Tamannaah Bhatia's fitness trainer tells the benefits of mustard greens and maize roti

In winter, Sarson ka Saag and Makka Di Roti are the pride of traditional food of Punjabis. Not only in Punjab but all over the country people like to eat Makka Di Roti with Mustard Ka Saag. Its taste is considered incomplete without butter or desi ghee. If you are a Punjabi or a food lover then how can you skip mustard greens and maize roti in the winter season, but in today's time many people have become fitness freaks and due to this they feel that they might increase their weight. Tamannaah Bhatia's fitness trainer Siddharth Singh is also a Punjabi and he himself has told what are its benefits and how you can balance the protein also.

Mustard greens and corn roti are already a treasure trove of nutrients, but if you are a fitness freak and are worried about protein in your diet, then learn from fitness trainer Tamannaah Bhatia about two ways by which you can keep yourself fit by eating mustard greens, corn roti and desi ghee. Let us know in details.

Mustard greens-corn bread and desi ghee

Siddharth Singh says that many times people think that I cannot eat mustard greens, corn roti and desi ghee on it because I am a fitness freak, but this is wrong. My father also used to eat it, my mother, grandfather and I also eat it. Maize roti is a good source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber is found in mustard greens, while desi ghee is a healthy fat. Although you will not get protein from this, there are two ways.

Two ways to add protein to the diet

Siddharth says that when it comes to adding protein to this meal, you can either add protein rich foods to the previous meal or you can eat yogurt with mustard greens and corn roti, or you can take cheese so that it will be completely balanced. This does not mean that I will stop eating my authentic Punjabi food, because these are our roots.

Corn Nutrients

According to the US Department of Agriculture, maize contains protein, different types of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin C, B complex, carotene beta, vitamin A, and fatty acids.

Note: Corn bread contains a limited amount of corn flour, so it cannot supply protein. At the same time, some nutrients are reduced during flour grinding.

Nutrients of Mustard Greens

According to Health Line, many minerals including protein, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, E, A, K, copper are also found in mustard greens. The nature of both these things is warming, hence this is an excellent meal for winters. Desi ghee is also a source of Vitamin A and D.
