Tips for making tasty and healthy Paratha
What is the best fat to cook Healthy Paratha?
Which fat is good to cook Paratha mainly depends on your taste. Any neutral tasting oil works good or if you like ghee you can use that too. I personally like to add ghee, which is now considered healthy if you take care of the quantities.
How many Paratha to eat in one meal? What is the ideal serving size of paratha?
This is an important aspect of keeping our food healthy. Even a perfectly healthy food eaten in large quantities is not healthier option anymore. Portion control is most important while eating any meal. I personally eat one paratha in one meal (around 250-300calories). Instead of serving it with lots of butter or dal makhani etc. you can serve paratha with ½ a bowl of dahi/ yogurt or bowl of dal if you want to keep calories towards the lower side.
