Broccoli Paratha (Healthy,Simple & Easy)

I have been thinking to do this Broccoli Paratha for the past 2 months and some how did not get to making  it.We all love this yummy, healthy paratha. Srilekha's EFM : Parthas and Gravies/Curries has motivated me to make this.Finally ,today I made it and here is how this recipe goes....

Main Ingredients :
-------------------
Broccoli.........................1small bunch
Wheat Flour...................3cups
Warm Water..................for kneading

Seasoning Ingredients :
------------------------
Olive Oil........................................2tsp
Ginger-Chilly Paste........................2tsp
Turmeric........................................1tsp
Ajwain/Vamu.................................2tsp
Saunf/Fennel Seeds........................2tsp
Sesame Seeds................................2tsp
Amchur(Dry Mango)Powder..........2tsp
Garam Masala Powder...................2tsp
Salt................................................to taste
Ghee/Butter..................................1/4 cup

Preparation :
-------------


Cut the broccoli into small florets and wash nicely.Place the florets in the chopper and chop them fine.Take all shredded broccoli in a big bowl.Now in the same chopper make paste of  a piece of ginger and few green chillies(if you have paste ready you can use it).

Now add the ginger chilli paste to broccoli shed. Also add ajwain seeds,fennel seeds,sesame seeds ,  turmeric , amchur powder and mix well.

Now add garam masala powder to it.Now to this mix add the wheat flour and now also add required salt and mix it well so that the flour and the ingredients mix well.

Now slowly add warm water to the wheat-broccoli mix and make a dough.Adjust Flour and water accordingly.Once the dough is ready apply 2tsp of oil to the dough and cover it and let it sit for 1/2 hour.


When ready to eat , preheat the tawa.Roll the dough into parathas of the size you like and place it on the pre-heated tawa.
Let the paratha cook well on the 1st side and apply some ghee or butter and turn to the otherside and let it cook.Once done take it off the tawa and is ready to serve.
Yummy Broccoli Paratha is ready to serve.Serve it hot yogurt , pickle or curries of your choice.We like to eat it with yogurt.


Note :
-------
1)You can adjust the amount of spices according to your taste.

2)You don't need too much water while making the dough as the broccoli has some wetness in it.
