Why not DALIA!!

Are you making Dalia??? But why, do I look ill!!! No Hospital Food Please!! Flashback!! Well, here I am in the grocery store, with firm mind to pick up most of the healthy ingredients. I am standing in front of row and row packets of Broken Wheat/Dalia and Chipsss.... With my firm mind, I moved my head towards the packet of Dalia and here my mind started popping out a lot of questions!! Are you making Dalia??? But why, do I look ill!!! No Hospital Food Pleasee!! #mydailyhustle Have you ever been bombarded with these questions?? Whenever, I take out my kitchen tool and try to move my magic wand over the Broken wheat/Dalia!!, I am being stopped profusely by the witches of my house(witches over here represent my husband & siblings over superhero healthy ingredients)!!

Vada Pav: Daily Hunger Savior!!

Every Mumbaikars droollsss over the name of Vada Pav...o yes thts true!! And Yes ofcourse!! its one of my favourite snack too....😁😁 Oh, so here comes my Dilemma!! .how can I make my vada pav healthy and yet keep that taste. When do we normally crave for vada pav? During rains? Winters? Or just by its name!! Its next to impossible to say goodbye to these last minute hunger savers throughout our life, so lets make it healthy, lower in calories and tasty!! The King Potato and Indian spices makes this dish a super hero sandwiched between Pav. Now, if you think, the hero of the vada pav, the taste enhancer is the masala of - Mr. Vada!!!

So replace half of ur potato mixture with mix veg mash or cauliflower mash, plainly add sprouts or just soya chunks. I have...
