Time is a major reason why we sacrifice our health. The canned foods that come in handy, that tomato sauce and that luscious looking chickpeas, the Buy Your Lunch Today and oh yes, the frozen processed foods is nothing but Health sacrificed at the altar of Time. High sodium, high cholesterol, Less nutrition.
Here is a recipe with quick method of cooking for school/office lunches and healthy too.
Why cabbage? Why not alu/potato parathas , which is so universally popular? Well. Because potato translates to sugar! The high carbohydrate/starch content of potatoes converts to sugar in the body thus elevating sugar levels in the body.Cabbage does not translate to sugar as much as potato.
For the dough:
1 cup atta or whole wheat flour
¼ cup jowar flour(BOTH ARE TYPES OF MILLETS)(if unavailable substitute with whole wheat flour)
¼ cup bajra flour (AVAILABLE AT ALL INDIAN STORES)(if unavailable substitute with whole wheat flour)
pinch salt
mix the above flours into a dough with hot water. Keep aside.
For the stuffing:
Chop cabbage finely. Mix with 4 teaspoons of water and microwave for 5 mins.
Mix with pinch of salt, chilli powder, cilantro leaves(kothmir).
Take A little bit of dough and roll into a disc .Place some stuffing in the center, bring round the edges to close and make a packet.
Dust with flour and roll lightly again. Bake on a hot griddle on both sides.. Touch with smearing of oil.
This is very quick to make. Chop the cabbage and nuke them in the microwave, and while the cabbage is cooking, make the dough. The whole grain millet flours used make this very nutritious and the hot water to knead makes it easy to digest
Variation: can add low fat paneer to this cabbage mixture and add diced green chillies.
