Medu vada, a beloved South Indian delicacy, are crispy, fluffy and delicious fritters that have the shape of a donut. It is a staple in South Indian homes and restaurants. They are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. These golden doughnut-shaped fritters are traditionally served during breakfast or festive occasions alongside piping hot sambar and fresh coconut chutney. With its crunchy exterior and soft interior, it perfectly balances texture and taste, making it a favourite across India.

Sweet Chia Seed Pudding Recipe: A Fibre-Rich Treat
Chia seed pudding has become popular in recent years as a dessert that satisfies hunger pangs and sweet cravings while also adding protein and fiber to the diet. The main ingredient remains chia seeds and almond milk (or any other milk of choice), topped with chopped or sliced fruits of your choice—in this case, we picked bananas and strawberries. You can even add chopped nuts, crushed cornflakes, or thickened fruit purees to make the dessert more appealing. However, always add the toppings (fruits, nuts, and flakes) after soaking. Chia seeds require 2-4 hours to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.10 minseasyAmla Jellies Recipe: Tangy Sweet Treat For Lakshmi Puja
