Idli is an ideal daily breakfast for many. It can become an ideal breakfast for the Holi morning too. To make this super-quick and low-fat meal, you can add some peas, beans or carrots to it which will make it even tastier and healthier.

Add moong dal in your dahi vada

We bet Dahivada or dahi Bhalla is one yummy dish which you can’t keep your hands off from. To give this mouth-watering snack a twist of health, add some moong dal to the usual urad dal which is used to prepare the vada. Moong dal is loaded with proteins and quite a few essential nutrients.  And also, shallow fry the vada. Bake or air-fry if possible.

Whip up a thandai that is low in sugar

There is no Holi without thandai. This popular Holi drink is loaded with sugar but. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to do away it. Just make it a little healthy. Use organic milk instead of the regular version  and mix jaggery instead of sugar.
