Sama chawal ke parathe recipe: A delicious fasting option
New Delhi: The holy month of Sawan has begun, and many people keep fast during this time. During fasting days, finding nutritious yet satisfying meal options can be a challenge. Sama ke Chawal ke Parathe (barnyard millet flatbreads) offer the perfect balance of taste, health, and tradition. Sama, also known as vrat ke chawal, is a gluten-free millet that resembles rice in texture but is much lighter on the stomach. It is rich in fibre, protein, and essential minerals, making it an ideal ingredient for fasting meals.
These parathas are typically made by combining sama flour with boiled potatoes, mild spices, and herbs to form a dough. Since the flour lacks gluten, binding can be tricky; however, the addition of potatoes helps create a smooth and pliable dough. When cooked on a hot griddle with ghee, these parathas become crisp on the outside........
