Importance of Wheat Flour/Atta in Indian diet

wheat flour roti chapati phulka nutrition health benefit indian food

One of the most common food item as part of an Indian meal is Chapati/Roti/Phulka made out of wheat flour or commonly known as Atta.


Wheat flour has many benefits. One of the them is that it is a great source of fiber. Since it is usually a part of our Indian daily diet it helps by contributing to the fiber intake required by our body. I personally hence prefer roti/chapati/phulka prepared with wheat flour rather than all-purpose flour which is extremely low in terms of fiber content.


I would recommend to switch to whole wheat flour instead of refined flour for better fiber intake.

Cuddly Morsel About Me

About me

Welcome to CuddlyMorsel - a nutrition and health focused platform, started by me - Ritika Wadhawan. I am a certified nutritionist and dietitian, based out of Mumbai.

As far back as I can recall, since childhood, a major chunk of my memories and stories have revolved around food. It could be sitting in the kitchen with my grandma and observing her cook or a vivid memory of a mango shake stall we visited frequently. I guess I owe it to my love for food and cooking that I was able to learn a few recipes and how to cook them at a very early age. While I was doing my graduation, post-graduation and corporate jobs, my relationship with food & cooking kept growing stronger, and I started giving my own twists to every recipe that I had ever learnt.

Realizing that food and everything related to it is what I am most passionate about, I started CuddlyMorsel. I have tried to document here my learnings, observations and findings around food by categorizing it into nutrition, healthy cooking, healthy living and some interesting food stories.

I hope you enjoy reading up and build a healthy relationship with food. Cheers!
