Nutrition Packed Paranthas

These nutrition packed paranthas are my innovation which pack loads of vegetables into a parantha and make it a healthy option!

Ojas, these days is in a state where he wants to eat everything on his own, so I am trying to innovate foods which he can eat on his own. At the top of the list are paranthas. These nutrition packed paranthas are the one dish which I created and everyone loved.

Nutrition Packed Paranthas

Honestly, there is nothing to beat the awesomeness of paranthas. You can add so much to it! Vegetables, leafy vegetables, millet flours, oats, soya flour, you name it and you can add it in and put in some spices, and voila! you have a dish which everyone will love. And the great thing about these paranthas is that you can just serve them with some sauce or pickles and a bowl of curd, and it is a whole balanced meal in itself. I personally think there are very few dishes which offer as much warmth and love as a hot parantha off the tawa with a dollop of butter on it!

Whether it is finger food for toddlers or lunch box options, paranthas are pretty much a favorite for most people. My fondest memories are those of my mom serving us hot paranthas off the tawa on a warm winter evening. And my love for paranthas is pretty evident if you see the number of parantha recipes I have on my blog. Cheesy ones, vegetable ones, green leafy vegetables ones, stuffed ones and even avocado ones 😉 I make them all.

While I do love my kulchas and naans (especially the ones which you get by the street side and dhabas in Delhi), I have a special affinity towards paranthas. They just spell H-O-M-E for me!

So try these nutrition packed paranthas today and see how they disappear from the table in no time 🙂
