Trying to lose weight but craving for junk food? Try these delicious leftover roti recipes that are rich in fibre and many other essential nutrients to satiate your spicy cravings.
A balanced meal cannot be complete without roti-sabzi. When you are eating this nutritious meal every day, you will not only feel full for a longer time but also high on energy. On the other hand, deep fried junk food made of maida (all-purpose flour) or that with excess sugar can leave you low on energy and offers zero nourishment. Roti on the other hand is a good source of complex carbohydrates, fibre, and B vitamins. Sabzi which is made of any seasonal vegetable is a storehouse of vitamin, potassium, magnesium, fibre, protein and many other antioxidants. However, it is normal to have junk food cravings from time to time. So instead of going for things like chhole bhature and maida noodles, one can try recipes made of healthy ingredients. If you do not have anything in the kitchen, but some leftover rotis, here are 7 interesting recipes suggested by a nutritionist you can try.
