Now add the remaining ingredients one after another. Cabbage, coriander, chilies, jeera powder, coriander powder, ginger, garlic, salt. Mix well.
Now add the wheat flour. Mix well. If you need excess water use water and make a soft yet firm dough.
Rest dough for 10 minutes. Now add 2 Tsp of oil and  knead the dough for 10 minutes. Leave the dough to rest for 1 hour. Now the dough is ready for making the parathas.
Take small portion of the dough and roll it into 5 inch round.
Fry the paratha on a tawa with oil or butter. Keep the flame medium while frying.
Serve with a cup of curd and curry.
TIPS

• Cabbage should be finely shredded, otherwise the parathas would tear while rolling. You can blanch cabbage if you like.
• Use other veggies of your choice to enhance the taste.
• Resting of the dough is important to get soft parathas.
