Weight Loss

At just 75.9 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The 3.1g of dietary fiber promotes satiety, helping you feel full longer.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 44, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 3.1g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (2.8g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.
