Health is Wealth - Broken wheat Tomato bhath

Its good to get health conscious, not occasionally but often.. and as one such occasion I decided to cook something tasty from broken wheat. I used to make it often earlier but as i got lazy and stuck to making chapathi's for dinner i totally forgot about how to eat a healthy dinner. Well, better late than never i started off again and this time with my hubby's all time favourite tomato bhath, but made of broken wheat.
