I make sure all gonad hua aata is finished at night so tht no atta in morning no paratha :p

Hahaha love this!

Think of all the flab that you possibly already have on your body & how that delicious bite of paratha is going to just add more fat to that flab.

If this doesn't keep you away from Ami's handmade paratha. Nothing will.

On a side note, have your mom make it with less oil or just spray a little oil on the tawa/griddle so the paratha doesn't stick to the bottom & then eat it. It will take a little getting used to in the start but this way you can still eat the paratha & later on not feel deprived & binge on the darn yumminess.

I can't imagine eating parathas anymore. Stuff yourself with loads of salad and water to kill the craving.

I only recently ate a paratha for the first time in my life and can't imagine what the fuss is all about

Try routine haath ki roti, rather than paratha. Make it with whole wheat atta.

It is not about what you eat it is about how much you eat.

Depending on the size of a paratha and how it is made it can have anywhere from 120 to 500 calories per paratha and then are you eating it with , yogurt , malai,mithai, qeema, timatar key chutney , lahsan key chutney then you have to do that math as to how many calories did you consume.

Once you know how many calories you consumed you can balance it with physical activity to burn those extra calories you consumed.

You do not have to deprive yourself of goodies of life to stay slim. You have to strike a balance among, what you eat, when you eat , how much you eat and what you do to burn all those extra calories. If you just watch your diet and you do not have a healthy lifestyle then you would miss out on many good things of life.

I think you should get your ammi in on your effort to lose weight.

You cannot do it alone unless you go in hibernation and avoid your family.

So, see if she will help with the healthy eating and weight loss effort.

As long as the paratha is not round, you will not be rotund.

Corollary - avoid round rotis
