Wheat forms such an important role in my kitchen. I use wheat every single day in one form or the other, either on its own or as an addition. When dear Curry Leaf informed me of the event, I was excited to know that Wheat was the highlight of the next JFI theme. Roma kindly informed me that I can send multiple entries and here’s some of them.

I have only listed where Wheat is at its full glory without the addition of all purpose flour. Thanks Roma.

Nothing like having a wholesome meal of Dill Roti’s which is healthy as well as light. The wonder of this roti is that, although not heavy, it satisfies your hunger and does not make you hungry in 2 hours! A chinese meal it sure is not! ( I always feel hungry in exactly 2 hours after a chinese meal!!!)

Wholegrains are always a boon! I call them Nature’s blessing/gifts to us. They are versatile and one need not do elaborate preparations to add them in our day to day food. This Barley Roti is an example of the same

The beauty of this Sweet Potato Roti is such that you wouldnt feel like eating them! Well that beats the whole purpose you ask! I know! But well, it is hard but the taste matches its looks if not better. Delightfully moist with the addition of sweet potatoes enriching it with nutrition of the vegetable as well as the wheat grain.

Just like wheat, Oats is a staple in my pantry and this combination of the two ingredients to make Oats Roti is not only wholesome but immensely healthy as well. Wholegrain benefits at its full force.

This wholemeal cranberry and almond bread is a winner in more ways than one. Wholegrain – Check, Fruits – Check, Nuts – Check, Fat – Uncheck! Honey adds the sweetness to it. The wheat flour and the wheat germ give the bread its wholegrain nutrition, Cranberry, Orange and Raisins team together to represent the fruit and Almond makes up for the nuts. Thats almost one whole day’s nutrition – isnt it?

While I love yeasted breads, busy schedules often prevents from making them as often as I would like to. That way, quick breads like this Persimmon Walnut Bread help me to fight the snack monster which attacks me with full vengeance during the evenings. It is filled with the goodness of persimmon and whole wheat flour filling me up without making me lose track of my calories for the day! ( believe me! A foodie that I am, I have to keep track!!!!)

Its good to indulge sometimes…at least u have to eat this wholegrain Milk and Cheese Bread. It tastes absolutely heavenly with nice bowl of warm vegetable soup and oh well! Its not a complete loss either. You get the calcium and protein from the dairy ingredients in there and also nutrition from wheat! Thats some indulgence – dont you think?

Another favorite snack recipe of mine is this Wholemeal Banana and Nut muffins. I love the combination of Banana and Walnuts. They compliment each other so well and along with the wheat flour become a nutritious trio

Wheat berries are a boon and so versatile. For those not so familiar about what they are, my Wheat Berries 101 should be of some help.

Special thanks to Roma for the event.
