Method: Stovetop
Prep Time : 10 minutes
Cook Time : 15 minutes
Total Time : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Measuring cup (1 cup = 250 ml)

    For the Dough:

    • 2 cups whole wheat flour (Chapati flour)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt 
    • 1 teaspoon oil

    For the Broccoli Paneer filling: 

    • 1 cup shredded Broccoli (steamed or boiled)
    • 1 cup grated paneer (about 175 grams)
    • 1 teaspoon amchur powder
    • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds(jeera) powder
    • ½ teaspoon red chilli powder (Or to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon garam masala  (Or to taste)
    • ½ teaspoon chaat masala (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves finely chopped
    • salt adjust to taste

    Instructions
     

    • 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.
    • Divide the dough into equal portions—dust and roll the dough ball to make a 4-inch circle.
    • Keep 2-3 tablespoon 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.
    • Heat a griddle/tawa. Transfer the paratha to the hot griddle. Cook until brown spots appear on both sides.
    • Apple oil or ghee and cook until nicely browned.
    • Serve stuffed broccoli paneer paratha hot with raita and pickle.

    Notes

    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 brought.
    3. You can also chop broccoli finely, saute them in 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan along with other spices. Turn of 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.

    For Boondi Raita - I whisked yogurt first and added cumin powder, chat masala, red chili powder, salt, and some store brought boondi. Mix well.

    SNACK – Pistachios & Raisins- Pistas are high in protein and rich in nutrients. You can combine any nuts of your choice.

    SNACK – Veggie Straws - This snack is not very very healthy but better than traditional potato chips because they contain less fat. Since my daughter loves them I sometimes pack these.

    Prep Work For The Previous Evening

    1. You can prepare the dough at night and refrigerate it in an airtight container.

    Notes

    • Packed in a stainless steel tiffin box called Lunchbots which is Eco-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe, BPA-Free and is easily available on Amazon. Do not use plastic lunch boxes to your kids, they are toxic.
    • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child’s appetite.
