Poha Tikki
Poha Tikki is just like potato cutlet. However, a healthy replacement for potatoes is poha. All you have to do is soak the poha in water for a few minutes and then squeeze out the water with your hands. Now add spices and finely chopped vegetables of your choice. Now mix all the ingredients well and make small tikkis out of it. Instead of frying them in oil, take a griddle and apply some oil on it. Now place the tikkis on a hot pan and let it turn golden brown from both the sides. Serve them with sauce or green chutney.
bhel puri
Take puff of rice, finely chopped potato, onion, tomato, green chilli, coriander or any vegetable of your choice. To replace papdi, you can take a whole wheat chapati and cook it till it becomes very crunchy. Now crush it in the same way as you crush papdi in bhel puri. Add tamarind chutney, green chutney and a spoonful of lemon juice to it. Your healthy bhel puri is ready.
lick gram
Soak a cup of chickpeas overnight. Now boil them till they become soft. Add finely chopped vegetables like cucumber, onion, tomato, green coriander, grated carrot etc. Now add some salt, pepper and chaat masala to it. Just squeeze a lemon and toss. Your healthy chaat is ready.
fruit custard
Festivals are incomplete without sweets. You can go for this easy fruit custard recipe in which you can use hung curd instead of heavy cream. Take a bowl full of curd and wrap it tightly in a muslin cloth. Now hang it for overnight so that the curd becomes creamy after leaving all the water. Take out the curd in a bowl and add fruits like grapes, apple, pineapple, guava etc. To give it a sweet taste, add a little honey or jaggery powder to it.
Avocado Toast
Avocado is a storehouse of nutrients. It can be a bit expensive compared to other vegetables and fruits, however, one avocado can make 6-7 sandwiches. To make the filling, choose an avocado that is soft, scoop it out with a spoon. Now take it out in a bowl and beat it a little. Add a spoonful of yogurt or mayonnaise to it. Now add finely chopped vegetables, salt and pepper to it. Now take a piece of bread and spread the mixture on it. Close it using another bread slice. Now put some butter on a non stick pan. Place the sandwich and let it cook till it turns golden brown. Flip both sides. And your avocado toast is ready.
