CleanPlate review

Cabbage and flour dumplings with a little paneer

Prasuma Veg and Paneer Momos are frozen dumplings of cabbage, refined wheat flour (maida), onion, paneer, butter, carrot, refined soyabean oil, ginger, chilli and spices, with a flavour enhancer (INS 631). The listing says a momo sauce comes inside the pack.

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 a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by cabbage, refined wheat flour and onion), with additives that cost points: a flavour enhancer. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (373 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.7 g per 100 g).
