Are you trying to eat healthier but can't resist your favorite Indian snacks? Here's how to make a low-calorie version without compromising on taste.
Swap out deep-fried samosas for baked ones. Brush with oil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for your rotis and parathas. It adds fiber and reduces calories.
Make a healthier version of chaat by using baked or air-fried papdi instead of fried ones. Top with yogurt, chutney, and veggies.
Instead of potato-based cutlets, try making them with mashed sweet potatoes or mixed vegetables. Bake or air-fry for a low-calorie option.
Use low-fat paneer or tofu instead of regular paneer in dishes like paneer tikka or palak paneer.
Make a healthier version of vada pav by using multigrain buns and baking the vada instead of deep-frying.
Use a non-stick pan and minimal oil to make your favorite dosas and uttapams. You'll save on calories without compromising on taste.
Swap out regular potato chips for baked or air-fried sweet potato or beetroot chips. They're just as crunchy and much healthier.
Don't forget to control your portion sizes. Enjoy your favorite Indian snacks in moderation and pair them with a side of fresh fruits or veggies.
