Gobi Paratha with Raita

Gobi is one of the most liked vegetables in India and one of the favored recipes are Alu Gobhi, Gobi Paratha and many more. After much thinking about what to prepare for dinner I finally made Gobi Parathas and Raita. Instead of watching T.V and eating dinner as we do everyday, our center of attraction were parathas and we had them peacefully talking to each other :) about the things we did the whole day.
