News India Live, Digital Desk: Usually, when we hear the name of gram flour, we start thinking about pakodas or kadhi. But do you know that gram flour is not just for taste but is a treasure of health? If you keep the ratio of your wheat flour and gram flour at 4:1 (i.e. 4 bowls of flour and 1 bowl of gram flour), then it can give a new turn to the health of your entire family.
1. Protein Tadka (that too without supplements)
There is often a lack of protein in the diet of us Indians, especially if you are a vegetarian. Wheat has more carbohydrates, whereas gram flour is made from gram pulses which is rich in protein. Rotis made by mixing both make the body stronger and keep you energetic throughout the day.
2. Panacea for sugar patients
Nowadays there are diabetic patients in every house. The ‘glycemic index’ of wheat flour is slightly high, due to which blood sugar can increase quickly. But as soon as you add gram flour to it, it reduces the speed of sugar absorption. This roti digests slowly and does not allow sudden sugar spike.
3. Relief from stomach problems
If you have problem of constipation or gas, then ‘mixed grain’ roti can prove to be your best friend. Gram flour contains dietary fiber which keeps the digestive system clean. After eating this, you do not feel hungry for a long time, which prevents you from unnecessary snacking and eating outside food.
4. Glowing skin and strong hair
Gram flour contains elements like ‘Vitamin B-complex’ and magnesium. When you regularly eat rotis made of this mixed flour, its effect becomes visible on your face. It helps in flushing out toxins and strengthens the hair from within.
A tip on the go:
Try to add not only gram flour but also a pinch of rock salt or a little celery in the flour. This will not only double the taste but will also make it easier to digest. Real health is hidden in simplicity, we just have to adopt it a little smartly!
