Malabar Parota — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Malabar Parota by Malabar Parota TREAT — score 45/90.

Layered refined-flour flatbread laminated with oil. Short, simple ingredient list, but it's basically white-flour-and-fat carbs with little nutrition.

Why this verdict

• Refined wheat flour (maida) is the base, so it's mostly fast-digesting starch with little fiber
• Layered and cooked with oil, adding significant fat and calories
• Low in protein and fiber, high glycemic load
• Ingredient list is short and additive-free, which keeps it out of engineered territory

Ingredients (4)

• Wheat flour (refined/maida) (moderate) — Refined flour stripped of bran and germ; digests fast and spikes blood sugar with little fiber.
• Oil (cholesterol-free vegetable oil) (moderate) — Adds fat and calories for the flaky layers; 'cholesterol-free' is true of all plant oils and means little here.
• RO & UV water (safe) — Purified water for the dough; nutritionally neutral.
• Iodised Salt (safe) — Adds sodium and iodine; fine in moderation.
