Kids love pizzas, the best way to make them eat healthy food is to make it home with healthy ingredients. Whole wheat flour in place of all purpose flour/ maida. Next adding the veggies kids normally don't eat, the best way is to stuff them in the home-made pizza paranthas.
The veggies choice is yours- capsicum chopped, grated carrot, olives chopped, sweet corn, some finely chopped palak/ spinach leaves, coriander leaves, grated paneer/ cottage cheese, grated Mozzarella cheese. I prefer to use chopped green chilies, as it contains Vitamin C, fiber. You can use those green chilies not spicy, or remove the seeds and chop OR add little chili pdr.
Ingredients
whole wheat flour as needed to make dough
capsicum finely chopped as needed
sweet corn kernels as needed
coriander leaves finely chopped 2 tbsp
green chilies chopped to taste OR chili pdr to taste
grated carrots as needed
olives- green n black finely chopped
spinach leaves finely chopped 1-2 tbsp
grated paneer/ cottage cheese as needed
salt to taste
Mozzarella cheese as needed
ghee to cook the parantha- pizzas
Method
knead the wheat flour like you normally do for parantha with little oil and salt, cover and rest while you prepare the veggies.
Mix all the veggies, with paneer, coriander leaves, cheese well.
roll out the roti about 5" in diameter roughly, roll the 2nd one to the same size.
The trick of making it is put the rolled roti over a big katori / bowl smaller than the size of the roti.
Put enough stuffings in the roti, cover with the 2nd roti, press the sides well
then invert it on the board/ kitchen top, press with the bowl so it gets cut into a round shape.
remove the excess dough and add to the remaining dough to make more in the same way.
Now heat a tawa/ pan . Once hot, reduce heat to medium, smear some ghee and put the small pizza-parantha carefully to cook. Once the bottom turns brown, flip over, lightly press the other side to cook well, adding more ghee if needed to get it crisp.
This will be a sure hit with your kids, when you can be 100 % sure that thy'ld eat their lunch in school and return happily, asking if they can have some more pizza-parantha at home !
