Our take

CleanPlate review

Simple paratha, but the panel is thin

Aashirvaad Aloo Paratha (Heat & Eat) is a frozen paratha of atta dough filled with potato (25.2%), onion, green chilli and chat masala, made with refined corn oil and one emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides). The pack is 400 g for four parathas.

CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by potato, onion and green chilli and wheat flour), with additives that cost points: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (610 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (2.5 g per 100 g).

    Potato, atta, corn oil and spices make up almost all of it.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Frozen parathas are heavily processed"

This one is potato, atta, oil and spices, with one emulsifier.

Myth: "Aloo paratha is a light meal"

At 230 kcal per 100 g a paratha is mostly carbohydrate with little protein and no declared fibre.
