Vaidya Culinary Note (contemporary Indian tiffin flatbread tradition)
Cauliflower Coriander Paratha is a freshly griddled bread with a modest amount of finishing fat. Vata: serve warm, cook until tender, and add a little ghee if the dish feels dry. Pitta: moderate chilies and sharp sourness, favoring coriander or fennel. Kapha: keep the portion light, reduce added fat, and favor ginger or black pepper.
