By now regular readers would be aware of my love for parathas. Trust me - the variations abound still and many more will find their way into this site soon. That's the versatility of such recipes. While I have always used regular cabbage (the green colored one) for this recipe, the last time I went to the market I found these fresh Purple/Red Cabbages.  I had one small chunk of paneer slab lurking in the fridge waiting to be used and I thought why not do my regular paratha but with this colorful cabbage instead. Looks a beaut isn't it?

Taste wise, it doesn't taste any different from the regular cabbage paratha - at least I couldn't decipher it with this recipe. The only difference was the way it looked - so colorful. So its a different way to coax little ones or even add a so-called "new dimension" to regular cabbage paratha. The recipe and ingredient might not be any different - but what will anyone else know ;) There is truth to the fact that we eat with our eyes first :) Its slightly on the heavy side (as with any other stuffed paratha recipe) and hence I pair it with simple pickle and raita. But you can make any light gravy to go with it. UPDATE: After being asked about it in my Chef In You Facebook  Page,  then in my comments section and finally via my contact form about "Why I haven't used the squeezed out cabbage water in my dough" I thought I will add that point to my post instead of answering it again and again. Well, normally I sure would use the water and you can too. But in this case, I had added generous sprinkling of salt and our daily salt intake is v v v minimal - much less than average household. Hence I did not want to add this salty cabbage water to my dough and chose to make my dough using plain water instead. But if the salt level is OK for you, do go ahead and add it to your cooking. :)
