Telavaja: A Guilt-Free Twist on Traditional Pakoras

Bikel ki adda means smoked tea and crispy pakoras. But for the fitness freaks, this'Telavaja'means a bit of guilt. But the good news for foodies is that a little change in cooking technique can make your favourite pakoras much healthier. According to nutritionists, following a few simple rules will keep the taste of the adda intact and won't harm the body (Healthy Pakora Recipe). Change the batter. Use protein-rich besan instead of maida. You can add a little oats powder or jowar flour to make the pakoras extra crisp. This will help in digestion by increasing the fiber content. The magic of vegetables is cabbage, spinach, carrot or broccoli. Mixing the batter instead of potatoes is more nutritious if the vegetable is high in fat content and the batter is thin. Avoid excess oil and keep the pakoras on the kitchen stove to keep them moist.
