 Pyaaz Paratha in Breakfast for Permanent Health 

Parathas are no doubt the most popular and iconic dish for people living in the Indian subcontinent region. They not only taste yummy with chutney, or achaar, or curd, but also offer plenty of nutrition to the body. Stuffed parathas come in a variety of flavors, including aloo paratha, paneer paratha, mooli paratha, and many others. One such form of paratha is the Pyaaz paratha, which not only tastes delicious but can provide numerous health benefits to the body. The Pyaaz paratha can function as an ideal food to boost health.

 This healthy dish is made using wheat and onion as primary ingredients. Wheat is rich in complex carbohydrates that are necessary to refill the depleted glycogen level within the liver. This helps to keep the body energetic and active. At the same time, fibres in wheat help keep the stomach full for an extended time, thereby helping avoid overeating. Also, whole wheat consists of insoluble fibres that prevent constipation. Onions also contain an honest amount of water-soluble vitamins which strengthen the system and help in the production of collagen, which is to blame for skin development. Onions also come with potassium, which is good for skin health. Therefore, eating onion paratha for breakfast can make someone healthy and, at the same time, enrich the body with a good amount of nutrients.

 Pyaaz paratha also contains green chill, coriander powder, red chilli powder, or other ingredients which enhance its health value. It should be eaten in moderation with eggs, oatmeal, and muesli for breakfast to achieve its flavor.
