paratha recipe using broccoli

• Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
• water - as needed
• broccoli,separated into florets - 1 cup
• cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• red chilli powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• chat masala - a pinch
• onion - 1 finely chopped
• salt - to taste

Instructions

Make the dough with wheat flour or atta with enough salt and water.Rest the dough for 20 minutes.Meanwhile separate the florets from broccoli and rinse it with water.Dry the florets in kitchen towel and took the florets in the blender and give whirl for few seconds.Don't mash it up very nicely.

This would be like a minced one and after that heat oil in a kadai,then add cumin seeds to it.Once it splutter,add finely chopped onions to it and saute it till it becomes soft and brown.

Then add the broccoli which we grind before and saute it till the raw smell leaves.Now add red chilli powder and chat masala to it along with salt and mix it quickly.Drizzle little water to combine everything.Once it combined and dried,switch off the flame and wait till it came to room temperature.

then divide the dough we preared before into equal balls and divide the broccoli mixture into equal parts.Roll the dough into thick flat disc and place the broccoli mixture in the centre.seal it and roll it again gently into a circular disc.repeat the process for remaining dough.

Now heat the skillet and grease it with oil or ghee.Cook the rolled disc on both sides till they get browned spots on both sides.Cook this in medium or low flame to get better results.

Serve it with any sides or with simply raitas.
