CARROT PARATHA

 Hello Friends, I am back after a long gap of 2 years.
I was busy in my office work, I apologize, This time there will be new recipes that I relish in preparing. Today I am preparing Carrot Paratha. My younger daughter doesn't  like carrots. School Principal insists us ie parents to sends carrots daily as they have regular Educomp classes. and they are in front of visual screen for long hrs.

Let me tell you some important facts about carrots,

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is transformed in the retina, to rhodopsin, a purple pigment necessary for night vision.


Studies have shown carrots reduce the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. Researchers have just discovered falcarinol and falcarindiol which they feel cause the anticancer properties.

Falcarinol is a natural pesticide produced by the carrot that protects its roots from fungal diseases. Carrots are one of the only common sources of this compound. A study showed 1/3 lower cancer risk by carrot-eating mice.



The high level of beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism.  It help slows down the aging of cells.

Vitamin A in carrots prevents premature wrinkling, acne , dry skin, etc. it also cleanse the body.

 As every one knows children are sometimes stubborn, my younger daughter refused  to eat Carrots. So I had to find a new way of  Serving her. Carrot paratha is the result of my effort. Now she eats without complaining.


I would like share recipe with you all.

INGREDIENTS;

Grated carrot   1cup
Salt
Red chilli Powder 1 tsp
Jeera Powder       1 tsp
Whole wheat atta  1 cup
Maida                   1 cup ( Optional ) As I am health conscious I do not use maida, you can take 2 cups of wheat flr instead of maida.

Mix all the above ingredients in wheat flr and prepare like a chapati dough. Cover and leave for 15 mins, Roll out like chapatis and fry with oil or ghee on hot tava. I like to use oil. While Serving Hot Carrot Parathas put 1 tsp of  ghee on the chapati, it will taste very good. Serve with Tomato sauce or any curry.

My children loves CARROT PARATHA with TOMATO SAUCE.
