#Rainbowweek7 - This is a healthy version of a paratha with the goodness of dates and whole wheat flour. Very easy and simple to make, it is completely sugar free. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, snack or as a lunch box meal too. I have added some sesame seeds for a slight crunch. But it is purely optional.

As dates contains many health benefits, it can be made good use of it by dishing out these shallow fried flat breads, Oil, ghee or butter may be used as per individual preference. Enjoy them hot just as it is, with a drizzle of some honey, date syrup or with some kheer / rabri.
