Recipe: Diabetic-Friendly Parathas Using Aashirvaad Sugar Release Control Atta
Ingredients Used to Make Healthy Diabetic-Friendly Parathas:
- Atta – 1 cup
- Water – as needed to knead the dough
- Cumin powder – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – to taste
- Finely chopped vegetables (e.g., spinach, carrots, or methi) – 1/2 cup (optional for added nutrition)
- Ajwain (carom seeds) – 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
- Red chilli powder – 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
- Ghee or olive oil – 1 tablespoon (optional for brushing)
Step-by-Step Process to Make Diabetic-Friendly Parathas:
- Knead the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, take 1 cup of atta. For best results, use Aashirvaad Sugar Release Control Atta.
- Add salt to taste and cumin powder for a flavorful kick. The cumin powder aids digestion and supports healthy blood sugar regulation.
- If you’re adding vegetables like spinach or carrots, mix them into the dry ingredients to boost fibre content.
- Slowly add water, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and soft. The dough should be firm but easy to work with.
- Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
- Roll the Parathas:
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Lightly dust your rolling surface with the atta to prevent sticking.
- Roll each dough ball into a round shape, about 6 inches in diameter. For a crispier paratha, you can brush a thin layer of ghee or olive oil before folding the dough into layers.
- Cook the Parathas:
- Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium heat.
- Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Flip the paratha and cook until both sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- You can brush a little ghee or olive oil on both sides for extra flavour and crispiness.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once done, remove the paratha from the pan and serve hot with a side of low-fat yoghurt or a tangy green chutney for added taste.
