Jowar vs Bajra: Which roti is best for weight loss?

Pravrajya Suruchi

Jowar Roti (Sorghum Roti): Jowar flour is a gluten-free option packed with dietary fiber.

Bajra Roti (Pearl Millet Roti): Similar to jowar roti, bajra rotis are rich in fiber and have a lower glycemic index (GI) than wheat rotis.

Ragi Roti (Finger Millet Roti): Ragi is a powerhouse of nutrients like calcium, iron, and fiber.

Multigrain Roti: Multigrain rotis combine various flours like wheat, jowar, bajra, and sometimes even oats or barley.

Oat Roti: Oats are well-known for their high fiber content and beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that promotes satiety and helps regulate blood sugar.

Vegetable Roti: Adding finely chopped vegetables like spinach, carrots, or grated cauliflower to your roti dough increases their nutritional value.

Methi Thepla: Theplas are flatbreads made with whole wheat flour and fenugreek leaves (methi).

While these rotis are healthier options, moderation is important. Pair them with nutritious dals, vegetables, and lean protein sources for a balanced and weight-loss-friendly meal.
