Hello good morning,
Yes 1paratha she can take once a week but be sure it should be made of multigrain aata and home made ghee. No refined flour and refined oil should be there. Missi roti or green veg stuff paratha also she can take for a change and in nutrition point of view. The sprouts you are giving her should not be fried for any kind like toss fry, pan fry, shallow fry. It should only be soaked overnight and boiled.
Next Steps
The balance diet she needs to maintain her good health . For further help you may consult to me on practo in between 9-11pm. with her all details like foods she likes and dislikes, good allergy if she has any. her daily dietary routine and lifestyle, daily activities and all such things.

Hi
Yes you can give her roti or parantha with little pure ghee or butter made with mixed grain atta. Do not use refined oil in cooking. Use cold pressed filtered oil.
Give her fruits and fresh seasonal vegetables every day. You can grate carrots, beetroot and then knead the dough. You can also add moringa leaf powder while making dough.
Vegetables khitchri, oats, उपमा, poha she can have.
Give her low fat milk and curd. Avoid biscuits, bakery products.
Thanks

You can give her parantha made with Desi ghee. Use multigrain or millet flour and use Desi ghee in cooking instead of any refined oils like safola gold. There is a myth ghee increase cardiac problem or cholesterol. Only 20% cholesterol body received from food rest 80% made by liver.
Next Steps
She is cardiac patient immediately avoid giving any kind of refined oils for better health health. Give her 2-3 spoon Desi ghee or MCT oil. Do not use MCT oil for cooking use for dressing in sabzi, soup or salad.

I agree one paratha in a week, but if you give fruits and sprouts in her breakfast and Prelunch so ypu can give paratha in lunch or dinner . But stop using too refined oil use other seed base oil and more desi cow ghee not branded one.ask her to walk and do breathing exercises then she can eat paratha. Food which don't give satatiy then it will not give nutrition tooo.
