Paratha is a famous North Indian recipe. Aloo(mashed potato with spices), Gobi(flavored cauliflower) and are the most commonly used fillings.

Cooking time :30 mins
Servings : 10 parathas
Ingredients:
For making dough :
1. Wheat flour ( Atta ) - 3&1/2 cups
2. Salt - 1 tbsp.
3. Water - 1&1/4 cups
For filling :
4. Broccoli florets - 2 cups
5. Chilli powder - 1 tsp
6. Coriander powder - 1 tsp
7. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
8. Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
9. Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp.
10. Oil - 2tbsp
11. Ghee (optional) - for making paratha
Method of preparation:
For making dough:
2. Mix well for 2 mins using hands or wooden spoon.
3. After kneading for few mins apply oil on the outer surface of the dough and close in a container.
4. Let it sit while we make filling.
For making the stuffing:
5. In a mixer add broccoli florets and wiper it. ( If its not grinding well, grind little by little. Don't add water!!!)
6. In a sauté pan add oil, cumin seeds and broccoli.
7. Add all the spices( salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala)and mix well.
8. If its sticking to the pan just sprinkle little water and mix well until all the raw smell of masala goes off.
9. Cook until all the water evaporates and let it cool completely.
Paratha making:
11. Press it in between your palm.
12. Press the ends so the ends are thin and keep the filling in the center and seal it.
13. Make as a ball and keep it on the floured surface.
14. Press it using the fingers so that the fillings are spread evenly inside the dough.
15. Roll the dough using a roller. The paratha need not to be very thin.
16. Heat a pan and put the paratha in it.
17. Cook on both sides by pressing it and apply little ghee while flipping.
18. Serve the hot paratha with spiced yoghurt or pickle!!
Notes:
1. You can also add a little ghee or milk while making dough.
2. If you find that the dough is very dry, add water and knead again.
3. If the dough is so sticky, add flour to it.
4. I prefer to make mix my dough looser than normal chapati dough so that it spreads easily with the filling.
5. While rolling parathas sprinkle some flour when you feel its sticky.
6. You can also steam the broccoli before wiping it.
