Opt for whole wheat or multigrain flour for the outer covering instead of refined flour. Whole grains are rich in fiber and essential nutrients, making them a healthier choice.
Fill your samosa and kachoris with a mix of vegetables like peas, carrots, and spinach. This not only adds nutrients but also enhances the flavor of the filling. Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support heart health.
To reduce the fat content, bake or air-fry your samosas and kachoris instead of deep-frying them. Baking and air-frying use less oil, resulting in a lighter, healthier snack.
