Healthy Rotis Parathas and Theplas, Healthy  Rotis Parathas and Theplas for Breakfast.

Using Bajra to make healthy Rotis and healthy Parathas

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.  Bajra is a great option for those on a gluten free diet.

Remember that full fat paneer is made of healthy fat and recommended to be avoided by only those with diabetes and heart issues. 

Jowar to make healthy Rotis and healthy Parathas

Why use jowar flour is something we always wanted to know.  Jowar is a complex carb and will be absorbed slowly in the blood stream and not cause a spike in insulin.

Hence a good safe food for diabetics and also for those who want to live and eat healthy. You can have the basic jowar roti recipe.

Makkai ka Atta to make healthy Rotis and healthy Parathas

Why use makkai ka atta is something we always wanted to know. Maize flour ( makai ka atta) : Maize flour is a carbohydrate rich and energy rich flour loaded with fibre. Cornmeal prevents your blood sugar from shooting up and loaded with Zinc which is necessary for the formation of insulin. Maize flour is a good source of magnesium which is necessary for maintaining a steady heartbeat and normal blood pressure. The fibre binds with the bile salts and throws it out of the body, which helps in reducing the cholesterol from the body and good for  heart

Parathas are a must for Punjabi breakfast and makai mooli methi paratha recipe is perfect and gluten free.

Theplas is what the Gujaratis love and also those who have eaten it 

So what is the famous Thepla made of.

A classic South Indian accompaniment, the Coconut Thuvayal recipe is a slightly spicier coconut chutney made by blending coconut with roasted dals and spices in coconut oil. A dash of asafoetida boosts the aroma of this chutney while tamarind gives it an appetizing tang. The Coconut Thuvayal can be enjoyed with any meal.
