Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Ginger - 1 small
Wheat flour - 4 cups
Hot water - 1 cup

In a pan, add finely chopped broccoli in 1/4 cup water.  Cook it for 3 minutes in low to medium flame. Separate this in a small bowl. In the same pan, add two table spoon of oil. Add finely chopped onions, green chilly and ginger. Saute it for two minutes. Add turmeric powder, red chilly powder, cumin powder,  pepper powder and salt. Saute it again for a minute. Now add half cooked broccoli and mix it well. Switch off the flame. Once it is cool, grind it in a mixer for 30 seconds. Keep it aside.


In a large bowl. Add wheat flour, one cup of hot water, salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Knead it well and make a soft dough. Make small round shaped balls. Make small space in the centre for the broccoli filling. Now bring the edges to the centre. And with a chapatti press, get the round paratha shape. Heat a pan. Once it is hot, cook these paratha's in medium flame. Ensure it is cooked on both sides. Add ghee while cooking. Since the masala is already cooked, no need to over cook. You can have Broccoli paratha for breakfast or dinner. Try it with my cauliflower egg poriyal recipe. It was yummy. Everyone  liked it at my home.
