We must eat protein every day in some form or the other. Instead of eating the same protein every day, we should keep rotating the sources. Since protein is called the body's building block, we require all types to have a healthy body. One such superfood is horsegram flour, a complete vegetarian protein rich source. You can have it 3 to 4 times a week.

People normally get confused between flaxseed and horsegram. Flaxseed is a seed, and horsegram is a legume. They are two very different food items. Their looks, benefits and way of consumption are different too. Flaxseed can be consumed raw or in powdered form. Horsegram needs to be cooked and can be made into a curry. Or you can use horsegram flour to make chillas or parathas. It can be made into pithale, a kadhi ( curry) made by using this flour and dahi as a base.
