Mirchi Bajji is a popular Indian snack that consists of chilli peppers coated in a batter made from flour, spices, and water. While this tasty treat can be satisfying, the simple carbs in the coating can result in hyperglycemia and glucose fluctuations. Yet, with a few modifications, you can enjoy this snack without compromising your health.
Healthy Coating and Cooking Method
• Try using a low-carb coating (like almond flour or coconut flour) instead of regular flour. You can even use gluten-free coatings like crushed oats or chickpea flour. Check Lo! Foods for pre-made coating options.
• Consider air-frying or baking the Mirchi Bajjis instead of deep-frying them to reduce oil use.
• Try limiting your intake to a moderate amount. Be mindful of portion control.
