Namaskar! Whenever anyone thinks of starting to lose weight, the first thing they would do is pay attention to their diet. Cravings are one of the major reasons for indulging in overeating, and frequent snacking becomes common for individuals who can’t control their cravings.
So today, I’m going to give you three recipes for tasty snacks that will not only satisfy your taste buds but can also lead to weight loss over a period of time.
The first one is a chat made with chickpeas and sprouts. You’ll need one cup of boiled chickpeas, one cup of mixed sprouts (moong and other lentils will do), one diced cucumber, one diced tomato, black salt, chat masala for taste, roasted cumin powder, lemon for taste, and fresh coriander leaves chopped.
In a large bowl, mix all these ingredients and serve immediately. Chickpeas and sprouts are rich in protein and fiber, promoting a sense of fullness and preventing overall calorie intake. The fiber content aids in digestion and maintains stable blood sugar levels. This dish is packed with essential vitamins and minerals from vegetables, making it a well-rounded nutritive option for weight-conscious individuals.
The second recipe is Thepla Chilla chat. For this, you’ll need one cup of besan or chickpea flour, one cup of yogurt, half a cup of water, half a teaspoon of cumin powder, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, half a cup of finely chopped vegetables (like tomatoes, carrots, and capsicum), and salt. For the chilla topping, you’ll need yogurt, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, chat masala, roasted cumin powder, and fresh chopped coriander leaves.
In a bowl, combine all the chilla ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Heat a pan and spread a ladle full of batter to make a thin chilla. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Repeat the process to make more chillas and allow them to cool. To assemble the chilla chat, place a thepla chilla on a serving plate, spread a layer of whisked yogurt on top of the chilla, drizzle mint chutney or tamarind chutney, sprinkle chat masala and roasted cumin powder for flavor, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Repeat the process for the other chillas. Serve immediately and enjoy this dish.
The chickpea flour used in this chilla is a good source of protein and fiber, promoting satiety and reducing overall calorie consumption. Yogurt is probiotic in nature, supporting a healthy digestive system and aiding in weight management. The balance of protein, fiber, and nutrient-rich ingredients makes this recipe a satisfying and weight-conscious dish.
And our third tasty snack is Soyabean Tikki. For this, you’ll need one cup of soaked and boiled soyabeans, half a cup of finely chopped spinach, a quarter cup of grated carrot, one teaspoon of grated ginger, one teaspoon of cumin powder, salt to taste, two tablespoons of besan for binding, and two tablespoons of oil for cooking.
Prepare the soyabeans by soaking them in water for 6 to 8 hours, then boil them until they are soft. Drain the excess water and mash the boiled soyabeans using a potato masher or food processor until a smooth mixture is obtained. In a large bowl, combine the mashed soyabeans, besan, cumin powder, grated ginger, grated carrots, and chopped spinach. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval tikkis. Heat oil in a pan over medium flame, place the tikkis on the pan, and cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt.
Soyabeans, being a plant-based protein, contribute to muscle maintenance and boost metabolism, aiding in weight management. Spinach is low in calories but high in nutrients, adding vitamins and minerals without excess calories. The use of besan gives a good texture and taste while also adding protein and fiber, supporting a balanced and satisfying meal for weight-conscious individuals. Cooking with minimal oil ensures a lower calorie content, making these patties a nutritious and weight-conscious choice.
Including healthy snacks in your daily routine is not just about cutting calories; it’s about nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients that support your overall health. These snack recipes can also be used for your dinner. Apart from paying attention to your diet, you must include moderate exercise, sufficient relaxation, and make sensible lifestyle choices if you want to lose weight and stay that way.
Namaskar!
