A great day starts with a great breakfast. Eating a healthy and filling breakfast is the key to an active and energetic start. However, healthy and tasty doesn’t always go well together. This recipe tries to bridge this gap.
While Paratha is a very common breakfast item in Indian households it doesn’t have any significant health benefits and use of oil or Ghee may lead to saturated fat.In this breakfast recipe, we try to leverage the ease of making along with the established fanbase of paratha while adding some healthy ingredients like Avocado and multigrain atta (made from whole grain) to it. Limiting the use of oil (preferably Olive oil) reduces the intake of bad cholesterol.
Avocado is renowned for its richness in vitamins like B-6, C, E and K. It is also a good source of riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. It also contains lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados are full of healthy, useful fats that keep you full and satiated. The delicious healthy monounsaturated fat in the avocado supports its claim of being a super healthy fruit.
So, are you ready to kick-start your day with an unconventional but healthy breakfast? Continue reading for the detailed recipe.
