Five low-cal recipes for a healthy diet

Date updated: Wed, Jul 28, 2010
By Bolohealth
Effective weight management includes a healthy balance of calories consumed versus calories burned. As most of us almost always fail to burn less than the calories we consume, it is best to avoid high-calorie foods. Here are five low-calorie recipes that you can master to ensure you have your daily dose of healthy diet.

Carbohydrates: Stuffed bajra roti
We are always advised to choose healthy carbohydrates in our daily diet. To make your diet nutritious and healthy, go for healthy carbs such as bajra rotis. But rotis without oil or flavor every day may get monotonous. To make them tasty and filling, get creative and add a variety of stuffing to them, and you will have innovative rotis on the table. To keep it low on calories, serve without butter.

Ingredients:

For the dough
2 teacups of bajra flour
A pinch of salt

For the stuffing:
1/2 teacup crumbled paneer
2 tablespoons chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves
1 chopped green chili
1 finely chopped large tomato
Salt to taste

Method:
For the dough

Add salt and hot water to the bajra flour and make the dough.

Knead well, divide into 16 portions and roll out each portion into thin rotis.

Spread a little stuffing into one roti. Then put another roti on top and press well so that it doubles up into one roti. Repeat the same with the remaining rotis and stuffing.

Cook each stuffed roti on a tawa (griddle) on both sides without oil.

Total calorie count: Each roti equals to 115 kilo calories.
