CleanPlate reviewFrozen potato-stuffed paratha with palm-based fat
Bikano Heat & Eat Frozen Aloo Paratha is a 400 g pack of four parathas stuffed with boiled potato (39.3%) in a wheat atta and maida dough, with refined palmolein oil and an interesterified palm-based fat.
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, wheat flour and refined wheat flour), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (621 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3 g per 100 g).
