Here’s the thing: eating for hormonal health or weight loss doesn’t mean giving up comfort food. It just means upgrading it.

These Millet Lauki Parathas are soft, flavourful, and deeply satisfying—without the blood sugar spikes that come with regular wheat parathas. They’re low GI, rich in fibre, and gentle on digestion, making them a smart everyday option if you’re managing PCOD, working on weight loss, or simply trying to eat better without overthinking it.

This is the kind of recipe that quietly does the work for you. No drama. No fancy techniques. Just thoughtful ingredients coming together.

Why this recipe works

  • PCOD‑friendly: High fibre, low GI grains help support insulin balance and hormonal health

  • Weight‑loss supportive: Keeps you fuller for longer and reduces unnecessary snacking

  • Low GI swap: A better alternative to regular whole‑wheat parathas

  • Everyday comfort: Familiar flavours, zero compromise on taste

Ingredients (Makes 3 Parathas)

  • ½ large lauki (bottle gourd), peeled and grated

  • 1 medium sized onion

  • 1 small piece of ginger

  • 1 green chilli ( can vary depending on the spice level you can handle)

  • Salt to taste

  • 1 tsp red chilli powder

  • ½ tsp haldi (turmeric) powder

  • 1 tsp jeera (cumin seeds)

  • ½ tsp ajwain (carom seeds)

  • 1 cup Indy Treats Sprouted Millet & Seed Mix

  • Oil or ghee for cooking

Indy Treats Sprouted Millet & Seed Mix combines sprouted bajra with lotus seeds and pumpkin seeds—designed for better nutrient absorption and everyday nourishment.

Method

  1. In a broad bowl, add the grated lauki.

  2. Make a paste using onion, ginger, and green chilli. Add this to the lauki.

  3. Add salt, red chilli powder, haldi, jeera, and ajwain. Mix well.

  4. Add Indy Treats Sprouted Millet & Seed Mix.

  5. Do not add water initially. Lauki releases enough moisture to bind the dough.

  6. Knead into a soft dough. Add a little water only if absolutely needed.

  7. Divide the dough into portions and roll into parathas.

  8. Cook on a hot tawa using oil or ghee, flipping until both sides are golden and cooked through.

And you’re done. Simple, honest food that shows up for your health.

 

How to enjoy these parathas

  • Pair with curd or homemade chutney for a balanced meal

  • Works well for breakfast, lunch, or light dinner

  • Great for family meals—no separate “diet food” required
