A mixture of the above ingredients give thepla such a good flavour! Health benefits: - Assists in weight loss - Boosts immunity - Enhances skin and hair quality - Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol If this wasn’t enough, Thepla is also travel friendly! It can be consumed anywhere and at anytime and can be kept at room temperature in an air tight container. Enjoy your delicious and healthy thepla with green chilli pickle or just have it as it is! 😊 . . . #bysaltandsoul #fenugreek #methi #methiparatha #whitebutter #achar #flatlayfoodies #eeeeats #foodtalkdelhi #indianfood #justeatrealfood #f52grams #feedfeed #thekitchn #instafoodblogger #eathealthybehealthy #greeeen #ontheplate #madewithlove❤️ #mytablesituation #palatablegreens #foodforsoul #healthyanddelicious #justhomemade #northindianfood #happywednesday

Khandvi is a small, savoury roll-up prepared from Khandvi is a small, savoury roll-up prepared from gram flour (besan) and curd batter topped with a tempering of sautéed mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves and desiccated coconut. To make it oil-free, you can also skip the seasoning as I have done. Sometimes life sends us a reminder that there is a whole lot of goodness in an Indian kitchen which we tend to forget. > Khandvi is low in calories as it is prepared using very less oil. > Besan is rich in protein as it is prepared from chickpea flour, is gluten free and provides fibre to the body which curbs hunger pangs and curd helps with digestion. So ditch those deep-fried and sugary snacks for some healthy khandvi and enjoy!

In my last post, I had shared the health benefits In my last post, I had shared the health benefits of swapping rice with millets in Idli batter. Bringing back those idlis in a new fusion recipe ~ CHAAT. Made by slightly pan frying the millet idlis with some spices, and a generous spread of green chutney, tamarind chutney and spread of crunchy sev. This is the best way to use left over idlis! Serve it as a tea time snack with a hot cup of masala chai or South Indian filter coffee. When I first heard about millet idlis, I was skeptical about how to use millets, how to make the batter etc. But once I tried it, all my doubts were demystified. The idlis turned out to be delicious and super soft without any extra effort but all the added health benefits! Some recipes are simple but seem difficult till you try them. Do give it a try 😊. . . #bysaltandsoul #foodie #foodblogfeed #winterfood #healthy #chaat #localfoods #superfoods #winters #healthyandtasty #healthyeating #foodforsoul #eat #justhomemade #millet #foodstagram #southindian #organicstoreindia #healthysnacks #milletrecipes #streetfood #streetfoodindia #foodblogger #idli #fusionfood #nutrition #nutritiontips #eveningsnack
