Breakfast special: Start your day with this delicious paratha
03 March, 2022
Possibly among the most popular breakfast options in the country, stuffed parathas (flatbreads) are a delicious treat.
Breakfast is considered one of the most important meals of the day. As such, it is advisable to have a healthy meal every morning. So, how about kick-starting the day with one of the most popular breakfast options in the country — stuffed parathas.
Made with vegetables such as radish, cauliflower, green peas, spinach, bathua etc, stuffed parathas are then roasted with plenty of ghee till they reach their signature crispness on the outside and soft on the inside texture.
As such, when Chef Saransh Goila took to Instagram to share what his breakfast looked like, we just could not help but crave for ‘mooli ke parathe’ or flatbread stuffed with radish. Take a look at the chef’s perfectly made parathas below:
Radishes or mooli feature in many dishes across India during the winter season. A white root vegetable with a sharp taste and crunchy texture, radishes contain essential vitamins such as C, B6, and also calcium, according to WebMD. They are also low on carbohydrates and hence, a good option for those who are monitoring their sugar or carbohydrate intake.
As such, to make this at home by yourself, try this delicious recipe from Chef Sanjeev Kapoor. Take a look at the video here:
