Broccoli Paratha

Stuffed Parathas are a very common and traditional breakfast item mainly in North India. Normally you would see things like onions, potatoes or paneer as stuffing followed by cooking in oil or ghee to add to its richness.

I am always looking for ways to include nutritious vegetables like broccoli into Indian cuisine as this vegetable is not traditionally cooked in Indian kitchens. This has become my family favorite as it brings the two worlds together perfectly with a lot of flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients
1/2 cup broccoli; shredded
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp Sea Salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp Ginger powder
1/4 tsp amchur powder (mango powder)
