas at Rangoli as that was the only thing that Vaishali didn't serve. And they were'nt bad. Of course, I haven't been there since Vaishali reopened in 1996 and that doesn't say a lot about Rangoli.

Rangoli did have a few decent items on their menu. But i don't ever remember tasting their cabbage parathas.
We did however have loads of entertainment with one of their managers...he was so hilarious!

They had a few parathas. Gobi, paneer and aloo. Cabbage wasn't one of them.

Hello, I tried these yesterday but the cabbage started oozing out of the paratha dough. The paratha tasted very nice nice but visually were not too appealing and quite honestly made a mess.. Please advise if I need to do anything to have the cabbage "packaged" neatly in the paratha.
Regards
Shivangi

Hi Shivangi,
The cabbage has to be shredded extra fine and cook it for a while so you let enough of the moisture out. As you're cooking also remember to flatten any stem lumps using a masher so in the end when it is cooked you're left with something that is the consistency of stir-fried palak. This way when you're rolling it out, the cabbage will spread evenly and not break through the dough.
Instead of making a cup of the dough and filling it..take 2 small dough ball and flatten them using rolling pin. Flatten them to a size of pooris. Spread the filling on one of the flattened dough. Place the 2nd on top of the filling...Kinda like a sandwich. And now flatten the entire thing. This helps in adding more filling to the paratha and is less messy specially when you make Cabbage or Raddish parathas. This is a typical Punjabi way of making it.
