This post is an Independence Day Special.
This is our 70th Independence Day.
In Our Indian flag, Saffron color indicates the strength and courage of the country, white denotes peace and green denotes auspiciousness and growth of the country, and th dharma chakra indicates truth.
OMG!!!! Can so many vegetables go into a paratha???
Carrots.....rich in beta-carotene and bone health, anti-oxidants, improve vision, increase cardio-vascular health, improve digestion, detoxify body and improve oral health. So, let us call this the
Saffron color.
Cauliflowers....low in calorie but high in fiber and Vitamins, prevent constipation, maintain a healthy digestive track, help with sleep and memory......the white color.
Broccoli....prevents Cancer, reduces cholesterol, reduces allergy reaction and inflammation, takes care of heart and bone health, and keeps our body less acidic.....the green color.
And here, our Dharma chakra is comprised of ginger and green chillies.
Please have a look at my other Rotis and stuffed parathas.
Please check my Glossary for any unknown terms.
