Once your kids have tasted this paratha, you will surprised to see rajma and spinach rise to the top of their favourite ingredients list! Indeed, this innovative Rajma Spinach Cheese Paratha is a scrumptious treat that your kids will love to the core, thanks to the punchy taste of capsicum, onions and tomatoes and the interesting mouth-feel of the beans and spinach.
Let’s not forget the appealing taste and texture of cheese, which makes this paratha a super-hit! A combination of protein and calcium-rich ingredients helps strengthen your kids’ bones, making this tasty treat a healthful one too. Just take care to limit the amount of oil used to cook these parathas in order to keep the health quotient on the higher side.
