Besan Methi Paratha

              Now that school has started me and other moms like me keep worrying about our kid's food. we as mothers try to provide healthy and nutritious food as much as possible. I Strongly believe that the eating habits children pick up when they are young will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle when they grow up. My son, his food choices aren't that bad. he has his own favorite veggies and fruits. He loves bread of any sort. Roti, stuffed paratha, Kulcha, Naan, Pita, french bread everything.

               So I try to make different variety of breads. Here is something which is healthy, nutritious and very easy to make as well. You can serve these with plain yogurt.

• Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll each one dusting atta into 3" roti.
