It is pouring outside and you are not having the piping hot samosa and bhajia just because you are on a diet an don’t wanna gain those extra pounds around your waist? Is it fair? If your stomach and heart says no, here are two things you can do. First of all, you have a choice of eating it in moderation to merely satisfy your cravings and by moderation, we mean a bite or two. However, if you think this to be the worst idea ever, you might want to go ahead and read this whole post that will help youself upgrade the bhajia and samosas you make at home to healthier versions of them. Here are 5 tweaks you can make in your regular bhajia or samosa to make is healthier. (Well… this still doesn’t mean that you can binge on them. Remember.)

1. Switch from deep frying to baking: Instead of deep-frying, the samosas bake them to cut extra oil from what you eat. Just brush some olive oil and put it into the oven. You can even opt for air frying them. Here s why air frying is better than regular frying. In case of bhajias air frying works wonders. Also Read - Can’t say no to deep-fried foods?

2. Let the potato go… embrace the veggies: Instead of stuffing your samosas with potatoes, use chopped mixed veggies tossed in olive oil and save yourself from some extra calories. You can use mashed peas too. Same with the bhajias you can also make daal bhajias instead of the fried onion ones.

3. Check your flour: Use multigrain flour instead of all-purpose flour or maida/besan for your samosas and bhajias. Use organic flour.

4. Check the dips you use: Make fresh chutneys using coriander pudina/mint and tomatoes instead of cheesy dips.

5. Use the right spices: Use home-ground spices instead of the processed pacakged spices.

Although some might think that making these changes is almost altering the taste and feel of food but only once you use these tips, you’ll realise that it tastes equally good and is better than binging on the deep-fried version.
