You are sure to have used khus-khus, a reservoir of iron and zinc, in sweets, kheers and gravies too, but have you ever tried using this wonderful ingredient as a rich filling for parathas? Khus-khus ke Parathe features an aromatic and spicy stuffing of poppy seeds, whole spices and ginger packed inside a nutritious dough of whole wheat flour enhanced with wheat germ. Although almost all the spices in your masala dabba are found in this preparation, the accents of kalonji dominate both the dough and the stuffing in a way that excites the taste buds.
