Method
-
1
Begin by preparing your broccoli. Roughly chop 200g of IQF Frozen Broccoli into bite-sized florets. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
-
2
Add the chopped broccoli to the skillet. Season with a generous pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Barbeque Flavour. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, releasing its earthy aroma.

While the broccoli cooks, crack 4 large eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with another pinch of salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon of Barbeque Flavour for a smoky depth.

Push the cooked broccoli to one side of the skillet (or transfer to a warm plate). Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot skillet. Let them set for a few seconds, then gently push the cooked portions towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until creamy and just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Gently fold the savory scrambled eggs into the seasoned broccoli, combining the vibrant green florets with the fluffy, spiced eggs. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

In a separate dry pan or on a griddle, heat each Lachcha Paratha over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown, hot, and beautifully flaky. The layers will begin to separate, creating a delightful texture.

To serve, lay out a warm Lachcha Paratha. Spoon a generous portion of the hot, spiced broccoli and egg scramble onto the center. Fold or roll the paratha around the filling, creating a handheld delight.

Serve immediately, experiencing the harmonious blend of crispy, flaky paratha with the rich, smoky, and tender filling. A truly satisfying Middle Eastern-inspired breakfast.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to the egg mixture, if available. Don't overcook the scrambled eggs; they should remain moist and tender for the best texture inside the flaky paratha. You can also toast the parathas directly on a gas flame for a few seconds after pan-frying to puff them up even more, but be careful not to burn them.
