When it is winter, we all love to eat parathas. In this season we like to eat many different types of parathas. Green leafy vegetables are available in the market at very low prices during winter. Being beneficial for health, we all include them in our diet in some form or the other. Bathua is one of them.
In the cold season, we make Bathua's raita into paratha. It is very common to make Bathua paratha for breakfast in Indian homes. But often we do not focus on making it healthy while making it, due to which the full benefit of eating Bathua Paratha is not available. So, today in this article, we are telling you about some such easy tips, which will help you in making Bathua Paratha healthier-
Make flour healthy
The first step while making Bathua Paratha is to make the flour healthier. By the way, we use wheat flour while making parathas. But if you want to increase the fibre content in your diet, then you can also add a little gram flour to it. This will make you feel fuller. in addition, if you wish, you can also use lukewarm milk or curd to knead the dough. This makes your paratha very soft. At the same time, due to curd, you get probiotics, which help in increasing the good bacteria in the gut.
Do not make stuffing separately
Everyone's way of making Bathua Paratha is different. Where some people cut Bathua and mix it directly in the flour, and then some people make stuffing separately from it. To make the stuffing of Bathua, you have to add potatoes etc., which is not a healthy option. So, try to cut and blanch the Bathua and mix it directly in the flour.
Make spices healthy
When it comes to making parathas, people use spices according to their taste. But when you are making Bathua Paratha, then try to make the spices healthier as well. For example, when you are kneading the dough, then after roasting the linseed seeds and making a fine powder, put them in it. Flaxseeds are considered very good for health and they do not taste different when mixed with flour. That's why you will be able to eat them easily. Since flax seeds are fibre rich, when you add them to the flour, you will be able to easily control the portion while eating parathas.
Say no to refined
Oil is needed to bake the parathas. In such a situation, most people choose the option of refining. But if you want to make your parathas more healthy, then it is considered better to avoid refined ones. Try to use desi ghee for baking the parathas. Desi ghee is counted in good fats, which are also essential for your body. However, it is better to use them in moderation as well.
So now you too take the help of these tips and make Bathua Paratha healthier.
