Healthy or Not? Nutritionist Rates Indian Favorites Like Chole Bhature and Bhel
5 months ago | 5 Views
In a video, Deepsikha Jain, a nutritionist, gave a rating to well-known Indian foods based on their nutritional content and possible health advantages. As she put it, moderation is essential since even healthier alternatives might harm your health if eaten in moderation.
“Rating Indian foods as a nutritionist,” she posted on Instagram on June 2. "For good health, you can surely have all these foods in moderation." She continued in the video, "As a nutritionist, let's rate some of these Indian meals... I hope this helps."
This is what Deepsikha stated:
Ragi dosa
She said, “Ragi dosa is 8/10. it is extremely rich in calcium and good for your bone health.” Ragi (finger millet) is rich in fibre, calcium, and iron. When made with minimal oil and paired with healthy fillings, a south Indian ragi dosa can be a nutritious breakfast option.
Dhokla
She added, “Dhoklas are 10/10. They are fermented and very good for your gut health.” Gujarati Dhokla is a fermented food, often made from gram flour, which is high in protein and fibre. It's relatively low in calories and can be a good source of probiotics.
Vada pav
Deepshikha also said, “I will give it 4/10. They are not so healthy for you, but you can eat them once in a while because of the trans fat.” Vada pav is a popular street food from Maharashtra made from deep-fried potato dumplings served in a bun. The high oil content and refined carbohydrates make this dish less healthy.
Rajma chawal
She added, “Rajma chawal is 9/10. It is a complete source of protein, but only if you are eating it in moderation.” It is a popular north Indian dish made with kidney beans (rajma) and rice (chawal). Rajma is high in protein, fibre, and various minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron. White rice provides carbohydrates for energy, but it can be high on the glycemic index.
Chole bhature
She further said, “Chole bhature is 5/10. Maybe swap the bhature with a healthier option, but chole is good for you.” Chole bhature is a popular north Indian dish made from deep-fried bread (bhature) served with spicy chickpea curry (chole). While chickpeas are a good source of protein and fibre, the deep-fried bhature and high oil content make this dish less healthy.
Bhel
Deepshikha added, “Chatpata bhel is 8/10 because it is a low-calorie snack. It is good for those who are trying to lose weight.” Bhel is a popular street food made from puffed rice, vegetables, and chutneys. When made with whole grains and plenty of vegetables, bhel can be a relatively healthy snack option.
