By Dr. Emily Foster

This Indian-style snack is great for people who are on diabetes diet given a healthy twist without compromising on the taste. The main ingredient in this dish is brown bread that is high in iron, fiber and mineral content. This is an easy snack that you can indulge in the mornings.

Ingredients:

3 slices of brown bread (edges removed)

3 tbsp of skimmed milk
1 cup of thick plain curd or low fat yogurt
¼ tbsp of black salt
½ tsp of red chili powder
½ tbsp of cumin powder
1 tbsp of tamarind chutney
Coriander for garnish

Method:

1. Add some salt to the curd and whip well to remove all the lumps.

2. In a separate bowl, make a dough out of the bread slices by adding enough milk to it. If you want, you can add a few drops of oil to your hand to avoid the dough sticking to your hands.
3. Make small balls out of the bread bowl and place them in a separate serving bowl.
4. Now pour the curd over the bread balls and let the bread balls be nicely soaked in curd.
5. Garnish with coriander leaves.
