A wholesome chana dal-stuffed Biraiee roti is the perfect way to sneak in some protein in your diet.
Think of rotis and the first instinct is of the good-old classic atta rotis. Even if we want to spruce them a little, we would go for stuffed parathas and puris or simply add a little salt to give flavour. Do we think of giving a healthier, more nutritious spin to our rotis? Yes, maybe by replacing our flour with that of buckwheat or ragi. But how about giving it a high-protein twist with flavourful spices and lentils? Doesn’t it sound like the perfect combination of healthy and yummy?
Proteins are the building blocks of our body and we won’t go into the details about how it is essential to include it in our daily diet, you perhaps would know a lot about it. But one of the most important benefits about protein is that it keeps us full for longer, meaning you binge less later and may ultimately lose weight. And one of the easiest ways to sneak in protein in your diet is through rotis! A typical Indian meal is never complete without a roti to pair with all sorts of curries and sabzis. Be it lunch or dinner, one can simply make it protein-rich by adding a bowl of dal or stuffing the same dal in the roti (especially for the picky eaters)!
