Preparations are in full swing for the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant. 

Just recently, Reliance Foundation Founder and Chairperson Nita Ambani visited Kashi Vishwanath Temple to seek blessings and offered the first wedding invitation to Lord Shiva. Many videos went viral on social media regarding Nita Ambani's visit to a snack shop in Varanasi where she enjoyed aloo chaat. While enjoying these snacks, Nita Ambani also spoke to the locals about her husband Mukesh Ambani's favourite snacks.

Nita Ambani revealed that not only Mukesh Ambani but her entire family mostly prefer home-cooked food. Mukesh Ambani, who is a vegetarian, eats out only once a week and has a strict diet that he adheres to, Nita Ambani said.

Revealing Mukesh Ambani's favourite snack, Nita Ambani said that he loves to eat the Gujarati snack panki, made of rice flour batter topped with cheese.

Let us tell you that this snack that Mukesh Ambani enjoys is prepared in banana leaves and contains fenugreek leaves and spices like turmeric, which makes it a healthy indulgence. It is usually enjoyed with achaar or chutney on the side.

Here are some health benefits of eating the Gujarati snack panki

• Since panki is cooked between banana leaves it adds to the natural aroma and flavour. The leaves also contain natural antimicrobial properties that help to kill harmful bacteria present in food.
• Panki has carbs from rice flour and vitamins, and minerals from fenugreek. Made with minimal ghee or oil, its fat content is also low, which makes it a healthy snack.
• Since panki is made from rice flour, it is naturally gluten-free. It also is rich in fibre which aids digestion.
• Panki is low in calories, and fat, is gluten-free, and can easily be a part of your weight loss diet as well.
• Panki has a low glycemic index and when it is prepared with yogurt, it also adds protein to the dish, which helps to keep you fuller for a long time.
