In ‘Maverick Messiah’, Ramesh Kandula writes about the former Andhra chief minister’s push for Telugu — whether through ornate speeches or in Nawabi Hyderabad.
In 'The Bengal Conundrum', Sambit Pal writes about how Mamata Banerjee chides her MLAs and MPs in front of bureaucrats and police officials, sometimes on TV.
In ‘Nathdwara Paintings from the Anil Relia Collection’, Kalyan Krishna and Kay Talwar write about a town in Rajasthan that completely revolved around Krishna.
The issue of inequality has assumed the blazing limelight at a time when inequality in India is said to be higher than it was in the British Raj. It's a ripe situation for half-truths and incendiary statements.
Speaking at launch of economist Surjit Bhalla’s book, S Jaishankar also highlights Gen Z’s engagement with ‘reel culture’, which has 'promoted awareness, created interest in many subjects'.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Very misleading article!!comparing 100 gm of cooked dal to 100 gm of maida,what a load of bullcrap.
100 gm of maida has around 11 gm of. Protein while 100 gm of dal has around 20-22 gm protein,almost twice the protein.And,lets not forget that maida has only a third of the vitamin b1 ,folate as atta or that maida has only a quarter of the magnesium as atta.Whike consuming small portion of it or once in awhile is okay(in india where white flour,white rice is unenriched) ,consuming a predominantly maida rich diet can easily cause deficiencies.
Ye zindagi ke mele, ye zindagi ke mele..
Duniya mey kam na honge afsos hum na honge…
Duniya hai mauj-e-dariya katregi zindagi kya,
Pani me mil ke pani anjam ye ke pani…sssss
Almost all dieticians and scientists are very clear that the maida is not good for health as compared to lentils entire write up is weird. Its misleading. Do not encourage such articles. If u cannot do good atleast don’t spread bad unproven information.
when I have seen the article I rubbed my eyes to confirm that what I am seeing is correct.
” In fact, 100 g of the much-maligned Maida (which is more or less similar to the all-purpose flour of the West) has about the same amount of protein as 100 g of cooked toor dal”
The comparison is between 100 gm Maida and 100 gram cocked dal. But 35 mgs of raw dal when cooked becomes 100 gms. It is deliberate misrepresentation of facts. And it claims and the author is an expert . Print should should have good editorial /cross checking practices in place.
Mr. Ashok…. Your article us a sigh of relief to those who are used to white bread….. Manchurian dishes….. Nooodles…….. That’s y children addicted to these food stuffs still grew with good body mass……. I’m sure you article was never meant to recommend people to eat maida as against lentils or millets….. It was just an observation delivered to sat…. It’s not all that bad?. … Frankly speaking I’m not a mom whi is overtly bothered about calorie count as far as my kids eat freshly prepared home cooked food with indian food crops and vegies….. I donno y people overreact to any different thought in any subject…. Like this and still worst…. Tag it as anti nationalist……. They need some Indian farm grown food for thought? bloody organic frieks!!
Lentils is masoor and masoor only, it is a legume; please do not use word lentils for other pulses, beans and legumes.
Maida is not whole wheat flour and is therefore without fibre, now the west is also realising that all purpose flour is not a healthy option and especially after the pandemic, there is stress on healthy eating and comparing maida with dal is like comparing apples and oranges.
A simple fact, a 5000yr old civilization and food habits is time tested and can’t be wrong. Everyday new details comes out which validates that our food habits are much better.
The only adjustments that needs to be done is go out and work. Not just eat the heavy diet.
Maida has nearly four times the amount of carbs to deliver the same amount of protein. It also has way lesser fibre and more sugar. Controversial title to the article just to get clicks
Most bullshit story I have ever read. Shame on “The so called Print”. Promoting maida as protein source or even thinking about wrting it down online showcase the wicked sense of mind. Aren’t you aware of the challenges people already facing consuming “Your Protein Source Maida” on everday basis?
Aren’t you aware of its glicemic index or its insulin spiking factor? Aren’t you aware that it stays in the itestines for much longer period to actually rott inside the body?
And you F* stupid are talking about its protein content and comparing it with pulses. STOP misleading innocent people with your BS article titles and get a real job!!
your article about Maida vs dal protein content is absolutely not true as 1 cross section of the wheat grain has 85% Carbohydrates,13% protein ,1.5% iron and .5% alcohol. When Maida or refined flour is milled the outer brown husk and covering is discarded , Where the protein content is present. The gluten which is a protein cannot be used by the body. As it is difficult to digest. Wash a small round piece of maida dough in water for 5 continuous days and what is left over is a rubbery substance called gluten. Gluten does impart certain qualities to a dough but definitely not protein nutrition to the body. Maida is bad. Period. Would like to know what method you used to arrive at your article. ?
Misleading article

Too much knowledge has led all to get scared of foods to consume with guilt. If consumed in moderation nothing really goes wrong anytime.
Pathetic. Maida has no fibre and hence mere protein is of use.
Give some money….they make, shit also Hero as they have more protein than any.
Have some sense print.
All nonsense

This is a story created by person interested in selling Maida. Print should have vetted this article. Calling print to remove this asap

Bashing BJP was acceptable (read as democracy), but this sounds bizarre (showing maida as a hero).
Falàe and misleading. Maida is made from wheat, which has 12% Protein. Dals have 20+ percent proteins. The two are not comparable.
That is it. Now I am sure that ThePrint is both anti-national and anti-humanity. Maida aur sugar khiwake sabko marvayeinge ye.

Protein level ko bazu rakho…..hagne k time malum padega dal aur maide me fark..
Very informative.
Masala lab is doing a commendable job and keeping it as simple as possible to explain all intricacies
Quoted claims need a fact check
Yes.
An article written without any data. I don’t know who is promoting this.
