You don’t have to give up your favourite snacks to eat better.

Try these easy swaps to turn everyday comfort foods into healthier, filling versions.

🍝 Pasta → Desi Veggie Pasta Skip the heavy creamy sauces and load your pasta with capsicum, corn, carrots, peas and tomatoes. Choose whole-wheat or millet pasta and use a light tomato-based sauce.

🥟 Samosa → Air-Fried Samosa Your chai-time favourite can get a lighter makeover. Fill it with spiced potatoes, peas and vegetables, use a thinner whole-wheat covering and air-fry instead of deep-frying.

🌯 Aloo Roll → Paneer & Veggie Roll Replace the heavy potato filling with grilled paneer, onion, capsicum, cabbage and chutney. Wrap it in a whole-wheat roti.

🍕 Pizza → Roti Pizza No pizza base? No problem! Use a whole-wheat roti as the base, add tomato sauce, vegetables, paneer and a moderate amount of cheese. Bake until crisp.

🍟 French Fries → Masala Sweet Potato Fries Cut sweet potatoes into strips, toss with chilli, cumin, black pepper and a little oil, then air-fry or bake.

🍜 Instant Noodles → Desi Veggie Noodles Swap instant noodles for whole-wheat, millet or other higher-fibre noodles and add plenty of vegetables like cabbage, carrots, beans and capsicum.

🥔 Aloo Chaat → Protein-Packed Chaat Give your chaat a makeover with boiled kala chana or sprouts, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, coriander and lemon. Use spices and mint chutney for flavour.
