Vegetarian Snack Recipes

Who doesn’t like a little chatpatah to go with their chai on cold evenings? The problem with this, however, is that many chatpatah snacks are deep fried in oil, making them harmful for health.

But what if we showed you how prepare healthy snacks? Traditional savouries like samosas and mathris can be made health-friendly with a few minor modifications as shown below. Try these healthy, finger-licking eats compiled by our senior nutritionists Alpa Momaya and Sumita Thomas for the New Indian Express and never feel deprived again!

Stuffing Preparation:

  • Heat the oil in a pan and add cumin seeds.

  • Sauté for another 2 minutes.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions and keep it aside.

Method:

  • Divide each chapati into two halves, make a cone from each half.
  • Stuff each cone with a portion of the stuffing.
  • Seal the edges carefully using a little water.
  • Repeat with the remaining chapati halves and stuffing to make 7 more samosas.
