broccoli paratha
Ingredients
For Stuffing
Broccoli - 2,  medium heads
Onion - 1, small, shopped
Green chillies -1, medium, chopped
Ginger - 1/2 inch, chopped
Garam masala - 1tsp
Corriander powder - 1 tsp
Salt

For Dough
Whole wheat flour - 3 cups
Water

Method
  • Grate broccoli, sprinkle salt and keep it aside for 30 minutes
  • Prepare dough by kneading flour and water to make a firm dough [add water little by little adjusting the stiffness of the dough]. Keep the dough covered and proceed for the next step
  • Squeeze excess water from the grated broccoli and mix chopped onions, ginger, chillies and all other spices and salt. 
  • Now make parathas by pinching a small ball from the dough, roll a little, put the stuffing on top, seal the edges, and roll it out in the form of a disc.
  • Fry the parathas on hot tawa/griddle by brushing little oil on both sides 
  • Serve hot with yogurt, raita, chutney

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Tips: While preparing the dough you can add some fresh petals to add beautiful pattern During baking, one of my...
