Cabbage parata

Cabbage is a vegetable  very few people really appreciate, but it's truly a dieter's friend. I really enjoy this vegetable in certain dishes like coleslaw ,soups,fried rice and Chinese stir fries or simple thoran or konkani style Upkari..Green cabbage has a respectable amount of vitamin C;.
Today i am here with one such interesting recipe of parata using cabbage as the main ingredient.. i really prefer to have paratas in my breakfast.As breakfast gives you a chance to start each day with a healthy and nutritious meal. It also lays the foundation for lifelong health benefits.When you eat a healthy breakfast, you're more likely to eat more vitamins and minerals and better concentration and productivity throughout the morning.
