sheera As part of our series on healthy Diwali recipes, here is a low fat version of sheera, an all-time favourite Indian dessert made of jaggery and wheat. Jaggery is better for health than refined white sugar as it is rich in minerals, salts and vitamins. Walnuts and almonds contain MUFA and antioxidants that protect our heart from free radical damage and help to lower LDL.

Boil 1½ cups of water in a pan and add grated jaggery to it. Allow to simmer till the jaggery melts. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add all the flours and sauté till light brown in colour.
3.Add the jaggery water and cardamom and mix well till no lumps remain. Cook on a slow flame for a while and remove from the flame.
