Small, doable moves that keep one shared breakfast: make parathas smaller or roll thinner and serve an extra protein side (plain/Greek-style curd or raita, omelette or egg bhurji, or a quick sprouts salad). Fold protein/fibre into the dough—replace 10–30% flour with besan/soya/chickpea or ragi; grate veggies into the dough for volume. Use high-protein stuffings (paneer, mashed moong/dal, tofu/soya) and cook with less oil on a non-stick pan. Make a batch of spiced dal/moong paste or paneer bhurji ahead and use as a filling or spread. These swaps raise protein and fibre, slow digestion, and increase satiety with little extra prep or fuss.
