Bored of eating Kuttu ka Atta roti? Try these lip smacking vrat recipes

These recipes prepared using Kuttu ka Atta will definitely make you fall in love with this food ingredient.

New Delhi: Buckwheat, popularly known as kuttu ka atta in India, is often consumed during Navratri. Contrary to its name, it is not a wheat or grain but a fruit seed. This is why it is consumed during 9 days fasting. Needless to mention, regular grains like wheat and rice are not eaten during fasting. Thus, Kutta ka atta comes into the picture and people eat it in various forms.

You may not know that Kuttu ka atta contains all nine essential amino acids, which are often known as body's building blocks of protein. Its benefits are endless. It is not only rich in fiber but also has antioxidants along with magnesium. Moreover, it also helps in improving cardiovascular health and in regulating blood sugar.

Although there are many benefits, but Kuttu ka Atta is not loved by many. Reason? Well, people only consume during the fast by making a roti or parantha of kuttu ka atta. This probably is the reason that people get bored of it and are not really fond of this food item. But you do not need to worry.
