Moong Dal Paratha / Healthy breakfast menu
Moong Dal Paratha is another healthy & popular flatbread of Indian cuisine..!!
Among the stuffed parathas, moong paratha is something different & is much healthier coz of its protein value. In this recipe, the moong dal is steamed & sautéed in mild spices, then combined with wheat flour & kneaded together to smooth dough.
This paratha tastes awesome & we can enjoy it for breakfast or for dinner with plain curd & any curry as side dish. It makes a complete meal in itself...!
