As the frosty tendrils of winter weave their way through our days, there's a comforting rhythm to be found in the kitchen. And what better way to embrace the season's chill than by embracing the verdant, versatile cruciferous hero: Broccoli.

Ingredients

2 cups maida 1 ⅓ cup ghee 2 tbsp chopped almonds 2 tbsp chopped pistachios 2 tbsp chopped raisins 3 tbsp Suji ½ cup grated dry coconut ½ tsp cardamom powder ½ cup powdered sugar 200 gms khoya or mawa Oil for frying Salt, as needed Water, as needed

Step 1

In a large bowl, add maida and salt. Give it a good mix. Add ghee. Mix it well with the maida to form small lumps.

Step 2

Add water little by little until a tight dough forms. Rub some ghee over it, cover, and keep it aside for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a pan over medium heat.  Add ghee and the chopped dry fruits. Fry until they change colour. Remove and keep aside.

Step 4

Add suji and roast over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Remove from the pan. Add grated coconut and roast until brown. Set aside.

Step 5

Add roasted suji, coconut, and fried dry fruits to a bowl and mix them.  Add cardamom powder and sugar powder. Mix

Step 6

Add khoya and muddle the mixture with your hands. Keep this aside. Cut the dough and roll it into a flatbread, like a chapati

Step 7

Place stuffing on the round dough. Apply little water to the surroundings and fold it. Press on the surface to make sure it is stuck together well.

Step 8

Deep-fry until golden brown. Serve!
