When i was on a diet i was looking for options to skip roti/chapati but i wanted something which uses very less oil , is quick and also benefits my system. I tumbled through this idea.
So ever wondered or confused about with what to replace chapati/roti when you are on a diet or may be sometimes don't feel like eating. Here i have something really nutritious for you which is also quick..
ALL YOU NEED IS
- Lal masoor dal - 1/2 cup
- Chana dal - 1 cup
- White rice - 1/2 cup
- Chilka moong dal -1cup
- Ginger - 2tbsp(chopped) including
- Melon seeds -2 tsp
- Flax seeds - 2tsp
- Red chillies - 2
Soak only the pulses in water till they get swollen for about 7 -8 hrs. Once they are swollen enough grind all the ingredients including ginger, melon seeds and flax seeds and red chillies in a mixer with the help of soaked water.(Don't throw the water in which the pulses were soaked) .The batter should not be very thick, it should be in a consistency enough so as to spread the batter easily on a pan.
Once grinded and done pour the batter in a bowl.
You can even store it in the refrigerator but if you want to make it instantly after grinding then take 1 tsp of ghee on a non stick pan and spread the batter like it is done for a dosa(thin crust).
cook it from both the sides and it is done.
You can have it with any vegetable ... OR make a roll fill it with some tasty filling, wrap it with a silver foil and give it to your children!!
