Upwas Puri is a traditional Indian dish primarily consumed during religious fasting days, particularly in North and Western India. Made from ingredients permissible during fasts, such as water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta), buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta), or amaranth flour (rajgira atta), it is deep-fried in ghee or oil. These flours are gluten-free and rich in fiber, minerals, and antioxidants, making Upwas Puri a nutritious choice during fasting. However, the deep-frying process adds significant calories and fat, making moderation essential for health-conscious individuals. Typically enjoyed with curd, potatoes, or peanut chutney, Upwas Puri showcases the culinary ingenuity of Indian fasting traditions, balancing flavor with dietary restrictions. While it offers energy-packed nutrition during fasting, mindful preparation and portion sizes are recommended to optimize its health benefits while minimizing excess fat intake.
