Cabbage Paratha is a healthy flat bread made with wheat flour, cabbage, herbs and spices. Though not a very popular paratha it tastes so good with curd and pickle. Cabbage Paratha is the go to dish when you have leftover raw or curried cabbage. Learn to make cabbage paratha with step by step pictures.
Packing dinner for hubby to office is a mind puzzling task that’s when I started trying different types of parathas as they are sure to keep well for a long period of time. As cabbage is his favorite vegetable, with no doubt he loved the parathas. I can’t even stand the slightest raw smell of the veggie, but he loves eating raw cabbage. Still I sauteed the cabbage till raw smell leaves just for my sake.

Cabbage Paratha Ingredients

Expert Tips
- Sautéing cabbage is purely optional but I recommend doing it as however finely grated it gives a raw smell when added without sautéing.
- You can add ghee to cook the parathas for kids. You can also make it stuffed and roll it like we do for aloo parathas. But I prefer this as its mess free.
- Cabbage will also leave water so be very careful in adding water, so add little by little.
- You can skip garam masala and also add a teaspoon of sambar powder.
- Folding and rolling the paratha in square shape makes the paratha very soft.
Serving and Storage
Cabbage Paratha is great to serve with curd and pickle. You can store the leftover dough for 2 days in fridge. Make parathas when you want to serve and always serve hot for best taste.

i was planning on making cabbage parathas for dinner too! but i make them a little differently – more along the lines of mooli paratha. This is easier though. I don't have to make a stuffing or anything. And thank you for the idea of rolling square parathas. My pre-school daughter will be very excited about her dinner 🙂

I keep trying all the veggies possible to create colorful parathas for my daughter's lunch box and this is one of those. I use raw, grated cabbage though.
Like the envelope shaped rotis, that's what I call them somehow.

Hi Sharmi,
My hubby loved this. Thanks. In mine cabbage was not at all visible. I guess I shredded very fine & used very less. Thanks again
