Ingredients:

For the Dough:

•  2 cups whole wheat flour
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
•  1 tablespoon ghee or oil
•  Water, as needed

For the Filling:

•  1 cup finely grated broccoli florets
•  1 cup finely grated cauliflower florets
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 tablespoon ghee or oil
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dried mango powder)
•  Salt, to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped (optional)
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
•  Add ghee or oil and mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
•  Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

• Heat ghee or oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Sauté until they start to splutter.
• Add the finely grated broccoli and cauliflower. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and any excess moisture evaporates.
• Add turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, amchur, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If using, add chopped coriander leaves and green chilies. Stir well and set aside to cool.

3. Assemble the Parathas:

• Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
• Roll out each ball into a small circle using a rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed.
• Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of the circle. Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling and pinch to seal.
•  Gently flatten the filled dough ball with your fingers or rolling pin to form a paratha, being careful not to let the filling spill out.

4. Cook the Parathas:

• Heat a tava or griddle over medium heat.
• Place the paratha on the hot griddle and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles start to form.
• Flip the paratha and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Apply a little ghee or oil on both sides and cook until golden brown and crisp.
•  Remove from the griddle and keep warm in a covered container.

5. Serve:

• Serve the broccoli and cauliflower parathas hot with yogurt, pickle, or a side of your choice.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious broccoli and cauliflower parathas.
