Sonam Bajwa Shares Daily Paratha Tradition and White Butter Love
Sonam Bajwa said she ate parathas for breakfast every day as a child.
She listed many kinds, including potato, radish, papaya, peas and lentil parathas.
She also said she likes white makkhan, which means traditional white butter, and desi ghee.
A dietitian explained that homemade white makkhan is made by churning curd.
It may contain healthy fats and vitamins A and D. However, it is still high in calories and saturated fat.
Eating a small amount can fit into a balanced diet.
Eating too much, especially with other fatty foods, may be unhealthy.
The expert recommended moderation and pairing it with simple home-cooked meals.
Sonam Bajwa said parathas were part of her breakfast every day while growing up.
She described a rotating menu including aloo, mooli, papite, matar and dal parathas.
Bajwa said she enjoys white makkhan and desi ghee, highlighting her Punjabi roots.
Dietitian Amreen Sheikh said homemade white makkhan can provide healthy fats and vitamins A and D.
She advised moderation because white makkhan remains high in saturated fat and calories.

Quotes
Dt. Amreen Sheikh
Chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals, Thane
“Homemade white makkhan is churned from curd and usually lacks additives, preservatives, or excessive salt. Packaged butter, however, may have added sodium and undergoes more processing. This makes traditional makkhan feel lighter and easier to digest for some. Still, nutritionally, both are fats, so the amount matters more than the source”

“It has healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins like A and D, and can give quick energy. In small amounts, it can fit into a balanced diet. The problem arises when it is eaten in excess, as it is still high in saturated fat and calories. So yes, it can be healthy, but only when consumed mindfully”
