Paneer & Roti: A Delicious Enemy of Blood Sugar Control

Chapati with paneer is a delicious meal people like to have. The main ingredient in this meal, paneer, is an excellent source of protein and fat. As proteins and fats are slower to digest, they slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, improving the glucose response. Still, this meal has a poor score due to the roti. Roti’s high Glycemic Index (GI) raises blood sugar levels due to its quick absorption into the bloodstream.

Optimise the Paneer Roti Meal for Healthy Glucose Levels
• Change the flour of the rotis. You may switch to almond flour, coconut flour, or low-carb flour.
• Ensure you consume an adequate amount of paneer and not just gravy.
• Add a side of vegetable salad for fibre.
• Use low-fat oil like coconut, canola, or olive oil for cooking the paneer.

Roti and paneer can be healthy for your blood sugar if you are mindful of their consumption. It can be problematic to consume too much paneer. Also, keep a check on your portions of rotis. Consuming more than 2-3 whole wheat rotis daily is not advised.
