Paratha - one among the popular Indian flat bread. Here is the simple kids friendly broccoli paratha carved into cute little shapes. It’s perfect lunch box recipe too.
Wash the broccoli, pat it dry and grate them ignoring the stems.
Steps
Add the wheat flour, corn flour, sambar powder, salt and sugar to the grated broccoli and mix well.
Broccoli combined with salt will ooze out water. So add water little by little and knead the dough. The dough should be thick and should not be watery.
Divide the dough into 10-12 balls and roll them. If required dust with additional flour.
Carving out shapes
Once you roll the paratha, using your favorite cookie cutter, carve the desired shapes. From one ball of dough, I carved out 3 shapes.
Now heat the tava and place these rolled/carved parathas and spread little oil. (I placed unto 4 carved out paratha in the tava)
Let it cook for a minute and flip. Let it cook for another minute on the other side. If required add oil.
Once both sides are cooked, thats it. Yummy parathas are ready.
Serve hot with ketchup or yogurt or pickle.
Notes
Additional of corn flour is completely optional. Instead of sambar powder, you can add coriander powder and red chilly powder or the store bought paratha masala. Adjust salt and sugar(optional) according to your preference. Instead of broccoli, grated paneer or cauliflower can be added.
