Broccoli Paratha


 I follow the same recipe that I use to make 
Gobhi ke parathe and used broccoli instead of gobhi (cauliflower).



Here's what I did -

Ingredients

Oil for shallow frying

For stuffing
1 small head of broccoli, grated
/2 tsp salt
1 green chili, minced (optional)
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp kitchen king masala
1 tsp ginger, grated
1/2 tsp owa/ajwain/thymol seeds/ajowan/ajmo
or
1 tsp cumin seeds/jeera
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp dry anardaana, coarsely crushed
2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
1 boiled potato (optional)



For paratha
2 cups wheat flour
salt to taste
1 tsp oil



Method -

1. Grate broccoli. Sprinkle salt and set aside for 15 minutes.
 Squeeze water and drain the broccoli completely.2.
 Mix all the ingredients for the stuffing. Check for salt. Set aside.

3. Knead a dough for paratha using wheat flour, salt, water and oil.
Cover and keep aside for 20-30 minutes.
4. Make a ball of a dough. Roll into a small round. Put the stuffing on top.
5. Fold and dredge in some flour. Roll into a thick paratha.
6. Shallow fry on a hot tawa/pan/griddle adding oil per your taste
till brown spots appear on both the sides.
7. Serve hot with yogurt and pickles.

Note -
1. I used food processor to grate the broccoli.
2. Generally, I do not add boiled potato.
But I discovered one lonely boiled potato in the fridge, so decided to use it.
3. You can increase or decrease the spices per your own preference.
