Love parathas but worry about weight gain? Here’s the right way to eat them

Parathas

Parathas are delicious but can lead to health concerns if prepared unhealthily. Here are some steps to enjoy them guilt-free:

  • After you make the raw paratha on the tawa, cook it without oil and add ghee just like how you make chappati.
  • You can add oil or ghee at the end for flavour and easy digestion.
  • Pair parathas with curd to balance carbohydrates with protein.
  • Opt for high-protein fillings like paneer or sattu, and sauté gas-causing stuffings like radish or cauliflower with spices like ajwain and ginger for better digestion.
  • Mix flours like besan, jowar, or bajra into the dough for added nutrition.
  • Control portions by pairing parathas with protein-rich sides.
