Could you also specify serving size in your calorie count? The size of these ambolis varries with every household.. so it might be more helpful to tell us the serving size in grams just to standardize the calorie count to a certain extent. Thanks!

Who is this uneducated, horrid nutritionist who is devaluating such a rich food source, based on their half-assed knowledge of food, health or any inkling of science? Amboli peeth is made out of mix of 4-5 different grains (rice, poha, urad dal) with methi seeds and is one of the best alternatives to rotis/parathas, giving you diversity in your gut, and providing essential carbs and fats.

   Dear Dr. Naina This recipe of Amboli is made with rice flour and hence suggested as not the most healthiest option as it is full of carbs. The recipe mentioned by you which makes use of whole rice with urad dal, poha and methi seeds and set aside to ferment is definitely a healthier option than this recipe.
