Egg Paneer Roll is one of my favorite recipes. While i am personally not much of an egg fan my kids used to have eggs. Egg rolls were a quick and tasty way to get nutrition into children. Eggs are rich is proteins , the filling we can ensure is full of veggies and the wrap is whole grain wheat. Its literally an explosive package of health nutrition in one go. Proteins, Carbohydrates,Vitamins and Fiber !

Having spent a lot of time in West Bengal a state in the eastern side of India. Egg Rolls are one of the most popular snacks in the state. You can get a variety of rolls even in the smallest of vending shops. Today let me show you a Egg-Vegetable-Tofu roll.

Tips

I have used potatoes and paneer – cottage cheese to make the fillings , one can easily use green veggies to make it healthier, Alternatively one can also use meat and other animal proteins in case their diet supports the same.

I use homemade Roti (indian flatbread) to wrap the roll. You can also use ready made tortillas that you pick up in the super market.

I have used mustard oil to cook this recipe to ensure the traditional Bengali flavor for the rolls. However you can use the fat of your choice.

The plant from heaven is how Aloe Vera is described in many of the texts. These days it seems Aloe Vera is every where. From face creams to lubes to medicines for almost all kind of skin ailments and health diets. Aloe Vera finds a presence. Its also heavily used in Ayurveda for a variety of medicines.

So whats with this plant. So as someone who grows aloe vera at home and has found significant use cases for this plant let me enumerate the many benefits.

Aloe Vera is primarily a succulent plant that was native to the middle Asian parts of the world. Today however its found almost everywhere. Its grown commercially and can be grown as a n indoor decorative plant. I highly recommend this practice as this will ensure you have a ready supply of the fresh gel whenever you want. Apparently the scientific evidence on this plants healing properties are suspect and yet from time memorial it has been used for all kinds of skin ailments. While i have great faith in the scientific establishments in this case i have decided to go with tradition.

Aloe Vera has topical uses as well healing properties when ingested. While I would not recommend simply ingesting fresh gel since there could be allergies in the person. Also NOT all species of Aloe Vera is medicinal. So it helps to do some research before ingesting.
