Yummy Broccoli Paratha is ready to serve.Serve it hot yogurt , pickle or curries of your choice.We like to eat it with yogurt.Let the paratha cook well on the 1st side and apply some ghee or butter and turn to the otherside and let it cook.Once done take it off the tawa and is ready to serve.
Note :
-------
1)You can adjust the amount of spices according to your taste.
2)You don't need too much water while making the dough as the broccoli has some wetness in it.
