Dahi Vadas Without Oil (Steamed)

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.

Churma Modak (Non Fried)

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most famous festivals in most of the states of India. This festival is in-complete without offering special modak/ ladoo prasad to the lord.
