Weight Loss
At just 117 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The low-calorie vegetables keep the energy density low.
Diabetes
With a low glycemic index of 44, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 2.8g fiber further slows glucose absorption.
Muscle Gain

Heart Health
Zero cholesterol and low saturated fat (1.8g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health.
PCOS

Thyroid
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.

Recipe Modifications
Boost protein

Reduce sodium
Cut salt by half and boost flavor with lemon juice, fresh herbs, or amchur (dry mango powder) instead.
Meal prep friendly
Khakra chaat stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.
Common Mistakes
Adding salt without measuring
Why it matters: Excess sodium increases blood pressure risk. Indian cooking already uses salt-heavy ingredients like pickles and chutneys alongside.
Fix: Use ½ teaspoon salt and taste before adding more. Account for sodium from other meal components.
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (234.1-351.1 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Overcooking the vegetables
Why it matters: Overcooking destroys heat-sensitive vitamins (C, B-complex) and reduces fiber quality.
Fix: Cook vegetables until just tender. Add delicate vegetables (like spinach or capsicum) in the last 2-3 minutes.
