Healthy swaps are always a good idea. While we love the soft and fluffy maida puris, we are also aware of the ill-effects of over-consumption. Maida (or all-purpose flour) is low on fibre. Maida products are mostly classified as 'bad carbs' as they get digested too quickly, causing a surge in blood sugar levels, they also leave you hungry soon. There are a plenty of alternatives that you can use in place of maida to cook yourself a delish and healthy fare. One fine example would be suji also known as rava or semolina.
Semolina flour is high in protein, folate thiamine and a range if B Vitamins. It is also enriched with selenium, which acts as a powerful antioxidant and ensure improved heart health. Suji-based dishes turn out to be lot more lighter and flavourful. Semolina has a pleasant flavour, hence it is used to make wide gamut of dishes - from cheela, halwa to panipuri.
