Nutritional Benefits of Tandoori Butter Roti with ADF Pickles & Chutneys

The complex carbohydrates present in whole wheat provide a slow and steady release of energy, keeping you full and active for longer periods. Unlike refined grains, whole wheat flour prevents sudden blood sugar spikes, promoting sustained energy levels throughout the day.

Whole wheat flour contains B vitamins, which are essential for energy production and metabolic functions, making this roti a great option for those looking to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
-
Calcium for Strong Bones – Both yogurt and whole wheat flour contribute significantly to bone health. Yogurt is rich in calcium and probiotics, essential for strong bones and teeth.
