Diwali 2019: Healthy gluten-free snacks you should try this year
With Diwali coming up this week, we would love to have as many snacks as possible without gaining any weight. Here is the list of gluten-free snacks to try.
Gluten is a substance found in wheat, barley, and rye and a gluten-free diet means a diet which does not contain the protein gluten. A gluten-free diet is mainly suggested to people who are suffering from diseases like celiac disease. These people are asked to choose snacks rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. This diet also helps in improving health and promotes weight loss. Diwali is here and people who follow gluten-free diets need to know these food items that they can have in this festival.
Chikki
Chikkis are the Indian versions of energy bar filled with nuts. All a person needs to make these Chikkis are four ingredients and 5-8 minutes for preparations. This Indian energy bar is naturally sweetened and perfectly vegan.
Apricot Laddoos
Apricot Laddoos are made with three ingredients and ten minutes and the delicious laddoos are ready. This food item is vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Dal Makhani
It is a delightful vegetarian curry/dal rich in nutrients and proteins. Dal makhani is one of the most loved dal recipes of India. The best thing about dal makhani is that it can be made easily at home. The dish may not be termed as a vegan option, but it is completely gluten-free.
Dal Tadka
Dal Tadka is basically a lentil soup that is different from the everyday Dal that is prepared at home. Dal Tadka is consumed with steamed or jeera rice and vegetables in an Indian household. It is made of steamed dal which is later added into fried spices and herbs.
