It is said that it is good to eat broccoli raw as cooking destroys some of its antioxidants.  It has vitamin C, calcium, anti cancer and anti viral properties. I have made its parantha.  Hereafter is its full recipe:
Ingredients
1 small size broccoli
1 small onion
1 fresh green chili
salt to taste
1 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of coriander powder
handful of chopped cilantro
2 cups of wheat flour
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of flour for rolling
oil
Method
1.  Wash and cut broccoli in small florets.  Soak in warm salty water for 10 minutes. Next clean it very carefully to make it worm free.
2. Now take out from water and keep it in any sieve to remove extra moisture for few minutes.
3. Next take broccoli florets in vegetable chopper or in small zar of mixer and pulse it 5-6 times or grate it with grater box.  If doing it in mixer zar, take few pieces at a time. Pulse it the remaining florets similarly. Now take this mixture in a clean cloth and squeeze its water completely. 
4. Peel the onion and ginger.  Now cut roughly chili, ginger and onion. Again pulse them for 4-5 times. 
or
Cut finely onion and ginger with hand if not very good in rolling the stuffed parantha. As done in the mixer zar on pulse contains little bit moisture.
5.  Now mix the broccoli, onion, chili and ginger mixture together. Add salt, coriander powder and garam masala just before we start making parantha.
6. Take the wheat flour in a big bowl and make a soft dough with 1 cup of water.Use squeezed water of broccoli to knead it.  If not sufficient take more normal water.  Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
7.  Now make four balls out of the dough.
8.  Roll it with rolling pin just like roti in round shape.  Put handful of stuffing on it and gather from all sides and make flat ball of it.
9.  Now  roll this stuffed flat ball into the dry flour and slightly press it with hands and then roll it with rolling pin on wooden surface/chakla with very light hand.
10.  Place this stuffed and rolled parantha on the heated tava,/pan etc.  when one side seems dry turn it to the other side.
11.  After that apply oil to both sides and cook it till crisp.
12.  Delectable broccoli parantha/purontha is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy cooking!!!

Pinwheel samose is  prepared with the same ingredients which we use in making samosas. The difference between the two is of its wrapping, and of course  its shape too.  Samosas are made in triangle shape while pinwheel samosas are made in round wheel shape. It is a very tempting tea time snack.  Here below is its full recipe:
Ingredients
For dough
2 cups of all purpose flour/maida
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of ajvain
1/4 cup of oil
1/3 cup of water to knead flour
For stuffing 
2tbsp frozen peas (optional)
4 small or medium sized Potatoes
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 tsp Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
2 teaspoon chat masala
1tsp coarse soanf powder
1 tsp. coriander powder
1 heaped tbsp tomato ketchup
1 chopped green chili
few curry leaves
2 tbsp Cooking Oil
Method

1. Boil and peel the potatoes. Let it be on normal temperature and now mash it with the back of spatula.  
2. Take the mashed potatoes, frozen peas, salt, coriander powder, red chili powder, soanf, turmeric, chat masala, green chilies,curry leaves and oil, in a ceramic/microwave proof tray /bowl.
3. Mix the whole mixture properly.
4 .Now microwave it for 3 minutes and stir.
5. Next add tomato ketchup and stir.  
Dough
Take the all purpose flour in big plate or bowl.  Add ajvain and salt.  Now mix the oil with the flour rubbing it by hands. Bow make a stiff dough with 1/3 cup of water.  Keep it rest for 15 minutes.
Preparing rolls
1. Divide the dough in two balls.  Make smooth balls out of it.  Now roll it on chopping board/kitchen counter in a rectangle or square shape.  See in the collage below. 
2.  Now spread the potato mixture on it and slightly roll above potato mixture to make it smooth. Sorry, I forgot to take photo of this step. It is missing in collage.
3. Next roll it tightly. Wrap this roll in cling film and roll it with hands on the board. 
4.  Now remove the wrap and cut it into pinwheel samosas pieces.
5.  Press each piece between the palms very gently. 
6.  Preheat the OTG for 15 minutes on 190 degree C with greased tray.
7.  Grease each pin wheel samosa with milk or oil.
8.  Place it on greased tray on  and bake it on 190 degree C till light brown.  I placed the tray on middle rack.  Mine took 35 minutes.  Turn in between and keep an close eye on it.  Baking time may be vary oven to oven.
