Cabbage Paratha is a wonderful, mild spicy paratha variation made by cooking cabbage, stuffing it in wheat flour dough, flat rolling and pan roasting. Cabbage Paratha is the go to dish when you have leftover raw or curried cabbage. How to make cabbage paratha is featured in this recipe.
Packing dinner for hubby is a mind puzzling task thats 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 fav veggie, with no doubt he loved the parathas. I cant even stand the slightest raw smell of the veggie, but he loves eating raw cabbage. Still I sauted the cabbage till raw smell leaves just for my sake.

📖 Recipe Card
Cabbage Paratha
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cabbage grated / chopped finely
- 1.5 cups wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder optional
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- a generous pinch turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped
- oil as required
- salt as required
Instructions
- Heat a pan, add 1/2 teaspoon oil add the cabbage and saute well until it shrinks and raw smell leaves.
- Then in a bowl add wheat flour, salt, garam masala powder, chilli powder and turmeric powder, coriander leaves, and sauted cabbage mix well and add water little by little and knead to a soft dough. Leave it aside for 15-30mins.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and then make small lemon sized balls and roll them into slightly thin parathas or as shown below as square parathas.
- Heat tawa add the rolled parathas add oil, cook on both sides until golden brown spots appear.
- Serve Cabbage Paratha hot with pickles or curd.
Notes
- Sauteing cabbage is purely optional but I recommend doing it as however finely grated it gives a raw smell when added without sauting.
- 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 messfree 🙂
- 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.

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
