Our take

CleanPlate review

Paneer paratha with 25.6% paneer, 8.7 g saturated fat

Aashirvaad Paneer Paratha (Heat & Eat) is a 400 g pack of four frozen parathas with 25.6% paneer, marked veg. The panel is per 100 g; the listing shows cholesterol in grams but the pack prints milligrams, and the pack is used.

CleanPlate scores it DA4. The D for nutrition is low: only 10.6 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by wheat flour, paneer and onion), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.7 g per 100 g) and sodium (526 mg per 100 g).
