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.
