Aiming to have a balanced meal but running short of time or finding it inconvenient to carry it while travelling to work?

Let’s try making a recipe complete, balanced; healthy which is also tasty and convenient to carry.

• Whole wheat flour – 2 cups

• Pearl millet flour - 1 cup

• Bengal gram flour – ½ cup

• Roasted mixed seeds powder (fennel/flax/pumpkin/sesame/sunflower/hemp/chia/cucumber/muskmelon) – 2 tbsp

• Fenugreek leaves – 1 cup

• Coriander leaves – ½ cup

• Mint leaves – ½ cup

• Green chilli paste - as preferred

• Ginger paste – as preferred

• Pickle (to be mixed in the dough) – as preferred to bring flavour

• Rock salt – as required

• Curd (made from Indian cow’s milk) – 2-3 cups to bind the dough

• Filtered oil – as required for roasting
 

Mix all the ingredients using curd to bind it into a dough. Roll them out and roast with minimum oil to make Parathas.

Top 10 reasons as to how this recipe is complete, balanced and healthy.

1. Whole wheat and pearl millet - whole grain cereals - provide complex carbs, dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals.

2. Bengal gram - pulse - provides protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals.

3. The cereal-pulse combination ensures our body gets the right protein profile. Makes it complete.

4. Seeds - contain like omega-3, omega-6, lignans, essential amino acids making it a rich source of fibre, protein, healthy fats and antioxidants.

5. Greens leafy vegetables - fibre, vitamins and minerals.

6. Ginger - aids in digestion – medicinal properties.

7. Pickle – adds flavour – probiotic bacteria, vitamins, minerals.

8. Rock salt - contains 84 minerals.
