Simple & Delicious Indian Recipes
We all crave for chaats. Dahi Vadas is one of the popular chaats. However, being health conscious, we also want to avoid eating fried foods. I tried making a healthier version of dahi vadas by steaming the vadas instead of deep frying. Surprisingly, the taste was very similar to the traditional fried vadas.With elimination of oil, it becomes a very healthy food with lentils and dahi being the main ingredients. You can satisfy your cravings and stay healthy too.

Bhapa Doi, or sometimes called Mishti Doi, is a very elegant and tasty Bengali dessert. Made with 2 main ingredients, curd and condensed milk with cardamom and saffron (or other ingredients) used for flavor. It is one of the healthier and easy to make desserts with limited sugar and no oil or butter. Steaming the mixture gives it a very unique texture and taste. You can serve it warm or chilled though I prefer to eat it chilled.
Now you can have a dessert without feeling guilty-conscious.
