Cucumbers are low in calories,carbs, sodium, fat and cholesterol.  When we eat any parantha we consume lots of calories only in the stuffing of parantha.  Here I have made cucumber sandwich parantha, very low calories in its stuffing but no compromise with its taste.  Here below is its full recipe details:

1 tbsp of finely chopped ginger
2 tbsp of finely chopped onion
1/4 cups of finely chopped cilantro/drumstick leaves
salt to taste
1 finely chopped green chili
1 tbsp of coriander powder
1 tsp of garam masala
Method
1.  Wash, and grate the big cucumber with greater which has big holes. Squeeze the  grated cucumber with hand or  take this grated cucumber in a cloth and squeeze it both hands just like we squeeze clothes.  There should not be left any water. Save this water in a bowl and use for kneading the dough.
2.  Take the wheat flour in a bowl and knead a soft dough with water+the squeezed water.  Keep if for rest for 10 minutes.
3.  Now add all the ingredients  to the grated and squeezed cucumber. Mix well.
4. Knead the dough again for few minutes till smooth.
5. Heat the tava or non stick pan.
6.  Make  very small two balls out of the dough and roll very thin rotis with the help of dry flour.
7.  Now spread evenly handful of cucumber mixture on one roti and sandwitch it by covering it with another rolled roti. Stick the edges by pressing with fingers.  Now roll it with very light hand.

Tori/turai/gilki is a healthy vegetable but many of us don't like to eat it, specially kids. Generally we make its sabzi. I have made it with slightly variation in its chopping. Here below is full recipe of its bhartha/bhurtha:
 Ingredients:

1 small tomato for garnishing
Method
1. Peel the torai and cut it roughly in big chunks and then chop it very finely in vegetable chopper. For this, see the photo collage below.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Though I have written 5 tablespoon of oil, but in 1 tbsp of oil it can be made too.  Add hing and cumin seeds and let it crackle till it stops itself.  Now put bay leaves, cloves and  cinnamon stick and stir. Putting bay leaves,cloves and cinnaman stick is optional.  
3.  Add finely chopped onion and ginger and make it translucent  or very light brown.
4.  Now add tomatoes paste, turmeric, salt, red chili powder and coriander powder and cook it till oil separates.

Momos/dimsum/wanton is a very healthy snack.  It is made in Nepal, Bhutan and china etc. It has become street food in India. It is eaten steamed or fried with very spicy chutney.  Here below is its full recipe:
Ingredients
2 cups of all purpose flour/maida
1/2 tsp of salt
2/3 cup of water
4 cups of finely chopped cabbage
1.5 cups of grated pumpkin or carrot
1 cup finely chopped green onion leaves
1 finely chopped onion
1 tsp of grated ginger
1/2 cup of finely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of grated cottage cheese or tofu (optional)
1 tsp of sugar salt to taste
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1 tsp of dark soy sauce
1 tsp of black pepper powder
2 tbsp of oil
Method
1. Take maida/All Perpose Flour and salt in a  big bowl.  Make a soft dough with 2/3 cup of water.  This much water is sufficient for 2 cups of maida. Smooth it with little bit or generously greasy hands.  Now keep it rest for 10 minutes covering with wet cloth.  On wet cloth
2.  Finely chop the cabbage in vegetable chopper.  Grate the pumpkin or carrot. Finely chop the spring onion leaves with knife. Spring onion white bulb and onion can be chopped in chopper too.
3.  Take the chopped cabbage, ginger and pumpkin/carrot in a cloth and squeeze out all the water from it.

4.  Take 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Add onion and cook it for few minutes till translucent. After that add cabbage and pumpkin or carrot. Next add salt, sugar, black pepper powder and both the soy sauces and stir well. Flame should be high. Dry the water while stirring. Remove from heat.  Now add green onion leaves and cilantro and mix. Stuffing is ready.
5. Divide the dough into 25 pieces.  If making bite size, then divide it into 45 to 50 pieces.  Now make the balls out of it by rounding between both the palms.
6.  Now roll one ball and stuff the 1.5 spoons of vegetables while making its pleats. Make it any shape. Roll and stuff all the dough balls like wise. 
7.  Next boil the water in rice cooker or any other pot.  Put the momos/ dimsum on a greased steam basket with little distance.  Keep it on the boiling water in rice cooker and close the lid.
8.  Steam it for 6-7 minutes till transparent. After steaming let it cool completely so that we can fry it.
9. Heat oil in a frying pan/karahi.  Fry all the steam momos in medium hot oil.
10. Fried momos/dimsum are ready to serve. These are served very hot.
Tips
1. Vegetables can be used of one's choice.  Generally cabbage and carrot are used.  But here I have used pumpkin. 
2. It can be steamed in any pot  e.g pressure cooker, rice cooker steamer etc.  Here I have steamed in steam basket on rice cooker.  It can be kept on momos plate on a rack.  Momos plate is a plate with holes.
3.  If making it in advance, Keep it in a tray and cover it with slightly wet cloth then wrap the tray with cling film. Then cover with any other big tray. Keep it in the refrigerator.  Fry in medium hot oil till crisp.
Enjoy Healthy cooking!!!

It is said that it is good to eat broccoli raw as cooking destroys some of its antioxidants.  It has vitamin C, calcium, anti cancer and anti viral properties. I have made its parantha.  Hereafter is its full recipe:
Ingredients
1 small size broccoli
1 small onion
1 fresh green chili
salt to taste
1 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of coriander powder
handful of chopped cilantro
2 cups of wheat flour
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of flour for rolling
oil
Method
1.  Wash and cut broccoli in small florets.  Soak in warm salty water for 10 minutes. Next clean it very carefully to make it worm free.
2. Now take out from water and keep it in any sieve to remove extra moisture for few minutes.
3. Next take broccoli florets in vegetable chopper or in small zar of mixer and pulse it 5-6 times or grate it with grater box.  If doing it in mixer zar, take few pieces at a time. Pulse it the remaining florets similarly. Now take this mixture in a clean cloth and squeeze its water completely. 
4. Peel the onion and ginger.  Now cut roughly chili, ginger and onion. Again pulse them for 4-5 times. 
or
Cut finely onion and ginger with hand if not very good in rolling the stuffed parantha. As done in the mixer zar on pulse contains little bit moisture.
5.  Now mix the broccoli, onion, chili and ginger mixture together. Add salt, coriander powder and garam masala just before we start making parantha.
6. Take the wheat flour in a big bowl and make a soft dough with 1 cup of water.Use squeezed water of broccoli to knead it.  If not sufficient take more normal water.  Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
7.  Now make four balls out of the dough.
8.  Roll it with rolling pin just like roti in round shape.  Put handful of stuffing on it and gather from all sides and make flat ball of it.
9.  Now  roll this stuffed flat ball into the dry flour and slightly press it with hands and then roll it with rolling pin on wooden surface/chakla with very light hand.
10.  Place this stuffed and rolled parantha on the heated tava,/pan etc.  when one side seems dry turn it to the other side.
11.  After that apply oil to both sides and cook it till crisp.
12.  Delectable broccoli parantha/purontha is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy cooking!!!
