How To Make Paratha Healthy: People living in India love parathas very much. This is the reason why you must have seen parathas filled with potatoes, paneer, lentils, cabbage, peas, radish and eggs in your home and market. But no matter how much you like this recipe, it is full of fat and harmful for health. In such a situation, how to enjoy your favorite food? Dr. Manan Vora told through a video on his Instagram account how you can make your paratha healthy and eat it.
Are parathas unhealthy?
“Many people think that eating parathas will make them fat, you too must have thought after seeing someone that he must be eating a lot of parathas. If this was true, Akshay Kumar would not have been so fit today, but the stuffing and cooking oil really make a lot of difference. Parathas are high in carbs and fat, but very low in protein and fiber, these 2 nutrients are essential for weight loss.”
Ways to make parathas healthier
According to Dr Manan Vohra, “When you replace potatoes with chopped spinach, or radish, lentils or any plant-based protein in the stuffing of parathas, you are taking in more protein, which is good for your body. If you replace wheat flour with almond and soya flour, your carbs are directly reduced by half. And finally, use ghee carefully while making parathas and avoid cooking oil completely.”
