Was craving nankhatai badly today and ate two, then started wondering if its fine with all the ghee and sugar. Im in second trimester. Is occasional ek dum theek hai or better to avoid?
When I was at my parents' place, my mother used to bake fresh, healthy atta nankhatais for me at home. Try home-baked ones if you can, they are much better for you.
I panicked after eating three of them, thinking the baking soda would harm the baby! But my doctor laughed and said it's totally fine, so enjoy it in moderation.
If you don't have gestational diabetes, a small piece is fine. But if you have any complications or high sugar, please ask your doctor before eating sweets.
My doctor told me that occasional sweet cravings are fine, but high-refined flour foods like nankhatai should be limited to avoid rapid weight gain or sugar spikes.
