Eat Healthy with Millets, Palm Jaggery and Cold Pressed Oils
You don’t have to feel guilty indulging in these delicious deserts. By replacing traditional ingridients with healthier alternatives, you can satify your sweet tooth the right way!
Poli is generally prepared during festive season. Cooked chana dal and coconut mixed with jaggery is the common stuffing used for this dish. I used coconut poornam to make the dish simple.
Traditionally Paal Payasam is made with rice which is cooked in milk by simmering for a long time and sugar is added as a sweetner. I used Little Millet for this recipe and a creamy payasam was ready in 30 minutes.
This Payasam/Kheer is mildly sweetened with jaggery and the aroma of coconut milk adds richness to the dish. Try this millet version and I am sure you will find it more tasty than the rice variety.
Diwali, the festival lights is the time when a variety of sweets are made at home. Laddus are the favourite ones which is prepared during this festive season. Generally, rava/sooji or lentils are used to make laddus. I tried with jowar flour and never imagined that it will taste just like rava laddus!
Shakkar Para is a snack item generally made during Diwali. Refined flour is mixed with sugar and deep fried. I replaced refined flour with jowar flour.
