by Vini M. Food Blogger

Bored of eating poha and regular snacks every day? Don’t you think it’s time to add something light and tastier to your diet? We, at Viniscookbook, have compiled a list of light snacks such as masala khakhra, lauki thepla and much more to provide our readers with wholesome food options. There are a few things that we avoid cooking at home because we have not got the best recipes in hand. But no more here is everything you must know about preparing theplas, khakhras and papads.

Masala Khakhra:

This unique snack is basically a Gujarati cuisine. Khakhra has always been my favourite evening choice because of several reasons. It is not only delectable but also healthy. Yes, you read that right. Masala Khakhra is a little more than the usual khakhra. The former has better tastes and flavours. Usually, people purchase packets of khakhra from traditional markets. But it can also be prepared at home following the right tips and preparation method. Whether you are on a diet or otherwise, khakhra is surely the ideal snack. In our secret recipe, we have used whole wheat flour and a negligible amount of gram flour. Checkout the best masala khakhra recipe now.

Masala Papad:

Eating papad after a full meal is quite common in India. And when it is masala papad, it just gets better. In the usual course, masala papad is deep fried. But in our recipe, we have used lesser oil and it turned to be a great experiment. You have the freedom to put vegetables of your choice on the papad. Also, be sure to not go with papad that gets soggy too easily. Get the whole instruction and method of preparation of masala papad.

Papad Methi:

This is more of a side dish than a light snack. If you are diabetic or fond of fenugreek seeds, then this is a must try. Generally, people do not prefer the sour taste of dana methi. However, this dish brings out the best flavours of these seeds.
The best thing about this dish is that it can be prepared without any special bread. You are free to implement minor changes in our cooking guide. Before jumping on the preparation part, please go through our papad methi sabji recipe.

Lauki Thepla:

Unlike other bread available in the market, this is completely healthy. Often, people get confused between a thepla and a paratha. However, both are different in various ways. It is an easy food option to carry in long journeys. Thepla neither spill nor makes you feel lethargic. Also, you can pack it in your little one’s lunch boxes. Checkout the list of ingredients to the step-by-step directions of lauki thepla recipe.

Atta Halwa:

Desserts are the best part of any meal. Many people like papad and halwa combination. If you are one of them, you would the papad recipes with the atta halwa. Made with home-made ingredients, it is quite hard to say ‘no’ to atta halwa. Go through our Atta Halwa Recipe and learn How to make Atta Halwa.
