Karachi: (RightNow). A hot paratha is a breakfast favorite for many, but which fat—ghee, butter, or oil—is healthier for cooking it?

Health experts say it’s impossible to label one fat as entirely healthy or harmful. Both the type and amount of fat used in parathas are crucial.

Desi ghee enhances the flavor and aroma of parathas but contains high saturated fat. Those with heart disease or excess weight should limit ghee intake.

Butter also has high saturated fat. Use it sparingly or lightly spread on parathas. It’s better to avoid daily excessive butter consumption.

It is important to note that choosing between ghee, oil, or butter is crucial when making parathas, but the quantity cannot be ignored. Frying parathas in excessive fat can increase calorie content.
