  • Healthy Swap. – Most of us, already know that whole wheat pasta or semolina (suji) pasta is the most nutritious pasta available. It would be an easy and worthwhile swap to your regular refinder flour (or maida) pasta you get in market.
  • Quality Matters. – Each brand may have different quality, some cheaper varients may fall apart while cooking. Also not all brands of whole wheat pasta may taste equally delicious. So, if you’ have ever tried whole wheat pasta, haven’t loved it and given up. I would suggest you to try another brand!

    I always prefer try color pasta or pasta having vegetable extract and not just semolina or maida. Since you have added chhole, try grinding some chhole with the puree. it gives a thick texture and also make it filling for kids who don’t like to chhole as it is.
