Broccoli Paratha

Description

Broccoli is a healthy and nutritious green vegetable which is used in many preprations. We usually get confused with this vegetable. But lots of dishes can be prepared using broccoli florets and stem. It has its own unique flavor and taste.   In this recipe, I have prepared paratha using broccoli, potatoes, onion and seasoned with some masalas. The paratha was yummy, mouth melting, flavorsome.
