Mixed Bhaji Paratha

Here is the recipe of parathas that are highly nutritious. Since I just made them while experimenting and I am no professional cook, I cannot give you exact measures of the ingredients. But in these parathas remember that the quantity of flour should be just enough to bind the leaves and not more. Plus if you use one cup wheat flour then the total quantity of all the other flours should not exceed one cup else the dough will be quiet sticky.

Ingredients: Fenugreek leaves
Spinach
Coriander leaves
Mint leaves
Gram flour
Whole wheat flour
Suji
Turmeric
Salt
Recipe: Soak all the leaves in water for 10 minutes. Wash them again in drinking water. Drain them and chop them finely. Now put them in a large bowl and add all flour, salt, turmeric powder in it. Bind them into a tight dough using minimum of water or CURD if desired. Remember that the dough should be very tight as the leaves leave water and the dough automatically becomes lose after some time. Make balls out of it and roll them into round chapatti/paratha. Cook them on the griddle using minimum of ghee.
You can also add Amaranthus leaves (red/green) and jwar or bajra flour. Also oat meal can be added. It makes the parathas more crispier. Use minimum of ghee to avoid fat. Also these can be roasted over flame to make them rotis which taste good especially when served hot.
Serve these parathas/chapattis with curd or even tomato sauce as they have all the nutrition rolled together. Now no worry 

DD's Range of Wholesome Chapatis and Parathas

Dear Friends, here I have come with a range of chapatis and parathas which can serve as a wholesome food filled with proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins et al.
Kids generally do not like nutritious food, at least mine directly say, “Mamma we just love JUNK FOOD!” or “Mummy I HATE dal!” and sentences like these.
So, I came up with the idea of giving them all this in a wrap that they would enjoy.
In this section you will get various recipes, I’m sure that you have yours too. Cutlets, pasta, pulaw, macaroni, wrap whatever. So, why not share them with others through this page. Do post me your recipes and we shall add them in this blog under your name…..
