Here are 5 tips for cooking low-calorie rotis and parathas for weight loss:

1. Choose Healthy Oils: Opt for healthier oils like coconut oil, peanut oil, or olive oil for cooking. Avoid using excessive amounts of ghee or butter.
2. Lean Dough: When kneading the dough, minimize the addition of fat like ghee or butter.
3. Incorporate Vegetables: Add nutritious vegetables like spinach, beetroot, or carrots to the dough for added fiber and vitamins.
4. Serve Fresh: Enjoy your rotis and parathas immediately after cooking. As they cool, they may become less crispy and more chewy.
5. Pair with Low-Fat Yogurt: Serve your rotis and parathas with low-fat yogurt to add protein and reduce the overall calorie content of your meal.
