But Instead Of Eating Rice....... Roti/chapati Is Most Preferable........... I Think Roti/chapathi Is The Best One.....

Although If U Eat Large Quantities Of Rice.... It Dont Contain Much Calories.... It Will Just Widenup Ur Tummy......

So I Prefer Roti/chapathi
 
^ur wc sis. I dont think that's a lot of calories compared to a packet of walkers crisps which contain 181 calories. And one packet is never enough is it? :happy:

Rotis can vary in their calorie content depending on the grade of flour used. Brown wholemeal flour is the best. High in fibre and low GI. White flour is the worst.

Nutritionally brown rice is a good source of B vitamins and also contains calcium and phosphorous. The outer layers of rice contain mostly carbohydrate, minerals and a little protein and it is removed in white rice. Fibre content is also less. Brown rice is good for diabetic patients. The disadvantage of brown rice is that the small amount of bran present in brown rice contains anti-nutritional factors such as phytic acid, which inhibits the absorption of iron and calcium.http://www.bawarchi.com/health/queries27.html

I recommend taking vitamin C with iron to help absorption. And vitamin D with calcium.

oh yeah forgot bout the good ol brown flour lol.....yeah we'll use that instead inshaAlllah...i like brown flour anyway hehe....
So true bout walkers crisp, i've cut that out my diet alhamdulillah...only sooooometimes i'd have it, come on you gotta lol...
brown rice is really nice to have, bt so frustrating to cook, well i only cooked it once.....it takes loooooong, i was like man.....wheres my basmati!!
but nowadays we cut out rice (having it much less) cos that stuff is fattening...
thanks for all the tips sis
wassalaam
 
Np sis :D But for parathas light brown flour is the best. Umm.. I wish I'd never mentioned parathas before my breakfast. Cuz now I've got my mouth watering lol.

Oh and did you know you can also get low GI pasta? Oh and another thing. LOl, seems like brain is waking up bit by bit. There's a supplemet called Phase 2, which is suppose to neutralise the carbs you eat. Umm wonder if that's safe though? Take it at your own risk! ;D
 
LOoool you got my stomach working too...i haven't had parathas in ages !!
Nah man them supplemnt thingy majiggies..*shakes head* Allah kareem...lol...no way, i like everything natural...
pardon my ignorance but whats GI?
thanks again
wassalaam
 
I can not tell the difference between flour tortillas and chapatis. Does anyone know if there is a difference?
 
Um... i know what chapatis are, but i'm not familiar with flour tortillas so i couldn't differentiate akhee....
perhaps ukhtee muslimah_sis knows,
wassalaam
 
umm sulaim you make roti too!! I never knew that ;D

I make roti eeeeevery sunday and saturday.....that's the only part of Yemen that my father just cannot give up, in yemen we had roti for breakfast all the time you know.....and i'm so tired of making roti's you can't imagine. Not tired of the taste yet though :D but it's all the kneading and rolling and stuff...ugh..

We used to make ours with just white flour, but then recently we switched to 'all healthy' :rollseyes so we use just brown flour now with just a little white flour thrown in.......and it's pretty ok you know!!!

Oh yeah...you can also get organic white flour also :D Life doesn't just have to be painted with that dreary brown flour ......:giggling:
 
I had Roti for lunch...

..had rice for dinner.

Lol @ bro zAk...

mawaddah...yeah we have roti too...my mum wants us to make it more often, that and la7uu7, you remember it?
she's teaching economics lol....but i really like it, actually come to think of it we have brown and white mixed too...thats my mums favourite...
my auntie umm sulaymans mum makes the best chapatis, i take it from her while they're still hot drizzle honey on it and drink my semi skimmed milk....breakfast is sorted lol...
we also have something that is similar to khubz 3adeni...do you remeber that, its square and quite flakey and layered, but we don't add as much oil as they do...
But man all that flour....ya Allah!!
Good you switched healthy mashaAllah...we have to look after our health sa7..
wassalaam
 
:sl:

how about having them brown rotis then. thats all healthy (and dont taste as nice)

or dont dose on the butter after the roti is done
 
:salamext:


My mom used to make roti with that whole meal flour in the past.. but now we use Barley Flour instead, because it's been mentioned within alot of ahadith, and it's really healthy for you insha'Allaah.



While some of us may assume that this cure is always in the form of a medicine or herbs, the Hadith does not state that. In fact, two of the greatest cures Allah has given us for heart disease are foods that the Prophet (Sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam) ate: whole wheat and barley.


Both provide multiple benefits in the fight against heart disease as they both lower cholesterol, increase proper elimination of wastes by the body, facilitate proper blood clotting, and improve general circulation and cellular health.

When Sahl bin Sad was asked, "Did Allah's Apostle ever eat white flour?" he replied, "Allah's Apostle never saw white flour [from the time] Allah sent him as an Apostle till He took him unto Him."

Modern science has long been against processed breads, even when they are supposedly "enriched." E. Cheraskin, in his book Diet and Disease, compares enriching white flour with "robbing someone in a dark alley of their clothes and wallet, and then giving them back their underclothes and bus money to get home." In addition to the fact that white flour has no nutritional value, it can leech vitamins and minerals from the body as well. This is because nutrient-void foods do not supply all of the nutrients that are needed for their digestion; hence, they must take the nutrients that are lacking from the body. White flour can even mimic white sugar, creating problems for the hypoglycemic or diabetic person (Pritchard, Healing with Whole Foods).

According to nutritionists Jean Anderson and Barbara Deskin, whole-wheat flour, high in protein and fiber, is far superior in nutrition to white flour. Whole grain wheat contains a large amount of Vitamin E, mostly concentrated in its germ layer. Research on the Vitamin E found in wheat discovered that of 31,000 people studied, those who ate whole wheat bread had a much lower risk of heart disease than those who ate white bread. Michael H. Davidson, MD, president of the Chicago Center for Clinical Research, says that this is because the Vitamin E in wheat causes the liver to produce less cholesterol. He found that subjects in his study who consumed ½-cup of wheat germ daily for 14 weeks saw their cholesterol levels drop by seven percent.

Although wheat has undeniable health benefits, we need to be aware of the dangers of its overuse. Eaten daily, whole wheat can be detrimental to the health as it causes bloating in many people and often encourages the growth of unfriendly (candida albicanus) bacteria in the colon. It can also encourage weight gain and cause allergic reactions in many people when overeaten.

It is revealing that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not indulge in regular wheat consumption, but ate instead mostly barley and bread made from barley flour. Abu Hazim narrated (in Sahih Bukhari) that he asked the Prophet (SAW), "Did you use to sift barley flour?" The Prophet answered, "No, but we used to blow off the husk (of the barley)."


Barley is so easily digested that the Prophet even recommended that barley soup (talbiyah) be used for all stomach ailments (Sahih Bukhari). Possessing even more health benefits than wheat, barley is extremely high in calcium and protein, and is far less allergenic. It does not encourage bloating or unhealthy bacterial growth; therefore, while wheat is healthful, barley is better for daily consumption.

One of the richest sources of tocotrienols, powerful antioxidants that help reduce damage to the body from dangerous oxygen molecules called free radicals, barley also reduces the body’s production of cholesterol in the liver. David Jenkins, MD, professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto says, “Tocotrienols are potentially more powerful antioxidants than other chemical versions of vitamin E.” Barley is also a lot more affordable than most vitamin E supplements on the market. Furthermore, it contains lignana, found to prevent tiny blood clots from forming – perhaps providing a similar benefit to the recently popular “daily dose of aspirin” against heart disease. Just one-half cup of barley contains half the daily requirement for selenium in the diet and almost twenty-percent of the USRDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of Vitamin E. Both of these have been found to be powerful allies in the fight against cancer.


Barley also contains beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that forms a gel in the small intestine to which cholesterol binds and is then excreted from the body. This gel forming action also prevents constipation and colon cancer.

To get barley’s healing benefits, it is recommended by health experts that it be eaten in the same way that the Prophet (SAW) did. Hulled barley (the husk loosely intact or “blown off”) is superior to processed barley which has been cleaned and scrubbed more than five times to create a quicker-cooking version that lacks most of barley’s healthful fiber, minerals and thiamin.

Well I guess tortillas are the mexican version of rotis. Only asians break off bits to scoup up their curry with it and tortillas are used as wraps. I also make wraps with roti. Yum yum! :statisfie
