Zunaka in Sprouted Grain Pocket- A meal in under 15 minutes!

A modern take on the classic Zunaka Bhakri makes for a healthy, scrumptious, quick and easy weeknight meal.

Zunaka in Sprouted Grain Pocket- A meal in under 15 minutes!
Broccoli Zunaka Pocket-A healthy meal.

Zunaka bhakri is the absolute robust, down to earth, tasty food of Maharashtra, India. The protein rich, gluten free Zunaka is made with greens and besan (chick pea flour).Bhakri is a flat tortilla like bread made typically of freshly ground jowar flour, which is not available here.

Sprouted grain pitas reminded me of the wholesome bhakri. So I decided to try them with the 7 minute Broccoli Zunaka! The healthy broccoli that is so tender crisp in this recipe, makes it moreish. Zunaka in Sprouted Grain Pocket is a healthy, scrumptious and wholesome meal that reminded me of enjoying warm and toasty bhakri with zunaka and its accompaniments.  I served it with spicy garlic chutney, crunchy fresh onions and radishes and dahi kanda, all yummy compliments to the zunaka bhakri.

Dahi kanda is sliced onion combined with yogurt, a touch of salt, sugar (if the yogurt is sour) and cilantro. Get the recipe for  Indfused’s protein rich, healthy, 7 minute Broccoli Zunaka here.

Toast the pitas, cut in half and stuff with the Broccoli Zunaka, add let everyone add their own accompaniments!

And enjoy this quick and easy, healthy, protein rich, wholesome meal any day of the week!

Wishing you all a happy weekend. This week, Fiesta Friday is co-hosted by  Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes and Sandhya @ Indfused ….that’s me! Join us at the party !

  2. So fresh, colorful and oh so healthy Sandhya. Would love to dunk those pockets in a nice spicy chutney and down it with a nice cup of chai. 🙂 Have you challenged Rachel Ray yet? Indfused’s recipes can be done in 15 minutes, she boasts that hers are done in 30 minutes. :)) Yay Sandhya, yours are quicker and more flavorful!
