BROCCOLI SPINACH PARATHA RECIPE :

Recipe: Indian / Category: main course
Prep time: 20 mins / cook time : 30 mins
To Grind:
Spinach (boiled) : 2 cups
Salt : as required
Cumin/ jeera powder : 1 tsp
Garam masala powder : 1 tsp
For the dough:
Atta / wheat flour : 2 cups
Salt: as required
Oil/ ghee: 1 tsp + 1/8 cup for cooking paratha
For the Stuffing :
Broccoli : 1 head (finely chopped)
Green chilly : 1 tblsp (finely chopped)
Coriander leaves : 1 tblsp (finely chopped)
Jeera : 1 tsp
Fennel seeds : 1 tsp
Hing : A pinch
Turmeric powder : 1 tsp
Garam masala powder : 1 tsp
Salt : as required
Oil : 1 tblsp
METHOD:
Wash spinach & drain water.
Microwave spinach for 5 mins with pinch of salt.
Drain water keep aside. Let it cool down

Grind the boiled spinach with cumin & garam masala powder.

Now slowly add flour to this mixture.

It will be sticky but it's ok.

Add 1 tsp oil and knead the dough.
Keep it closed for 15 mins.

Now for the stuffing, chop the broccoli into
 medium sized florets.

Then cut it into fine pcs. I used food processor &
chopped it as shown in the pic below.

Now, heat a pan & add oil. Add hing, jeera, fennel seeds.
Let it cook fro 30 seconds.

Add the finely chopped green chilly& turmeric powder.
Let it cook for 30 seconds.

Now add the finely chopped broccoli, garam masala
& salt as required. Mix it well.

Cover the pan with a lid & cook the mixture for
5 to 8 mins.

The raw smell has to go & broccoli will change color
after cooking. Now add chopped coriander leaves.

Mix it well & make sure the stuffing is dry & not soggy.

Then make even round balls of the dough & stuffing as shown below.

Now roll the dough by dusting flour into a small disc.
Place the stuffing in the middle.

Start to cover the stuffing with dough as shown 
in the picture below.

Seal the dough completely to make sure the stuffing
does not come out.

Dust the stuffed dough with flour on both sides.

Then roll it into paratha as shown below.

Now heat a pan & place the paratha once the pan is hot.

After 30 seconds, flip it & add little bit oil on top
of the paratha. Flip the other side & add oil. 

Cook it till brown spots appear & flip it to cook the other side.
The paratha will puff as shown in the picture.
Once both sides are cooked evenly, transfer it to a plate.

Serve it hot with your favourite sabji or raitha :-)

Enjoy yummy & healthy Broccoli Spinach paratha :-)

Notes:
* I used olive oil. Ghee or butter can be used
* I used garam masala & jeera powder but it is optional
* Pls don't add water to knead the dough 
* The stuffing has to be dry & not soggy.
* For the stuffing, please use masala of your choice.
* While rolling the stuffed dough dusting flour is important.
In case if the dough breaks and stuffing comes out, 
the flour will help to patch the same.
