Stuffed broccoli fenugreek leaves Paratha|
Posted in : INDIAN FLAT BREAD| PARATHA| PARANTHA| on by : Divya Suresh Tags: BREAKFAST, broccoli paratha, diabetic friendly, fenugreek leaves paratha, healthy, home made, nutritious
The name itself says that, mainly I have used Broccoli and fenugreek leaves (methi leaves) in this recipe. But it also includes one more healthy twist and that is chopped methi/fenugreek leaves is combined with the flour as well while kneading the dough.
This is a nutritious, tasty and very filling food and can be eaten for breakfast or lunch or brunch. This time I have also put Potato in a small quantity along with broccoli & methi for binding purpose. But otherwise I always put flax gel (powdered flax seeds stirred in how water) and powdered oats, which in turn helps me in binding
The feeling will be always fantastic when we feed our family with these kind of healthy nutritious food. And my intention is also about feeding my family and letting you people as well know about healthiest, nutritious food recipes
