Ingredients such as ghee and butter make parathas rich in saturated fats. People who are planning for weight gain can include parathas to their diet.
To make it diet friendly, we can use almond flour in the place of wheat and add methi to it. To cut a few more calories, we can use ghee and butter in limited quantity.
Calories in aloo paratha are high than palak paratha and broccoli paratha. But can be included in your diet occasionally making it a healthy and delicious choice.
