Eat Gujiya to your heart’s content on Holi! Prepare this healthy recipe without flour and sugar

Holi Food Recipe: The festival of Holi is considered incomplete without Gujiya but the desire to stay fit and diseases like diabetes often spoil our taste. But now you don’t need to worry. We have brought for you a healthy recipe which tastes amazing and is completely safe for health.

Gujiya available in the market during Holi is made of flour and huge amount of sugar syrup which becomes the main reason for weight gain and disturbing the blood sugar level. In the digital era, where people are conscious about their health, the demand for guilt-free sweets has increased. Let us know how you can make crispy Gujiya at home without flour and sugar.

flour substitute

Flour is heavy to digest and can cause swelling in the body. Instead of this, use fine semolina (Rava) or wheat flour with bran. To add moisture to the dough, use pure desi ghee instead of dalda or refined oil, which will make it crispy as well as provide healthy fats.

Natural Sweetener

The biggest feature of this Gujiya is its sweetness. Do not use white sugar in this at all. While preparing the stuffing, add grated dates, figs or jaggery powder. If you are a diabetic patient then stevia can be a great option. It will provide natural sweetness and will not increase calories.

Dry Fruits Power Punch

Do not fill only khoya (mawa) inside the gujiya. Add plenty of chopped almonds, walnuts, pistachios and pumpkin seeds to it. These will not only enhance the taste of Gujhiya but will also give you fiber and omega-3 fatty acids which are good for heart health.

Bake or Air-Fry

Deep-frying Holi Gujiya in oil increases its calories four times. To make it healthy, you can bake them in the oven or use air-fryer. This will give you the same crunch but without oil and extra fat.

Holi is a festival of happiness and dishes are its main center. With this sugar-free and flour-free recipe, you can enjoy festive sweets without compromising your fitness.
