Suji cheela, a popular Indian breakfast made from semolina, boasts several benefits. “Rich in energy and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, suji cheela is a quick and easy-to-make option ideal for busy mornings. Its versatility allows for customisation to suit individual preferences,” said Sushma PS, chief dietician, Jindal Naturecure Institute.

The inclusion of vegetables and curd amplifies its nutritional value and taste.

“Vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers bring additional vitamins, minerals, and fibre, enhancing the overall nutrient content. The vibrant mix of flavours and textures makes suji cheela a delightful and nourishing dish,” said Sushma.

Curd, when added, not only contributes to a creamier texture but also brings probiotics that support gut health and digestion. “Moreover, the protein content gets a boost, making it an appealing option for those seeking protein-rich breakfasts,” Sushma said.

The combination of suji with vegetables and curd adds variety to the dish, ensuring a wholesome and satisfying meal. “Suji cheela with these enhancements becomes a delicious and nutritious choice, offering a quick, customisable, and flavourful start to the day,” said Sushma.

Low in calories

Suji cheela with vegetables and curd can be a satisfying, low-calorie option for those watching their calorie intake. “It offers a flavourful alternative to higher-calorie breakfast or snack choices,” said Dr Somnath Gupta, senior consultant, physician, and diabetologist, Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad.

Digestible carbohydrates

Suji provides complex carbohydrates that are digested slowly, providing a steady release of energy. “This can help in maintaining energy levels throughout the day,” Dr Gupta said.

Gut health

The probiotics in curd contribute to a healthy gut microbiota. Maintaining a balanced and diverse gut microbiome is associated with various health benefits.

Weight management

The combination of suji, vegetables, and curd can contribute to a feeling of fullness, potentially aiding in weight management by reducing the likelihood of overeating, added Dr Gupta.
