    Expert Tips

    • While rolling for the first time don’t give more pressure in the center as the filling is going to be placed in the center and rolled again so make sure the center part is little thicker.
    • Gently roll the parathas and dust flour as and when needed.
    • Roll your parathas thick or thin as you like it.
    • I used my chopper to chop broccoli fine. You can use grater / mixer with pulse option. Don’t grind it smooth.

    Serving and Storage

    Broccoli Paratha is great to serve with curd and pickle. You can store the wheat flour and stuffing in fridge for 2 days. Make parathas when you want to serve.

      I use raw broccoli, either grated of chopped in the chopper, mixed with ginger, salt, pepper, a bit of chilli. The result is amazing, as the broccoli retains its vivid green colour and does not lose its properties through over cooking.

      Hey, How did you shred the broccoli? Is that using a Food processor, that point is not clear in the post.
      Please confirm.
