BROCCOLI PARATHA

Hot Parathas can be served any time with curd, pickle.  I make any kind of parathas any time for breakfast, lunch, evening snacks or dinner as I love to eat garmagaram with pickle.  

Broccoli is rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants .  Fresh broccoli is a storehouse of many phyto nutrients.   It is a rich source of Vitamin .  Vitamin A is essential for healthy eye sight and helps prevent from macular degeneration of the retina in the elderly people.    This flower vegetable is rich source of vitamin K and B Complex group of vitamins and have some amount of omega 3 fatty acids.  Also good source of minerals like calcium, manganese, iron, magnesium, selenium, zinc and phosphorus.

In short it is good for the people who are suffering from diabetes and heart related issues.

The florets with paneer and some masalas make the parathas awesome.
