Red pumpkin and spinach – what a brilliant twosome! A lesson in contrasts, the two are different in everything from colour and texture to flavour, yet they complement each other beautifully, especially in this wonderful kaddu palak ki roti.

The best part is that this kaddu paratha is also very easy to make because all the ingredients are mixed into the dough, and you do not have to bother about stuffing and rolling like in the case of parathas.

The spinach and the pumpkin also hydrate the dough well, resulting in soft, pliable roti, which everybody will love. This healthy pumpkin roti lends appreciable amounts of vitamin A from pumpkin. This vitamin helps in achieving a healthy skin and promotes good vision. The spinach, on the other hand, is a source of iron and folic acid which helps to boost RBC (red blood cells) and prevent anaemia. Further, the use of whole wheat flour enhances the fibre count of this roti.

Tips for kaddu roti. 1. Use very little water to make the dough as kaddu will release some water resulting in too much water in the dough. We used 1 to 1½ tablespoons of water. 2. Take care to cook the rotis well so that the raw smell of the veggies totally vanishes, giving way to the most irresistible aroma! 3. Palak can be replaced with chopped methi leaves.

what is kaddu?

    what is kaddu?
  1. This is what kaddu looks like. Red pumpkin or Lal bhopla is poor man's source of carotene in India. Other sources (like apples, carrots) normally happen to be rather expensive when not in the peak of season. Red pumpkin, however, is 'in season' throughout the year unlike in the Western countries, where it is typically an autumn appearance.  We are just beginning to discover the wealth of nourishment supplied by the mildly sweet flavored and finely textured red pumpkin.
  2. Pumpkin is low in calories. Pumpkin is an ingredient which has a super decent major nutrient profile. Despite being high in nutrients, it is low in calories (31 calories per cup), carbs (5.7 g per cup) and fat (1.75 g per cup) and should not be missed out by anyone who aims to maintain or lose weight
  3.   Can Pumpkin Improve Eyesight? Vitamin AVitamin CVitamin Eomega 3 fatty acidszincprotein and other antioxidants are key nutrients that work towards keeping your eyesight keen as you age. A basketful of fruits and vegetables are always by most dietitians to make up for these nutrients. Pumpkin is also one amongst them, which is rich in 3 of these nutrients. A cup of pumpkin cubes fulfils your day’s requirement of vitamin A (5526 mcg), thus making it a super food for your eyes. See 7 benefits of kaddu.
