In the present study, dried fenugreek powder was incorporated with wheat flour in various proportions such as 5%, 10% and 15% and used for the preparation of diaflourchapathi. The various proportions mixed with wheat flour were undergone for organoleptically evaluated with the trained panel members and the physicochemical properties were also analyzed. The present study concluded that the 5% dried fenugreek powder incorporated chapathi got maximum scoring for overall acceptability. Quantitative analysis showed that the energy, protein, fat, crude fibre, iron and phosphorus contents were 335 Kcal, 11.75 g, 0.5 g, 1 g, 4.5 mg and 308 mg respectively in 100 g of 5% dried fenugreek powder incorporated chapathi. So, 5% fenugreek incorporated chapathi can be used as a supplement for diabetic patients in order to control the blood glucose level.

In the present study, dried fenugreek powder was incorporated with wheat flour in various proportions such as 5%, 10% and 15% and used for the preparation of diaflourchapathi. The various proportions mixed with wheat flour were undergone for organoleptically evaluated with the trained panel members and the physicochemical properties were also analyzed. The present study concluded that the 5% dried fenugreek powder incorporated chapathi got maximum scoring for overall acceptability. Quantitative analysis showed that the energy, protein, fat, crude fibre, iron and phosphorus contents were 335 Kcal, 11.75 g, 0.5 g, 1 g, 4.5 mg and 308 mg respectively in 100 g of 5% dried fenugreek powder incorporated chapathi. So, 5% fenugreek incorporated chapathi can be used as a supplement for diabetic patients in order to control the blood glucose level.
