Methi mushroom masala Bulgur
About:
Fenugreek leaves and mushroom bulgur/cracked wheat is a simple yet stunning rice recipe. The fenugreek leaves highlights the earthiness of mushrooms. In this recipe I haven’t used any whole garam masalas so garlic flavour and nutty taste of flaxseed is enhanced. Spices can be personalised as per the taste.
Bulgur wheat makes a healthy and quick addition to any meal as its whole wheat and is specially prepared to lessen the cooking time. It is good source of fiber, protein.
Flaxseed (Linseeds) are rich source of micronutrients, dietary fiber. It is rich in omega-3. As per research flaxseed may help to lower the cholesterol level. Most nutrition experts recommend ground over whole flaxseed as the ground form is easier for your body to digest.
This can be enjoyed for breakfast and good to go for packed lunch as well.
