Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

Moong dal is a good source of protein and dietary fiber which help to decrease high cholesterol. Couscous is a good source of dietary protein and our body relies on dietary protein  to support healthy skin, muscles, organs and other body tissues. Peas are low fat but high in protein, fiber and micronutrients. Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables, believed to fight cancer because of the sulfur-containing compound present in it.

It contains virtually no fats and also free from saturated and trans fatty acids. Adding paneer cubes increases the protein and calcium content and makes it a protein-rich meal.

Chana Dal And Soya Paratha

The stuffing of chana dal & soya granules is a good combination of taste & protein wrapped with the goodness of fiber from the multigrain flour. The serving of one paratha is good enough filling for an individual. It can be had with lunch, breakfast & even a snack item.
