Method
  • Boil water in pan. When done switch off the flame. Add the broccoli florets, salt and leave it for 3 Min's.

  • In a bowl mix all the ingredients for the stuffing and keep aside.
  • Mix the whole wheat flour and salt in an another bowl. Add the water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 Min's.
  • Then divide the filling into equal portions.
  • Flatten a ball of dough and roll it. Place the stuffing at the center, bring the edges towards the center and roll the dough gently by dusting the flour.
  • Heat the tawa, place the chappathi, grease some oil and cook on both sides. Repeat with the remaining dough.Serve with your favorite gravy, raitha etc....
Tip:
Reserve the water squeezed from broccoli florets for kneading the dough.

broccoli is high in iron..and for a person like me who doesnt like to eat it in form of stir frys, this is a great version.
