Poor Parantha !! Losing its position in PLATE # stay healthy # stay fit
Parantha, is North Indian's, especially Punjabi's staple Breakfast, rather, I should say, it was a staple Breakfast.
Now these days, we are seeing Parantha as a farm of high carbohydrates and factory of fats, which in results has kept the Parantha out of the queue. But let me correct, Parantha contains Proteins and Fibres too.
It's our cooking style only which makes the Parantha less healthy and more fattening.
Below are some tips while preparing Parantha
- Use whole wheat flour or can add suji as both are rich in proteins and fibers
- Can use milk while kneading the dough as it results in softer and nutritious Parantha
- Use healthier options for stuffing like peas, cauliflower, spinach, fenugreek leaves, Beetroots, raw Papaya, Dal, paneer
- Avoid frying Paranthas, rather apply Ghee once Parantha is made as Ghee is healthier
- Mind the portion size too.
In earlier days, people used to eat Parantha on daily basis but never stuck with the thought of getting fat, as they were doing heavy physical activity.
Hence, its fault of our lifestyle, which keeps on increasing the size of our clothes, not Paranthas
Nice ...
