Chole with Fried Whole Wheat Puri or Poori Bread (Indian Puffed Bread) is a favourite among people of all ages. Considering its effects on glucose levels, this meal can lead to hyperglycemia due to a glycemic load. The amount of carbs in chole is higher than the amount of protein. Similarly, Bhatures are also overloaded with carbs because these are made from wheat flour or maida. This combination is bad for your blood sugar.
How to consume Chole Puri for glucose management
• Try pairing Chole with salad to make an excellent combination of carbs and fibre.
• You may consider having Chole with paratha and paneer. You should, however, keep your portions small.
• Consider making the Bhature with alternative low-carb flour like almond flour, lupin flour etc.
• Indulging in exercise helps you burn calories and improves digestion ultimately leading to improved blood sugar levels.
Usually, Bhature is made with maida which loses all its nutrition namely fibre, vitamins, iron, and other minerals during the refining process. What remains are just carbs which are highly dangerous for your blood sugar. But enjoying it is still possible by altering the ingredients for a guilt-free indulgence.
