Health Benefits of Tofu Burji and the Laccha Paratha
The two main ingredients that go into making this recipe, the ingredients without which the recipe wouldn’t exist are Tofu and wheat. Now, Tofu is packed with a lot of nutrients. Tofu is one of the best plant sources of protein with a low amount of fat. It is also incredibly rich in essential amino acids and also contains iron, calcium, manganese and phosphorus. Moreover, it also contains magnesium, copper and zinc in smaller amounts. Now, Laccha Paratha is traditionally made out of maida but in this recipe, we have substituted it with its healthier alternative- Atta or whole wheat. Whole wheat contains powerful antioxidants that help support your immune system and is also a rich source of folic acid that helps in keeping the cells in our body healthy.
