Instructions
- Firstly, prepare the dough for the paratha. Take a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of whole wheat flour, oil and salt.
- Use your fingers, stir in the salt and oil into the flour. Mix it well, then add water gradually (a little at a time) to the flour and knead it to make a soft and pliable dough. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
- The next step is to prepare stuffing for the paratha. Heat the oil in a pan or kadhai, add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic and salt, cook it for a couple of minutes.
- Add grated broccoli and saute for 2 minutes. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and garam masala powder. Cook the spices and broccoli for 3-4 minutes. Switch off the flame, add boiled potatoes and amchur powder. Mix it well with the broccoli mixture. Keep it aside and let it cool down completely. Divide the broccoli stuffing into equal portions.
- Knead the dough again for a couple of minutes and divide it into equal portions.
- Dust the dough in dry wheat flour, flatten it with your finger and roll it in a small circle of about 3 inches in diameter.
- Take a portion of stuffing and place it in the centre. Next, pleat the sides of the paratha dough and bring them together in the centre. Press the stuffed paratha dough down and gently flatten it with your fingers.
- Dust the stuffed dough in some flour and roll it gently, applying very little pressure. Roll it to desired thickness.
- Heat a griddle or tawa on medium heat and place the rolled broccoli paratha. Let it cook on medium heat for about 20 to 25 seconds. When it is partly cooked, flip the paratha.
- At this stage, apply a teaspoon of ghee or oil and spread it around on the paratha. Flip again and spread a little more ghee; keep pressing the paratha around the edges. Cook the paratha evenly from both sides and proceed similarly with the remaining portions of paratha dough and filling.
- Serve the hot broccoli Paratha with pickle, curd and salad.
