Puri Sabji | Diabetic-Friendly Lauki Poori Sabzi
Puri sabji (sabzi) is one of the famous traditional Indian foods. It has two main components: puri and sabzi. Puri is deep-fried bread made with flour, its color looks golden brown after deep frying.
Sabji, also called "subzi" or "sabzi," is a vegetable dish that can be made with a particular vegetable or multiple vegetables as a mixed veg. Here, we make "lauki ki sabzi", which is very tasty with puri.
Puri sabzi is popular for lunch and special occasions throughout India. Many people consider puri sabzi as traveling food and school lunches for their kids.
The main problem is puri and sabzi, which have high glycemic load ingredients. Most people use regular flour to make puri, which is not considered healthy for people with diabetes.
For this recipe, we will take Diabexy atta instead of ordinary atta because Diabexy atta has a low glycemic load, making it ideal for diabetics and a healthy choice for health-conscious people. Diabexy Atta's glycemic load is only 7 compared to 50-60 of other regular flours. It is made with healthy nuts and seeds. Diabexy atta doesn't impact your blood sugar level but also helps reduce your sugar level.
