Nutritionist, Jonna Priyanka believes that dosas, “when eaten as per your portions, it helps in losing weight and healing health.” She explains that in everyday dosa, we are used to having basically three parts of rice with one part of urad dal, which results in consumption of less protein and more carbs.

The expert mentioned that a common mistake people, who want to lose weight, make is that “get into a calorie deficit”, it means eating less than what is required by body. But what we should instead do, is look for nutritious food. Jonna Priyanka suggests replacing a normal dosa with a special bottle gourd moong dal dosa. This will ensure that our body gets the required amount of protein, fibre along with carbs.
