Reasons to Eat Dosa for Breakfast/Lunch or Dinner
By Shankar Dosa Wala 🙂
A bowlful of oats or cornflakes are some common breakfast options, however, there are days when you crave for something different. On such days, a healthy yet tasty breakfast option that you have is a crispy dosa. The delicacy from South India is a wholesome breakfast option that keeps you full without adding any unhealthy calories. If you are worried about the preparation part, smart chef appliances from KENT can help you out. Whether you need an instant dosa batter or prepare perfectly round dosas, the appliances can help you out. Now that we have a solution for your preparation part, read on to find out why dosa is an ideal breakfast option for your busy mornings.
Easy on your Digestive System :
Dosas are not just a treat for your taste buds, but also light on your digestive system. Prepared from rice and lentils, dosa is a fermented breakfast option, which makes it easy for your body to assimilate and digest it. You can also use some other healthy ingredients instead of rice such as oats or rawa to alter the taste and calorie count of dosa. In addition, being a wholesome meal, dosa keeps you full for a longer period of time.
The Best Source of Carbohydrates :
Dosa is also a great source of healthy carbohydrates. As a result, your body is supplied with the necessary energy that you need to stay energetic throughout the day. So, if you are planning to shed some weight, dosa is the right breakfast option for you. Removing carbs completely from your diet will make you lethargic, low on energy and may also lead to depression in many cases. This is the reason why it is advisable to get your supply of carbohydrates from healthy sources.
A Good Source of Protein :
Protein is another important nutrient that your body needs to keep you active throughout the day. However, getting a sufficient amount of protein can be problematic for vegetarians. This is the reason why you need to include dosa in your diet. Dosa and sambhar both are made from lentils, which provide a good amount of protein to your body. To add a healthy twist, you can add more dal and less rice when making the batter. Don’t forget to include the coconut chutney as it provides healthy fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins to your body. However, if you are trying to lose weight, go easy on the chutney.
Low on Fat :
People suffering from heart diseases or diabetes need to take special care about what they eat. However, dosa is a healthy breakfast option for people who need to keep a check on their fat intake. A high amount of saturated fat increases the risk of heart diseases and a number of other health problems. Dosas are low on saturated fat, which makes them a healthy and safe breakfast option.
