Innovative ways to increase protein levels in recipes for winter parathas, using Aashirvaad's High Fibre Atta with Multigrains as a base. In particular, recipes that combine ingredients are featured: soya-paneer mash, egg keema, sprouts blends, and lentil mixtures.
These protein-adding options for your miscellaneous paratha recipes also showcase how Aashirvaad's High-Fibre Atta with Multigrains improves your digestive system during the cold months, with added health benefits to go along with great taste and nostalgic appeal.
This mash stuffing is a perfect example of adding two high-protein food sources into one dish. It lightens up the paratha with the addition of well-cooked paneer and is easy to prepare. Simply crumble the paneer and mix with the soaked soya granules, then sauté in oil with onion and spices until the flavours meld. When used with Aashirvaad's High Fibre Atta with Multigrains to make your paratha dough, you will find that Aashirvaad's flour does not make the paratha heavier, but helps create a lighter feel than traditional flour mixes.
Are you also trying to figure out what to do with leftover moong dal khichdi? Mix the moong dal khichdi with the remaining yoghurt and ginger, and mix well. Now roll this mixture up inside your dough to create a fluffy, high-protein paratha. Because the dal is warm and nourishing, and the high-fibre flour provides a rich source of fibre, it makes for an excellent filling for the cold weather.
Combine slightly steamed, crushed sprouts (such as moong or matki) with coriander, green chillies, and lemon juice for a bright, crunchy filling that goes perfectly with the multigrain dough, which adds texture without breaking apart.
Winter mornings got you down? Scramble up some eggs with onion, garlic, capsicum, and pepper until just set. You can use this mixture to stuff your paratha. It cooks quickly and tastes fantastic. You will be pleased with the protein boost, mainly since Aashirvaad Multigrain Atta's high-fibre dough provides tons of structure for a strong paratha that won't tear apart!
Do you love to eat chole? Try mashing your chana with roasted besan, amchur, and kasuri methi instead. This filling is an excellent source of protein, and you will feel satisfied after eating it. It resembles a stuffed kulcha but without the guilt of eating one.
How about warm rajma mashed with garlic, chilli flakes, a pinch of garam masala, and a little cheese? Smoky, comforting, and also provides you with plenty of plant protein. You will be thankful for that touch of cheese, which brings everything together. Perfect for those lazy weekends when you want to indulge in something special but still feel good about yourself.
This filling may seem out of the box, but it equates to perfection. Combine toasted oats, roasted flaxseed powder, and hung curd with a teaspoon each of black pepper and ajwain, and spread the mixture inside the dough before cooking it on a low flame. The result is a delectable, soft, and creamy paratha filled with protein, fibre, and healthy fats—the ultimate winter breakfast that looks very fancy yet is extremely easy to make.
Winter is the time of year when we crave warm, carbohydrate-heavy foods; however, these recipes offer an excellent opportunity to combine them with protein and fibre. Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrain contains multiple grains in its formulation, which help provide long-lasting energy, improved digestion, and, most importantly, a taste easily recognised as traditional Indian flour.
These parathas will also hold up very well when reheated. For those who want to embrace a busy workweek but also want convenience and speed in starting the day, simply roll and refrigerate the dough, prep the fillings ahead, and breakfast will take no more than 5 minutes to prepare, instead of becoming a war every morning.
