Veggies can add nutrients and extra fibre to your besan cheela. They will make it more satiating, meaning you'll feel fuller for longer.

Don't use too much salt or oil while making your besan cheela. Otherwise, it won't be as weight-loss-friendly as you want it to be.

Don't eat your besan cheela with ready-made side dishes that are high in sugar and calories. Opt for chutneys/dips made fresh at home.
