Broccoli Paratha

Heya peeps..


I was talking to my mom recently,when she mentioned that she made gobi parathas & they came out very well..That is when i got this idea of making Broccoli parathas...my take on gobi parathas....For all the moms who struggle to feed their children the greens they need...try this...the kids will love it for sure!!


Ingredients:


For the dough:

• 2 cups whole wheat/chapathi flour
• 1 tbsp oil
• salt to taste
• water - as needed

For the stuffing:

• 1 medium sized broccoli flower
• 1 tbsp coriander cumin powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp curry powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp aamchur powder
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp oil
• salt to taste
• chopped coriander leaves - 1/2 cup

Directions:

• Mix the wheat flour,salt,oil & water and knead it into a soft dough.Let it rest for 1 hr. (cover the dough with a bowl/a damp cloth/with cling wrap).
• Take only the broccoli florets (cut off the stem part of it) and put them in the blender to make a coarse powder. (You can also grate them,but this method is easier). 
• In a pan,heat the oil & add the cumin seeds to it. Once they start spluttering,add the grated broccoli,salt & let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
• To this,add the remaining spices & cook for another 2 minutes.Add the chopped coriander leaves at the end.
• Let this mixture cool down completely before you start making the parathas.
• Knead the dough once more & divide it into equal sized portions.Do the same thing with the mixture,so that you get equal sized parathas.
• Roll the dough into a small disc & put the filling in the center of it. Now,gather all the ends of the paratha & seal it in the center.(It should now look like a dumpling.)
• Roll this paratha gently so that the filling does not come out of the dough.
• Heat the tawa & fry the parathas till they turn golden brown on both sides.(add some oil to each side while flipping them)
• Serve hot with any pickle or raita.
