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.
