Is Sweet Faraali Pancakes healthy?

Made from sama, buckwheat, coocnut, jaggery and banana.

Let's understand the Ingredients.

What's good.

Sanwa Millet ( Sama, Barnyard Millets) : Like most millets, sanwa millet is also high in protein. Moreover, sanwa millet has the least calories and carbs as compared to other millets like jowar, bajra, ragi. With a good amount of fiber, phosphorus and magnesium, there is no reason for heart patients to avoid this millet. It will keep a check on your cholesterol levels and blood pressure both. Small amount of same should be had by diabetics. See detailed benefits of sanwa millet. 

Coconut : The fresh coconut has saturated fats but most of it is MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) which promote weight loss. The high fibre content 13.6 gm (45.3% of RDA) along with high lauric acid content of coconut improves cholesterol levels in the body. Improving the action of insulin secretion and lowering the raised blood sugar levels is yet another benefit of coconut for Diabetics. See here for 10 amazing benefits of coconut.  

Banana : Banana is high in potassium. Potassium helps normalize the heartbeat and regulates the body's water balance. Bananas have low sodium content and high potassium content, and contribute for making it an ideal fruit for hypertensives. See the 7 incredible benefits of banana. 

What's the problem?

Jaggery (Gur) : When compared to sugar, which provides only empty calories, jaggery is considered to be a superior natural sweetener. Sugar is definitely one of the causes of many chronic diseases, but jaggery too needs to be consumed in moderate amounts. What you would consume is just about a tbsp (18 g) or a tsp (6 g). While those with heart diseases and weight loss can have a dessert made with this quantity of jaggery occasionally as an option to refined sugar, but diabetics need to avoid this sweetener too as it can spike blood sugar levels instantly.
