Breakfast in winter is all about parathas. Different paratha every day with a dollop of butter melting on top of hot paratha - even the thought of it make us salivate. The good old paratha tastes great any given day, but there's another reason parathas make a comeback on our morning menu during this time of the year - seasonal vegetables that are available in spades make for some mouthwatering parathas. No, we are not talking about mooli, though it is another one of our favourites. Here we are introducing you to a delicious green winter-special paratha made with bathua.
Bathua (Chenopodium Album) is available in north India during the winter season only, and we try to make use of its offerings as much as we can. The bright green leaves are packed with vitamins, especially vitamin A and vitamin C. The vegetable is rich in various antioxidants, making it excellent for our immunity-boosting diet. Considering its high fibre content, it also helps sooth digestion, which is quite helpful this time as our physical activity is low and our diet turns heavy and rich. So, here we share an easy recipe of bathua paratha that also has some potatoes in it for enhanced taste.
