Is there a lack of protein and fiber in your roti? Make it a power pack of nutrition with these 5 tips..

Do you know that the simple wheat flour roti you are eating every day may lack essential nutrients like protein and fiber?

Yes, often we ignore its nutrition in the pursuit of tasty and soft roti. The result is that the body does not get enough energy, digestion is weak, and you start feeling tired quickly.

However, there is nothing to worry, because with some easy and smart ways you can make your simple roti a treasure trove of protein and fiber. Let's know those 5 magical tips, which will make your roti a power pack of nutrition.

The magic of multigrain flour
Instead of just wheat flour, add grains like jowar, bajra, ragi, gram, or barley to it. This will not only enhance the taste but will also increase the amount of protein and fiber in your roti manifold. If you want, you can prepare your own multigrain flour by mixing these grains in different proportions.

Dal Tadka
Have you ever added lentils to roti flour? Yes, you can add some gram flour, sattu, or finely ground moong dal to the wheat flour. This will increase the protein level in the roti and make you feel full for a long time. This is a great way for vegetarians to increase protein in their diet.

Vegetable Nutrition

Add grated vegetables (like carrots, spinach, gourd) or finely chopped onions and coriander to the flour to make your roti rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This will not only enhance the taste of the roti but also increase its nutritional value drastically. It is also a great way to feed vegetables to children.

Power of Seeds

Small seeds are also very useful. Add powder of flaxseeds, sesame, or chia seeds to the flour. Flax seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, which are very beneficial for heart health and digestion. These seeds will give a different, nutritious touch to the roti.

The right choice of flour and the method of kneading
If you want healthy roti, always use unsifted, whole wheat flour. While kneading the dough, use buttermilk or curd instead of water. This will make the roti even softer and nutritious. Also, after kneading the dough, keep it covered for 15-20 minutes; this will make the roti even softer.
