Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 1/2 cup Wheat Flour whole
- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter ghee
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Water add more as needed to form a soft dough, approximately
For the Broccoli Filling
- 1 large head Broccoli about 4 cups chopped florets
- 2 medium Potatoes boiled and grated
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 5 cloves Garlic minced
- 3 Chilies finely minced or use 1 tsp of green chili paste, green
- 1 tbsp Ginger grated
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 cup Wheat Flour for dusting, whole
- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter ghee, for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, ghee (or oil), and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Blanch and Prepare the Broccoli
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and a pinch of turmeric powder. Blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still slightly firm. Drain well and chop finely.
Make the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and green chilies, cooking until fragrant.
- Add grated ginger, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for a few seconds. Then add lemon juice and mix well. Stir in the chopped broccoli. Finally, add the grated potatoes and mix gently.
Assemble and Cook the Parathas
- Divide the dough into 8-9 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small circle. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the broccoli filling in the center. Bring the edges together to seal, then flatten and roll into a 6-7 inch circle.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Apply ghee (or oil) to both sides while cooking for a crispy texture.
Serve
- Serve the Broccoli and Potato Parathas hot with yogurt, chutney, or your favorite side dish.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Broccoli Parathas
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the filling.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking the parathas. Cook in batches to ensure even browning.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the filling, such as carrots, peas, or spinach.
