Broccoli Paneer Paratha

Broccoli is one of the world's healthiest foods. This vegetable is a powerhouse of nutrients. In addition, it's reputed to benefit digestion, the cardiovascular system, and the immune system and to have anti-inflammatory and even cancer-preventing properties.

Paneer is a rich source of protein, and thus, it is ideal for vegetarians. It fulfills your daily calcium needs too. This helps your bones to grow faster and stronger. So this recipe is a good way of serving wholesome meals to your toddlers or kids.

Other Indian Broccoli Recipes to try from my blog are Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Broccoli 65, Broccoli besan stir fry, Broccoli Spinach Soup, Broccoli Raita, and Broccoli Poriyal.

How to Make Broccoli Paneer Paratha

Firstly blanch or steam the broccoli florets. Then chop the broccoli finely. You can also chop using the food processor.

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 mins.

Meanwhile, for the Broccoli paneer filling, mix all the ingredients listed for making the filling in a bowl.

Which flour is best to make paratha?

After trying many whole wheat flours from Indian grocery stores in the USA, I prefer Sujatha Gold Sharbati Whole Wheat Flour or Aashirvaad Whole Wheat Atta.

Tips & Variations

  1. ¼ cup of grated cheese also can be added to the broccoli paneer filling.
  2. Best if homemade paneer is used since it will be softer than store-bought.
  3. You can also chop broccoli finely, saute them in 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan along with other spices. Turn off the gas. Then mix broccoli mixture with crumbled paneer and use as a filling.
  4. If you don't have paneer, you can also add boiled potato (aloo).
  5. If you are vegan, then skip ghee and butter and use any cooking oil.
  6. You can also add some chopped mint for extra flavor.
