Palak Paratha and Mixed Vegetable

When I wake up on a Saturday / Sunday morning, all I can think of are the meals that I will cook for my family that are different from weeknite meals. So I end up cooking elaborate breakfasts and lunches.
I happened to stumble upon this combination that both my kid and husband enjoyed and is fir for brunch.... Its easy to make , nutritous and yummy.

Palak Paratha
Take 2 -2 2.5 cups of palak, blanche and grind with a green chilli, couple cloves of garlic and salt.
2 cups wheat flour
2 tbsps oils
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp haldi
1/2 - 3/4 tsp of sesame seeds

Make a dough of all the above and let it rest for 20 minutes
Roll out the dough balls into parathas, cook with a little oil on both sides.

Mixed Vegetable:
------------------
1 Big carrot, cut into chunks
1/2 medium cauliflower cut into chunks
10 - 12 red raddish split into half
1/4 cup lite sour cream
1.5 tomatoes crushed.
oil 1 tbsp, with hing, mustard seeds and kadipatta to taste.
1/4 tsp haldi
1/4 tsp chilli powder.
1 cup warm water.

Heat Oil, add mustard seeds, let them splutter, add hing and kadipatta in a pressure cooker. Add crushed tomatoes and cook them till they leave oil on the sides, then add haldi, chilli powder. Add vegetables and saute for a couple minutes. Then add sour cream, salt, water and give 2 whistles...

Serve hot with PArathas...Enjoy!
