About Steamed Grains - Veg Baskets
Steamed Grains - Veg Baskets recipe is my mother's brainchild. It is a healthy and gluten free food. The white chickpea and the grains used in this recipe have wide health benefits. These Steamed Grains Veg Baskets are loaded with fiber and proteins that are required for a balanced diet. Steamed food retains the taste and the nutritional value that is extremely good for children. The appearance of these baskets would snatch the attention of the kids 🙂
