Hummus Paratha

Giving the kids a healthy and tasty lunch is always a challenge, particularly if the kid is a picky eater like my son. His habits make me explore and invent crazy recipes which most of the times turns out good ☺.

That said I had a big tub of organic hummus in the fridge looking at me and making me feel guilty that I'm not using it..

When I gave my son hummus on Bread he gave me a disapproving look. Then I thought that  I will somehow make him eat this (by hook or crook).

I chose crook ☺.

So finally I made this simple yet nutritious recipe, multigrain Hummus paratha. With the goodness of carbs from multigrain Atta, protein and fiber from hummus, vegetable (pepper) what would be a better lunch idea than this (I still have lots of lunch ideas though ☺). 

The result: My son ate his portion of lunch without any complaint. Kid approved and Husband appreciated.

Nutrition:For those who do not know what's Hummus is- It is a Spread/ Dip made from mashed chick peas (garbanzo beans), tahini, olive oil and few other spices. It is high in protein, fibre, good fats to say the least. I will soon be posting more hummus recipes.
