Let's Bake Some Healthy Savory Snacks in Airfryer

Who does not want to stay healthy? We all do strive to get the better of ourselves and lead a disease-free life. Sadly, a majority of health problems come from our wrong food choices. A diet that relies heavily on wrong foods is deficient in nutrients and the result is nutritional deficiencies in you. But these so-called delicacies and savories are addictive, and you cannot stay away from them. Think of pizzas, samosas, mathris, breads, and keep adding your favorite snacks to this list. So does staying healthy means rejecting the foods you love? Does it mean you cannot enjoy what you crave for? Well, my definition of healthy eating includes all those foods that you crave and are addicted to, with the only difference being in the choice of flour, fat, salt, and exclusion of any additives, artificial flavors, and chemicals.

Is Baking With Malai Healthy Substitute to Fat? Rusk, Cookies, Cake Recipes With Malai

In my cookie baking basics for beginners , I always harp on the need for solid fat for baking a crispy cookie without baking powder and soda. However, many of you approach me asking for substitutes for ghee and oil, so here's presenting cookies with malai (cream that sits on top of boiled milk). The next question that pops up in your mind is: Are these crispy with malai? Or how to bake crispy cookies with homemade cream, which is way healthier than your favorite packaged cream. A recent research report claims that packed creams sold under different names in the market raise the risk of triglycerides and cholesterol.  Can you give me the reason? Well, the answer is simple. There are highly processed fats that blend different ingredients to give you that luscious richness that you crave in your bakes. They are highly saturated and have trans fats. Thankfully, I have never bought one nor do I ever intend to purchase one . You can add whipping creams, cond

Why & How To Make Baking Ingredients From Scratch (Healthy Recipes Collection)

Well, we continue to harp on the fact that a wholesome balanced diet is a way to stay healthy. This includes whole grains, millets, legumes, and pseudocereals (such as quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, water chestnut). Depending on one grain or cereal does not deliver the same dietary benefits, especially as our diets are drained of nutrition. So why not include different types of cereals and pseudocereals in our diet to make the most of each ingredient. What's more, even those with gluten intolerance can enjoy their meals, snacks, and tea time like never before. We have all types of flours available these days.  But there is a lack of trust factor.  Why? The increasing amount of adulteration of food (including contamination) leaves us with doubts as to whether we are actually eating healthy in the name of health. I suggest avoiding marketing gimmicks and tall claims of food businesses that try to sell nutritionally deficient goods under the garb of such terms that sell - oats cookies (

Are Cookies Healthy? Karachi Biscuits With Millets, Jaggery, NO EGG, NO baking powder/soda in Airfryer

 Are cookies healthy? Should cookies be part of your healthy diet?  One question that has troubled you for a long time! Our lives are busy.  We have a lot of responsibilities to take care of. In this maddening rush of responsibilities, we tend to reach out to that ready-to-eat junk, which is literally JUNK and does your body no GOOD. This includes store-bought cookies and cakes.  Besides, exposing your body to a lot of calories, ready-to-eat stuff is laden with chemicals and preservatives that your body is not designed to digest. As far as cakes are concerned, you do not eat cakes on a regular basis.  But cookies are your tea-time companion. Kids are literally addicted to cookies. They are more likely to reach out to their favorite cookie packets in the store. You struggle hard to keep them at bay.  Can you relate to it? True, this is the case with a majority of kids who have grown up being exposed to market junk. Now their moms struggle hard to transition them to healthy stuff. So it

Is Almond Meal and Almond Flour Same

Many of you often ask: is almond meal and almond flour same? This question keeps popping up every now and then. Considering I bake a lot with almonds, I am the one who has to answer this query. Well, until now, like everyone, I, too, believed that both almond meal and almond flour are same. In fact, I used to think that almond powder is different from almond meal.  is almond meal and almond flour different or same? So what's the reality? Well, the logic is simple. The answer even simpler. We make flax meal from roasted ground flax, right? So when it comes to making almond meal, it is nothing but ground almond powder, which may or may not be blanched. On the other hand, almond flour is prepared by blanching almonds (peeling off their skin) and then drying them to make almond flour. But here is a twist. If you want an even low-calorie, low carb almond flour with less fat (though almonds are loaded with good fats that help boost your HDL levels), you may first make almond milk and the
