32 MIXED VEGETABLE KURMA WITH SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Mixed Vegetable Kurma / Green Kurma using Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower,then dehulled, the edible remainder is called the sunflower kernel.Sunflower seeds are more commonly eaten as a healthy snack than as part of a meal. They can also be used as garnishes or ingredients in various recipes. sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fiber,linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid) some amino acids (especially tryptophan), Vitamin E, B Vitamins (especially vitamin B1 or thiamine, vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid and folate), and minerals such as copper, manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and zinc. Additionally, they are rich in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols.(Source wikipedia)


Wondering how to use Sunflower seeds or need more fibre in your daily diet, then do try out this Vegetable Kurma using Sunflower seeds. You can never know the difference and it also tastes too good that would make you use the seeds in many other gravies.
