Kuttu Aloo Cheela- A delicious low fat Buckwheat and potato pancake- Fasting Recipe

Kuttu Aloo Cheela is healthy Gluten free breakfast/ lunch recipe . You can have this as a any time healthy snack or use this during any religious fast or celebration. Its very healthy and filling recipe. During fast most often we make poori and pakora’s but this can be made with few drops of oil or ghee and if you make on a nonstick pan then easily make it oil free too.

During Navratri, Janmashtami, Ekadashi and other religious fast we use singhoda, rajgiri, sabudana, samo and buckwheat to make snacks and main course recipe. All these millets, seeds and grains are very healthy and most of them are protein and calcium rich as well as gluten free. So we have to include them often in our regular meal, no need to limit these only for fasting days.

Buckwheat is actually a seed with the properties of a grain. It is heart healthy and considered as a super food. Rich in protein, Magnesium , fiber ,calcium, Iron and loaded with antioxidants. It is also diabetic friendly thus mange the blood sugar levels.
