This is the favourite dish of my family for breakfast. Very easily prepared , and the ingredients are also almost all the time available at home. its a complete food with all the nutrients....protein( gram flour) and vitamins (vegetables). Ingredients:----- Gram flour( besan ) 250 gm. 1 carrot grated 1 radish grated a bunch of spinach leaves chopped finely. 2 green chilli finely chopped. salt to taste. oil to saute or shallow fry make a thick batter of gram flour adding water. Add al the ingredients..now it must be of flowing consistency. Now heat a tawa or pan. Spread 1 tsp. oil and spread 2 tbsp. batter at a time . shallow fry it just like Dosa , but both the sides. Enjoy it with curd and chatney . As a variation you may add any other vegetable also, like cabbage, onions.

This is a very healthy breakfast for me and I like it also, almost no oil is used and it has lots of vegetables. and not much cooking even. Ingredients:----- 1cup broken wheat 250 gm cabbage..julienned 1small capsicum..julienned 1 carrot grated 1 tsp. oil 1tsp. mustard seeds. 1/2 tsp. turmeric 1/2 tsp salt or as you like it 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts. Green chilli (optional) coriander leaves..finely chopped for garnishing. Dry roast the broken wheat, till it is golden. In a pan put oil, and when it is hot add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add all the vegetables. saute them for 5-8 minutes, till they get shiny or loose water. Keep them aside. Now cook the broken wheat with 2 cup water, turmeric and salt, slow the fire and cook till all the water is absorbed. Mix the vegetables in this. Now while serving spread some peanuts and then sprinkle lemon. TIPS:.....even you can roast the wheat in microwave also, you will have to stir it once or twice. Some people add tomatoe
