Broccoli potato methi stuffed flat bread/Paratha
A healthy breakfast with the goodness of both broccoli and fenugreek leaves. Even I didn’t know that this is going to be so tasty before I tried.
As far as I know, anything and everything prepared with broccoli turns out yummy. Earlier I had made this flat bread by putting cauliflower along with potato and fenugreek leaves, that also turned out to be too yummy. And this time I tried adding broccoli and I have put more amount of broccoli compared to cauliflower.
Broccoli is a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, choline, Vitamin B1, vitamin A,Ā potassium, and copper. ItĀ is also a good source of vitamin B1, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, calcium, iron, niacin, and selenium etc.
Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml
For the outer layer/dough :
- Whole wheat flour orĀ Multigrain flour (I used Multigrain flour) – 2 cups
- And extra flour for dusting
- Salt as required (I don’t use)
- Water to knead the dough
For stuffing :
- Broccoli – 2 cups
