3 Wheat Free Rotis for Weight Loss: Sujjig Roti, Missi Roti & Rawa Thepla

Rotis, chapatis, parathas, and breads have been the backbone of Indian meals for years. They have been an essential part of our thali, offering comfort, nourishment, and tradition. Recently, however, people have become more mindful of gluten sensitivity, weight management, weight loss and the body’s different digestive requirements.

This awareness led people to revisit wheat-free rotis made from pulses, millets, and other varieties of ingredients that have been part of the Indian diet for years. These alternative types of rotis are not about replacing chakki fresh atta rotis, but to add variety in daily meals while managing gluten sensitivity and dietary needs for the body

Today, Apple Foods Kitchen has come up with three traditional rotis that fit amazingly well with both traditional and modern diets.

1. Sujjig Roti made with Apple Suji

Apple Suji is lighter in texture and nourishing in nature.

2. Missi Roti made with Apple Besan

Naturally gluten-free

As Apple Besan is made from the finest chana dal, it does not contain gluten, making it a suitable choice for gluten-sensitive people.

Rich in plant-based protein

For vegetarians, chana is considered a good source of protein. Being made from chana dal, Apple Besan helps maintain muscle health and keeps the body nourished.
