I love besan chilla and dhokla, basically anything besan and im eating it almost daily now. Im 5 months pregnant and just wondering if too much of it is fine or not. Anyone?
Besan is quite wholesome, you know. My nani used to say it's good for energy and strength, especially when pregnant. You can make so many things with it at home, like a besan halwa for a sweet craving or a savory cheela. But seriously, if you have any specific dietary concerns, always ask your doctor.
I remember checking my pregnancy app for nutrition info, and besan usually showed up as a good pulse! It's rich in folate and iron, which are super important. Just track your portion sizes, I'd say, and make sure it's part of a balanced diet.
Besan can be good in pregnancy, haan. It's a good source of protein and helps keep you full. Just make sure to eat it in moderation and properly cooked, like a cheela or in a light curry.
Oh, my mom and MIL used to make so many things with besan for me! Cheela, ladoos... they said it's good for strength. I felt very nourished being with them. It’s comforting food, just make sure to keep it healthy, not too much oil.
Haan, besan is totally fine. We've been eating it for ages in our Indian cooking. Just don't overdo it with pakoras everyday, okay? Stick to healthier options like besan cheela or a light curry, and enjoy it.
Actually, besan is quite nutritious! It has good protein content, which is important for baby's growth. I made sure to add it to my diet, maybe as a dosa or cheela, but always confirmed with my gynac about my overall meal plan first.
