It can be consumed by everyone as breakfast, lunch, evening or dinner food item. ![]() Plain Puri Plain puri also called 'fried bread' is such a dish that it can be enjoyed at all meal times by all age groups equally. It is made almost the same way as a roti, but deep fried instead of being cooked on a griddle. It is eaten with side dishes like vegetable curries, chutneys, pickles etc. It can be stored for a couple of hours. Despite being so popular, plain puri can also have side effects if it is consumed more than required as it is an oily preparation. Thus, it should be avoided by the people who have cholesterol, diabetes and heart diseases. Paratha ![]() However, it is also prepared by stuffing different vegetables to provide a distinct flavour like there is aloo ka parantha (stuffed with potato), pea's paratha (stuffed with peas), paneer paratha (stuffed with paneer), govhi ka paratha (stuffed with cauliflower/cabbage) etc. Nutritionally, breads are much ahead than any other form of food. They are fit for almost all doshas except for some diseased conditions. |
