Is sooji high calorie food?

Yeah, it definitely has high calorie content. A cup of sooji has approximately 601 calories. It also has high carbohydrate content of about 41% and fat about 3%. Its glycemic index is also quite high. All this makes it quite unappealing from the nutrition point of view. But, like other cereals, it also has plenty of vitamins and minerals. Its fiber content is also ok. You can make a variety of tasty dishes with sooji like upma, idly, dhokla, sweet halwa etc. Gorging on these delicacies once in a while will not do any great damage, what say?
