Which method makes chapati more suitable in a soft diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Soften small pieces with dal or vegetable gravy
Cutting chapati into small pieces and moistening it with soft dal or vegetable gravy reduces dryness, hardness and the amount of chewing required. The pieces should be soft and cohesive rather than sticky or difficult to control. The patient’s chewing and swallowing ability must still be considered before serving this modification.
