Goan cuisine consists of regional foods popular in Goa, an Indian state located along India's west coast on the shore of the Arabian Sea. They use lot of coconut in their cuisine and palm jaggery is widely used in sweet preparations. I will be sharing a couple of Goan dishes using millets. This sweet is very simple to make and tastes so good. Try this cake as a tea time snack.
Ragi is a very good source of calcium, fibre, iron and other micro nutrients. Dates are rich in dietary fiber, which prevents LDL cholesterol absorption in the gut. Additionally, the fiber diet works as a bulk laxative. It, thus, helps protect the colon mucous membrane from cancer-causing chemicals binding to it in the colon. Bananas are again a rich source of fibre and potassium. When all these are put together to make a cake, the result is a very healthy bake! This recipe is Vegan and no processed sugar is added. The fruits give a mild sweetness which is perfect for a tea time snack.
Banana bread is a type of bread made from mashed bananas. It is often a moist, sweet, cake-like quick bread. This banana bread recipe is soft and delicious. This recipe is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free. Try this healthy bread and enjoy as a tea time snack.
Pumpkin can be used in so many baked goods. Its earthy flavor and dense fibrous texture is perfect in cakes, pies, tarts, cookies, scones, bars and squares, and muffins. You can get orangey brown colour if you use refined sugar. But I am more interested in healthy bakes than its appearance. Jowar flour is just perfect for baking and adding almond meal enhances its taste and aroma. Try this easy vegan recipe for this winter break.
