Crunchy Taco Shells

I like Corn(Mokkajonna kanki,Mokkacholam) always.Mom used to prepare "Sundalu" by soaking overnight(dried corn seeds)after seasoning it with jeera it will be tasty with hot rice.So,after searching on web i got these little information about the nutritional facts of todays recipe.

Corn(Yellow) is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium.
Carrot:This food is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin C,B6, Potassium and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A,K and Manganese.
Cilantro(Coriander):It is also very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol & a good source of Thiamin and Zinc,Dietary Fiber, VitaminA,C,E,K,B6,Riboflavin,Niacin,Folate,Pantothenic Acid,Calcium,Iron,Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese
Chickpeas:(r also called Garbanzo beans)r high in Fiber so,it decreases serum glucose and cholesterol(help to stave off heart attacks and strokes)and decreases insulin requirements for people with diabetes.
