Broccoli Paratha
Indian flatbread gets healthier with addition of broccoli to it. One of the ways to feed greens to kids.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Wheat flour (Aata)
- 1.5 Cups Broccoli Finely Grated
- 1 Onion Finely Chopped
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 Tsp Coriander Powder
- 1/3 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt As per taste
- 3 Tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the broccoli. Now grate the broccoli in a food processor or with the help of grater.
- Take a mixing bowl and add flour and a pinch of salt to it. Knead it into a soft dough with the help of water and keep aside.
- In an another bowl, add all the spices, grated broccoli and chopped onion and mix it well. Our stuffing for broccoli paratha is ready now.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and make round balls of it.
- Spread some dry flour on the surface where you planning to roll the parathas, and place a dough ball on it.
- With the help of a rolling pin, roll the dough into a small circle. Now put some stuffing on it and gather all the edges to make it round once again.
- Again apply some flour to it and press it into a small circle with help of your fingers. This step helps in evenly spreading of stuffing. Now with the help of rolling pin, roll it into a circle of 5-6 inch diameter.
- Place a tawa / non-stick pan over medium heat, and place the rolled paratha on it. Flip it over after 1 minute and then apply Oil on the top side.
- Flip it again and apply Oil this side too and let it cook properly on both sides till brown blisters appears, flipping it few times.
- Transfer cooked paratha to a plate, and make rest of the parathas by repeating the above steps. Serve them hot with mint coriander chutney and yogurt.
Notes
- Always knead dough little more soft compared to the chapati dough. As the stuffing doesn't come out if dough is more softer.
- Always make the stuffing at the last moment as if kept for long after making, it leaves water and stuffing gets little watery.
