Veg Keema (Soya Granules) Paratha

Veg Keema ( Soya Granules) Stuffed Paratha

Off  lately I have been making a lot of stuffed parathas...Thanks to my dear kiddo who doesn't eat rice and everyday demands for different options for his lunchbox .Being a mom of a choosy kid, one has to be very thoughtful as in what to make which is healthy as well as tasty.
      Soyabean is packed with full of proteins and is very healthy. To make this paratha soya chunks can be used but now a days you can find readymade soya granules which are easy for filling and don't need to grind. Serve them hot as it tastes good compared to the cold ones.
