Looking for healthy and nutritious options when losing weight or eating healthy? Multigrain roti is one of the low calorie roti that you can add to your diet. I make Multigrain Roti for breakfast and also for my kids tiffin as it is tummy filling and supremely healthy.
See why the 5 flours used are good for you in multigrain roti. Jowar flour is a complex carb and will be absorbed slowly in the blood stream and not cause a spike in insulin. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. Ragi flour is high in protein and great source for vegetarians. In addition its gluten-free, fibre which in turn is good for diabetics and a heart. Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food. Besan has more good fat than whole wheat flour and also higher protein content. All these combined flours together make a very nutritious and healthy multigrain roti.
Multigrain roti is a quick roti recipe and you can make it for any meal of the day, be it for healthy breakfast roti, lunch roti or dinner roti. It is also an healthy option for diabetics and is low in calorie.
