Diwali is that time of the year when your diet and workout routines all go for a toss. But who can blame you when there are plateful of snacks and tasty desserts coming home every day? But there is a way to enjoy these treats without your guilt taking over. To help you out, we have curated a list of popular treats with a healthy spin that can be easily prepared at home using standard kitchen appliances. 

5 healthy Diwali snacks to make at home

Here are five Diwali special treats with a healthy twist that you can make at home.

1. Baked Chakli

2. Air Fried Namak Para

3. Dry-fruit Ladoo

4. Roasted Poha Chivda

5. Multigrain Nankhatai

1. Baked Chakli

Diwali without chakli? Impossible! But instead of deep frying, use the LG 28L Charcoal microwave oven to bake the chaklis. All you need to do is mix rice flour, besan, spices, sesame and cumin seeds to make a dough. Give them the ideal round shape and bake them in the microwave oven. 

2. Air-Fried Namak Para

This kite-shaped crunchy snack can’t be missed during Diwali. Form a dough by mixing whole wheat flour, carom seeds, oil and salt. Roll it and cut it into kite shapes. And to make them healthier, air fry them using the Havells Prolife Grande 6.5L 1700 Watt digital air fryer featuring Aero Crisp technology.

3. Dry Fruit Ladoos

Here’s a healthy version of the ladoos that won’t make you feel guilty about having them. Take mixed nuts and dates and add a hint of cardamom to them. Next, blend them in a food processor for a smooth consistency and roll them. To blend everything to perfection, we recommend opting for the Croma 800 Watt food processor that comes with a variable speed option.

4. Roasted Poha Chivda

Poha chivda is yet another namkeen that involves deep-frying but can be made healthy using only one tablespoon of oil. Roast the poha in a pan on a gas stove and keep aside; fry other ingredients to add flavour to the chivda. The Faber Jumbo toughened gas stove adds convenience by holding the pan just right. Mix everything, and your chivda is ready.

5. Multigrain Nankhatai

Mix the flour, baking soda, sugar, ghee, milk, and cardamom, and whisk them well to create a dough. Shape them into balls and place them on a baking tray in something like the Philips Avance Collection 36L oven toaster grill, which bakes food easily with its OptiTemp technology.
