Broccoli Paratha is a soft paratha made by adding shredded broccoli and spices. This is a great way to include Broccoli in your diet. Also, i call this green paratha whenever it s on the menu, just so that the little Miss eats it.
There is only thing to remember if you want to make a mean broccoli paratha. Make sure that you roll out the parathas and cook them as soon as you knead the dough. These parathas taste best when served hot.
Shall we now check how to Broccoli Paratha step by step?
Chop broccoli into florets. Blanch them in hot water. Drain completely. Make sure there s no water. Once done, shred this finely using a shredder or mince this along with garlic, cumin powder, turmeric powder, chili powder and mix well using a whisk.
Now, add wheat flour,salt and finely chopped onions to bowl. Add the shredded broccoli and mix again. Begin kneading the dough by sprinkling water little by little. Knead until you have a smooth dough. DO NOT USE MORE WATER. The broccoli releases water eventually and will help in kneading the dough.
Once done, divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Shape each portion into a ball. Flatten the ball into a thick disk. Dust with flour and roll into parathas that are approximately 2mm thick. Do not be tempted to make thin parathas.
When this is done, heat a tawa. Cook the paratha on each side till golden spots begin to appear. Flip, smear oil and cook for 20 secs each side. Remove and drain on a kitchen towel. Repeat the rolling and cooking for the remaining dough.
