What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
Aloo gobhi brings a decent 5.4g fiber per bowl, mostly from cauliflower, so it can support smoother digestion and keep you full a bit longer. Cauliflower also gives vitamin C and folate, which are nice for gut lining support and overall cell repair, while ginger and spices like haldi and garam masala can feel warming and may help with bloating after a heavy meal. The one thing to notice is the 15g fat used per serving — if your stomach feels heavy with oily sabzi, try making it with less oil and a little extra ginger so it stays tasty but sits lighter.
