I had dal paratha on my list for quite sometime and finally made it. To make it healthy and to sneak in broccoli into my little one, I have also added broccoli to the filling. The parathas were flaky and the filling tasted great. I think I am finally getting the hang of stuffed parathas although I am still working on the perfect circle .

Ingredients – For Dough
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp ajwain (optional)
Salt

Ingredients – For Filling
3/4 cup channa dal cooked with a little salt and mashed
1 tsp oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
2 cups broccoli shredded
Pinch of turmeric powder
Chilly powder to taste
Salt to taste

Method
Soak channa dal for an hour and cook. (Soaking just helps the dal to cook faster. It is optional.)

Dal cooked and ready to be mashed.

Mashed dal.

Heat oil and splutter mustard seeds.

Add the broccoli mixture to the dal and mix well.

Make small balls of the filling and keep aside.

Take wheat flour, ajwain and salt.

Heat a tawa and place the rolled paratha.

Flip over after say 30 seconds to a minute. Add a tsp of oil over the paratha.
