Are you looking for interesting ways to have noodles? Do you worry a lot about your weight put on because of having traditional Maggi or any other Maida-made noodles? If yes, you will be happy to know two of the unique ways to have noodles and that too Atta noodles instead of their Maida counterparts. As we have chosen 0% Maida in any way, you should categorize both of them as tasty and healthy recipes. 


Atta Noodles Vegetable Cutlet

As the name highlights, here we have used Atta Noodles (of any brand but Patanjali is preferable), green veggies of your own choice to prepare the cutlet. In addition, similar to our other recipes, we have used the combination of jowar i.e. sorghum flour, corn flour and gram flour (popularly known as besan) in preparation of the mentioned snack recipe.

Strong reason for this is that as a fresh and a green leafy vegetable, it gives tons of nutritional benefits with low amount of calories and fat. However, as the nature of a human being, he or she gives priority to taste rather than overall health while choosing any food item, including the mentioned green veggie i.e. cabbage. 




Thus, in order to give a perfect blend between excellent taste and good health, we have introduced a few tasty and healthy recipes prepared with cabbage in combination with some other veggies in small amounts. In addition, to meet the objective of diet-friendly recipe or gluten-free recipe, we have used sorghum i.e. jowar flour and gram flour i.e. besan instead of Maida. These include the following-

Preparation of Dough

To prepare the dough, you have to mix the stuffing with sorghum and gram flours with a pinch of salt and 1tablespoon of oil.

Preparation of Rolls or Cutlets
