Take wheat flour, salt, and oil in a bowl and mix well. Add water and knead together to make a soft dough. Now apply oil over the dough and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add shredded broccoli, grated paneer, amchur powder, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix everything well.

Keep 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the circle's center, and then bring the ends together.
Dust and roll gently to make a 6-8 inch diameter paratha.
