MUTIGRAIN-VAZHAIPOO BONDA
Very Healthiest Bonda but such a wired combination, but you never regret. We usually make ulundu bonda, mysore bonda. But what is in Multigrain Vazhaipoo bonda. You won’t believe me I have added one more healthy combo into it- MURUNGAI KEERAI/ DRUMSTICK LEAVES to enhance the nutrition values.
such a healthy combo, Especially during pregnancy and puberty period. In general its very hard to make the kids to eat the mentioned ingredients alone. This is such a way of making them eat these nutritional items in one byte.
