A fabulous stuffing of vibrant broccoli, peppy coriander and gooey cheese makes this broccoli cheese paratha a five-star rated delicacy that is sure to thrill your family and friends.

The rustic taste of broccoli goes very well with the mild and nutty taste of cheese, all of which is enhanced beautifully by the addition of coriander. Since the stuffing mixture is coarsely textured, we suggest simply folding the parathas into semi-circles and cooking them as such instead of the traditional way of folding them in and rolling them again, which sometimes leads to leaks!

It is also important to cook the parathas with ghee to get a splendid aroma and crisp texture. Done the right way, you will find the broccoli and cheese parathas easy to prepare, and also thoroughly enjoy the brilliant mix of textures and flavours in them.

pro tips for broccoli cheese paratha.

1. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes after kneading. This allows the gluten to relax, making the paratha softer and easier to roll out.
2. You can use grated processed cheese or even crumbled paneer instead of mozzarella cheese for a different taste.
3. Use ghee to cook the paratha for an extra layer of richness and flavor. You can substitute with cooking oil, but ghee adds a touch of magic.

In a bowl put 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour can create a slightly chewier texture in the paratha compared to refined flour.

Add 1 tbsp ghee. Ghee helps to create a flaky and layered texture in the paratha dough. This is because ghee has a high smoke point, meaning it can withstand high temperatures without burning. As the paratha cooks, the ghee separates from the dough in layers, creating those desirable flakes.
