Good morning Dr. Joshi. This is Anil Shanbhag. Can you recommend Indian style healthy tea/coffee biscuits? And Dr. Nirmal had shown a picture of Sooji Halwa with Allulose. What type of sooji or alternate can we use for a healthier halwa? Thsnk you very much

Good morning! For tea/coffee biscuits, think “high-fiber, lower sugar, lower saturated fat.” Practical picks: oat- or multigrain “digestive” styles with ≤4–5 g sugar and ≥3–4 g fiber per 100 g, ) Also threptin biscuits have higher protein and less cholesterol if you buy "Lite" . Use simple RUSK with peanut butter. control portions For halwa: use coarse Sooji, Even better swaps: 1) 50:50 sooji:oats (powdered), 2) 50:50 sooji:besan (adds protein), 3) cracked wheat (dalia) or coarse “lapsi,” 4) foxtail/barnyard millet rava.or Quinoa . Add nuts, cardamom, saffron; finish sweeter with adding Dates or raisin so you can use less sweetener.Allulose causes some bitterness so pl add it with pure monk fruit in 2/3-1/3 proportion . Keep helping small.
