Frozen potato and whole wheat paratha, no additives

Haldiram's Aloo Paratha (Frozen) is a frozen paratha of potatoes (60%) and whole wheat flour (27%) with refined sunflower oil, water, salt, coriander, ginger, green chilli, mint and spices.

CleanPlate scores it EA2. 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 potatoes, whole wheat flour and refined sunflower oil), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 580 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 1 g per 100 g).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Potatoes (60%), whole wheat flour (27%), refined sunflower oil, water, salt, coriander leaves, ginger, green chilli, mint leaves, red chilli powder and spices (coriander, cumin, mango powder, dried fenugreek leaves, black pepper powder).

Per 100 g: 240 kcal, 10 g fat of which 1 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 2 g fibre, 4 g protein, 580 mg sodium. The panel is per 1 piece (100 g) and prints sodium as 580 g, read as 580 mg; it also prints 16 servings per pack against a 400 g net quantity, which is taken from the earlier record. The user confirmed this is the plain Aloo Paratha, not the Aloo Pyaz one. Total sugar prints 0 g.

Ingredients to watch

  • SodiumWorth watching

    580 mg per 100 g, about one third of the risk load.

  • PanelWorth watching

    The sodium unit is misprinted and the servings per pack do not match 400 g.

  • IngredientsFine

    Potato and whole wheat atta are 87% of the list, with no additive.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Frozen paratha needs preservatives"

The list has no preservative or other additive.

Myth: "Whole wheat means high fibre"

The panel prints 2 g of fibre per 100 g, below the source line.

Smarter ways to eat it

Cook it on a dry tawa

It keeps the added butter or oil off the 240 kcal per piece.

Serve with curd

Curd adds the protein the paratha lacks.
