Paratha
पराठा · పరాఠా
Layered whole wheat flatbread cooked with oil or ghee. The fat content actually helps slow glucose absorption slightly.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Stuffed parathas (aloo, gobi, paneer) add variety but watch the potato filling — it raises the GI. Methi paratha is a great low-GI option.
