For the stuffing
Peel the onions and finely chop in a bowl, add, coriander leaves, green chillies to it, mix well, keep aside until required.

Now, put a non-stick pan over medium flame. Meanwhile, take one part of the dough and use a little dry flour and rolling pin to form a thick roti.
4
Beat the eggs
In a bowl, beat the eggs along with some salt and keep them aside.
5
Add the stuffing
Place the roti on the pan, put the beaten egg in the center of the roti. Before the eggs start to solidify, top it up with green chilies, onions, coriander leaves, and salt. Now, lower the heat to medium and start folding it by bringing the four sides of the roti to the center.

Health Goals Suitability
Weight Loss
At just 160.9 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management.
Diabetes
With a low glycemic index of 44, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 2.1g fiber further slows glucose absorption.
Muscle Gain
Low protein content (3.2g 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.
Heart Health
Watch your intake — saturated fat (6.1g) and cholesterol (51.3mg) are on the higher side. Reduce ghee/oil and use olive or mustard oil for healthier fats.
PCOS
Low GI (44) with 2.1g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management. Anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and ginger are especially beneficial for PCOS.
Thyroid
No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.

Common Mistakes
Using too much oil or ghee
Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.
Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
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 (321.9-482.8 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
