Is aloo paratha good for weight loss?
Aloo paratha is high in calories because of the potato filling and oil. For weight loss, have it occasionally, with less oil and a side of curd.
Healthier ways to eat aloo paratha
- Use a thin layer of oil and skip the butter on top.
- Have 1 paratha with curd and salad rather than 2 to 3.
- Try paneer, methi or mixed-vegetable fillings for more protein and fibre.
