FENUGREEK LEAF ROLLS

by Tina Basu
Rolls and wraps are fast food – they are unhealthy and packed with calories, cholesterol etc etc. But we can make it healthy, can’t we. I am making a very healthy quick roll/wrap with fenugreek leaves! Ain’t that interesting?

This is perfect for an evening snack or even the perfect wrap for your lunch box at work or for your kids.

Methi paranthas are a famaily favourite! I often pack it for my son's lunchbox and we also carry it during our travels! Very healthy and handy to make as well 🙂
