Pani Puri Weight-Friendly Recipe: Weight loss plans sometimes take a toll on our favourite foods, such as pizza, burgers, chaat, and others. Street-style pani puri is one such meal that we all enjoy, but experts advise avoiding eating it on a weight-loss regimen.
What if we told you that you could eat your favourite pani puri without jeopardising your weight loss goals? Yes, you read that correctly. It is feasible to eat pani puri whilst on a weight loss plan. Garima, also known as @dietitiangarima on Instagram, recently uploaded a video in which she explains how to make pani puri weight-loss friendly.
Tips to make Pani Puri weight loss friendly
Make Golgappas at Home
“To further lower its calorie content, make the golgappa balls at home in an air-fryer with minimum oil usage. Puris can also be easily made at home by baking,” suggested dietitian Garima.
Use Less Potatoes
Add potatoes in the filling can be deleted or reduced in quantity. Furthermore, the dietician suggests replacing potatoes with something healthier, such as mashed chickpeas. This would make it rich in protein and ‘nutritionally better’.
Portion Control
“If you compare golgappas with other options such as burgers, pizzas, manchurian, cheese corn roll etc., it is definitely a low-calorie option,” she wrote in the caption. But, just like with all other foods, even golgappa should be consumed in moderation.
Use spices that are gut-friendly
“Then there are specific ingredients for the gut health such as mint (pudina), asafoetida (hing), fennel seeds (saunf), cumin powder (jeera), black salt (kala namak), jaljeera etc. They help to deal with acidity and bloating,” she wrote.
Note: Remember, never take advise from the internet on faith. If you are trying to reduce weight, always see a competent nutritionist before embarking on any drastic weight loss regimens.
