Boosting Calcium in Your Rotis and Parathas
Rotis and parathas are staples in Indian cuisine, and they offer a fantastic opportunity to boost your daily calcium intake. Calcium is crucial for strong bones and teeth, proper muscle function, and nerve transmission. While dairy products are often the first thought for calcium, there are many plant-based ingredients that are excellent sources and can be easily incorporated into your flatbreads, making them not just delicious but also a nutritional powerhouse.
Key Calcium-Rich Ingredients for Flatbreads
To make your rotis and parathas calcium-rich, focus on incorporating flours and other ingredients that naturally contain high levels of this mineral. Ragi (finger millet), also known as nachni, stands out as an exceptional source of calcium, often containing significantly more than other cereals. Other beneficial flours include bajra (pearl millet) and jowar (sorghum), both of which offer a good amount of calcium along with other vital nutrients. Beyond flours, consider adding dark leafy greens like spinach (palak), fenugreek leaves (methi), or amaranth leaves (chaulai), which are packed with calcium. Sesame seeds (til) are another fantastic addition, providing a concentrated dose of calcium and a pleasant nutty flavor. For a protein and calcium boost, crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or even tofu can be mixed into the dough or used as a stuffing.
Vegetarian Recipe Examples for Calcium-Rich Flatbreads
Here are some delicious vegetarian recipe examples to help you create calcium-rich rotis and parathas:
- Ragi Roti/Nachni Roti: Made entirely from ragi flour, these rotis are a direct route to high calcium intake.
- Palak Paneer Paratha: A stuffing of finely chopped spinach and crumbled paneer elevates the calcium content significantly.
- Methi Bajra Roti: Combining fenugreek leaves with bajra flour creates a flavorful and calcium-dense flatbread.
- Til Jowar Roti: Adding roasted sesame seeds to jowar flour not only enhances the flavor but also provides a substantial calcium boost.
- Mixed Millet and Greens Paratha: A blend of ragi, bajra, and jowar flours combined with finely chopped mixed greens like spinach and amaranth leaves makes for an ultimate calcium-rich option.
Nachni and Onion Roti
Experiment with the use of calcium-rich ingredients like ragi flour and jowar flour along with stuffing made of dals and paneer. This section will surely inspire you to pep up the calcium-quotient of your meal!
Calcium Rich Ragi (Nachni) Rotis
