While a pollution free Diwali sounds very good, why not also make it a guilt-free Diwali health-wise, suggests dietician Sheela Tanna. "While we may go traditional this Diwali, let it be a healthy one for your loved ones too as no one would like to suffer from acidity, bloating, sugar high, cholesterol high, acne," she cautions. Here are her tips on doing so... ROAST: Instead of frying all the wadas, samosas, bhajias, spring rolls and cutlets, roast them. NO SUGAR: Let elders in the family with high sugar and BP enjoy sweets without sugar. Use dates, anjeer, saffron and cardamom for natural sweetness in your kheer, fruit salad, dudhi halva and rawa sheera. SUBSTITUTE THE PURIS: Instead of deep fried puris, this time have tandoori rotis, methi rotis, pudina parathas. They are good for digestion and taste nice too. For starters TANDOORI PLATTER: Starters could be a tandoori platter, which includes lots of spicy baby potatoes, baby corn, red and yellow peppers, planner etc which is absolutely fat free and yummy on your tummy too. BAKED DAHI WADAS: Roast the wadas in an appam vessel with very little oil. Dip them in low fat curd and season with chutneys and spices. NO SUGAR: Instead of traditional gulab jamun which is banned for diabetics and obese people, make fruit salad or shrikhand with low fat milk and artificial sweetner. You can also do a low-fat milk rasmalai with this sweetener. Add cardamom, saffron and dry fruits to make them rich and milk powder to make the milk thick. For the main course Instead of a fat and ghee-laden biryani, why not go for green vegetables and green biryani masala (make with coconut plus coriander leaves, onion, garlic, chillies and spices). Add curd to make the gravy and layer this to rice for a tasty and quick dish.
