gastroenterology Gut Health Insight

This parantha gets a nice gut-friendly boost from peas and whole wheat flour, so you get a good mix of fiber for smoother digestion and steadier blood sugar. The peas also bring folate and a bit of vitamin C, while onion and spices like garam masala and amchur can help wake up the appetite and make the meal feel lighter on the stomach. Since it’s cooked with fat, the heaviness can depend on how much oil or ghee goes in — a little less oil and a side of dahi or chutney can make it sit better and support digestion.
