Broccoli Stuffed Paratha is one simple dish that is easy to prepare and loaded with dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and a lot of cancer-fighting components. No wonder it is included in the Superfood family! I agree to be sent email.
With Broccoli, I usually stick to preparing soups, stir-fries, or broccoli cutlets. This time, I decided to veer off the beaten path and try something different like Parathas. This was a huge success on two fronts…it tasted wonderful and I found a great way to sneak broccoli into a kid’s diet. Broccoli can be eaten cooked or raw and both are perfectly healthy ways. For this recipe, I grated the broccoli and stuffed them inside the dough. So there is no question of overcooking them. All the flavors, nutrition, and vitamins are intact as you start to cook the parathas. If you want to know more health benefits of broccoli visit here
Ingredients note
Wheat flour: For best results, be sure to use whole wheat flour rather than any other kind. I used the brand ‘Sujatha’ for the flour, but you can use any brand you prefer as long as it is ‘whole wheat flour’.Broccoli: Be sure to rinse with florets in clean water and soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before cutting them. Try to have the florets in comparable sizes so that they blanch evenly.Spices: Use your favorite spices here as a stuffing for parathas. I used mango powder, ginger powder, turmeric, and red chili powder. (Or substitute with garam masala)
How to make this recipe
The broccoli paratha recipe is ready! Serve it warm paired with plain vegan yogurt or butter and vegetable kurma! Roll the stuffed broccoli to make a flat roti. It is hard to maintain a circular shape when you are rolling. It is ok to end up with any shape. It is usually a source of laughter when the kids get funny-shaped parathas.
Expert tips
Do not apply much pressure when you roll the broccoli parathas. That leaves uneven thickness and overcooks the parathas at some spots.Grate the broccoli into a fine texture. This will greatly help when you roll/flatten the dough.You don’t have to toss the broccoli stems! Use them in your curry or stir fry recipe!To get the best-tasting parathas, apply a thin layer of vegan butter or olive oil when you serve them warm. Store leftover stuffed parathas in an airtight container for up to a week.
Storing suggestion
Broccoli Paratha freezes well. Just let them cool to room temp once they are cooked. Then freeze them into ziplock freezer bags. Place a parchment paper in between each Paratha, so they don’t stick to each other. Just thaw them and heat them on a skillet with a little oil when you need them! Just like store-bought parathas!
