About Me

I always enjoyed collecting recipes but never quite liked the idea of cooking on a daily basis. However things changed when my daughter was born 9 years ago. I was very keen on introducing her to healthy, wholesome yet delicious food. Thus began my journey to hunt and create recipes that were kid friendly.Having a hotel management degree did come quite handy. This collection of recipes will have absolutely minimal use of refined ingredients. I am constantly experimenting to substitute 'white' and processed products with wholegrain. I hope you will join me in this endeavor to ensure that our kids eat 'Healthy'.

Broccoli Egg Paratha

Broccoli is such a nutrition dense powerhouse and I've been trying various recipes to get Ovie to eat them but with no luck. Then I had this great idea to combine it with egg and it worked because anything with egg goes down easily with her. Today was 'wholewheat day' at playschool so I made a filling and stuffed it in a paratha!!Its a quick and easy recipe and yummy for kids and parents.

Ingredients: To make 4 parathas
For stuffing
Broccoli: 1 cup grated
Eggs: 2
Salt: to taste
Pepper Powder: to taste
Oil (Vegetable/Olive): 1 tsp

For Paratha
Wholewheat Flour: 1 cup
Salt: to taste
Curd/Yogurt: 1 tbsp
Water: as required
Ghee

1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add the grated broccoli.
2. Add salt and pepper and cook covered for a minute. Broccoli cooks fast.
3. Whisk the eggs in a seperate bowl with a little salt.
4. When the broccoli is done add the eggs and scramble it until eggs are cooked through. Check for seasoning.

5. For the paratha, take the wholewheat flour in a large bowl , add salt to taste, curd and mix it. Now slowly add water little at a time and knead it into a soft dough. Kneading and working the dough for a few more minutes makes really soft parathas.

6. Now make small parathas and stuff it with the broccoli-egg mixture and roll it thin.
7. Cook the parathas on a flat pan with a little ghee/ butter on either side.
8. Cut it into 6 wedges and serve it like a pizza with a healthy dip or sauce or curry.
