Gobi Missi Roti | Cauliflower flat bread with Potato Mint Raita


 

My little one is growing up fast and her eating habits have gone from bad to worse. She refuses to eat any vegetable or meat, all that she wants to eat is plain rice with ghee or plain chapathi. It takes a lot of effort to feed her even fruits. As always I try to outsmart her by adding veggies in her food that she cant pick and throw. Recently when I was flipping the channels on TV I stopped to watch the recipe of missi roti on some healthy cooking show and it sounded quite nice. I adapted the recipe from there and made this cauliflower missi roti by combining wheat flour, gram flour and grated cauliflower. I then added small quantities of palak (Indian Spinach) , Methi (Fresh fenugreek leaves) and coriander leaves to make it more healthy. It was so delicious and polished off quickly.

Cauliflower contains a lot of vitamin C and when cooked with wheat flour and gram flour it makes a complete and healthy dish. It's an ideal dish to serve kids who are picky eaters. If you are looking for recipes with cauliflower, it's a go to recipe thats so delicious and easy to make.
