Ghee on chapati: As soon as the name of ghee is named in Indian homes, both taste and health are revealed. While the fragrance of desi ghee in the kitchen increases appetite, it is also considered very beneficial for health. Eating ghee especially with roti is a common thing. Many people eat ghee on bread and some people eat ghee with bread. But is eating ghee on bread is really beneficial or can it cause damage to health?
He said that ghee is a treasure of health in itself. It contains fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E and K which give energy to the body as well as increase immunity. The special thing is that the ghee of desi cow is considered as nectar in Ayurveda. It helps in giving strength to the brain, strengthening bones and keeping stomach health better.
Then why should you not apply ghee on bread?
Acharya Balakrishna says that when we apply ghee over the bread, it makes a layer. This layer slows down the digestion of bread. The effect of this is that the food is not completely digested, which can cause gas, indigestion and heaviness. Especially at night, eating ghee on bread can do even more damage.
If you want to eat ghee, then you can mix it in lentils or vegetables. When you eat a vegetable or lentils with bread and ghee is added to it, it does not harm the body but helps in digestion.
Also, if you want the bread to be soft, you can add some ghee while kneading the dough. This will make the bread soft and it can be eaten without applying ghee. This keeps both taste and health. In this way, the benefits of ghee will also be found and the digestive system will not be affected. (Disclaimer: The information and information given in this article is based on general recognition.
