Sooji or aata? Nutritionist reveals which golgappa shell is better for your health

Choosing between sooji and aata for gol gappas can affect health, though neither option can be considered a health food. Nutritionist Sadhna Singh warns that while fiber content in whole-wheat aata may provide a slight nutritional advantage, the difference is not significant enough to transform gol gappas into a healthy meal. The biggest factor remains the deep-frying process and the potato-rich filling, which contribute to the high calorie content.

Opting for whole-wheat aata, if available, is the better choice nutritionally, but the key to enjoying gol gappas responsibly lies in moderation and choosing healthier fillings when possible.
