Most of the Indians prefers curry and parathas over a bowl of soup or salad, hence this Broccoli paratha will help you to incorporate more veggie portion in your diet. As you all might already know the health benefits of these green florets.

Broccoli Paratha as the name says it has a broccoli, cilantro, green chili for added spiciness and some seasoning. I have use food processor to make paratha but you can use grinder or shredder. Food processor makes this recipe very fast and don’t forget to check alternate recipe and storing tips for busy people.
