A Healthier version of wonderful and Famous Traditional Bengali Dessert

What is Mishti Doi ?

Mishti Doi or Mithi Dahi is possibly the most popular and beloved sweet dish in Bengal, and arguably the state’s second most important culinary export after the roshogolla. Fans of this iconic Bengali dessert—fermented set yogurt sweetened with caramelized sugar—are found all over the subcontinent, including Bangladesh, and even further afield.

Mishti Doi is an essential part of a Bengali meal and is traditionally made for religious and festive occasions like Durga Puja, Bengali New Year (Pohela Baisakh), and weddings. In the Vedas, curd or yogurt is described as the food of the gods, which may explain why it is an essential part of religious rituals. Plus, this easy Mishti Doi recipe, chilled, is a delicious way to beat the heat and is a perfect thirst-quencher in a hot and humid climate.

Despite its immense popularity, Mishti Doi is rarely prepared at home, possibly because it is widely available in practically every mithai shop in every neighbourhood in Bengal. Also, it takes planning and you need to make it at least a day in advance before you can eat it.

Although the misti doi recipe requires minimal ingredients, and even though the process is fairly simple and hassle-free, you need patience to make this scrumptious sweet – it has a waiting time of around 12 hours for the yogurt to set.

Healthier Twist in Mishti Doi –

Khajur mishti doi is a healthy twist to the traditional Bengali sweet. As the name says healthy mishti doi with dates, is devoid of refined and sugar and made with dates.
To make Khajur mishti doi, you need to soak the dates in warm water for about half an hour. Then drain the water, deseed the dates and combine with water to make a smooth puree. Then boil the milk for 8 to 10 minutes and after cooling it slightly add the dates puree and curd for the mishiti doi to set. Pour into individual serving glasses or cups of your choice and allow it to set for 5 hours. Cooling milk in this healthy Bengali sweet for 10 minutes after boiling is very important as curd added in hot milk will not set the mishiti doi well. Similarly soaking the dates in the beginning in hot water is also important to get a uniform texture.

Healthy mishti doi with dates has been made with cow’s milk as it has slightly lower fat content than full-fat milk. If you wish you can make this sweet with low- fat milk also. That will bring down the fat content to almost nil. Turn to about half a portion of this comparatively healthy Indian sweet to satisfy your sweet tooth. You will not load your body with refined sugar and thus avoid inflammation too with this khajur mishti doi. While heart patients and others aiming to eat healthy sweet can include this healthy mishti doi with dates as an occasional treat, diabetics should avoid it because of the addition of dates. Kids also need not hesitate to indulge in this sweet delicacy.

Introduction –

Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar mostly consumed in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Africa. It is a concentrated product of cane juice and often date or palm sap without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in colour. It not only contains sucrose but also invert sugars, and moisture, with the remainder of other insoluble matter, such as wood ash, proteins, and bagasse fibres. 

Jaggery “THE HERO”

It is packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and phosphorus and even has trace amounts of zinc, copper, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Studies suggest that jaggery has B vitamins, some amounts of plant proteins and loads of phytochemicals and antioxidants. Few benefits are as follows-

1. Cleanses the whole body

jaggery not only contains antioxidants but also many minerals and altogether they give it a cytoprotective quality to it, meaning that not only can it clear the mucus off the lungs but also cleans the respiratory and digestive tracts from the inside out.

2. Improves digestion 

Jaggery helps to stimulates the bowels and aids the release of digestive enzymes. It is also believed that jaggery is great for people who suffer from constipation and other digestive issues.

3. Prevents anemia

Jaggery is rich in minerals like iron and phosphorus, which aid in the production of hemoglobin in the body. For people with low-iron in their diet or at risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia, consuming jaggery is an effective preventive measure.

4. Improves immune function

Any food that is packed with nutrients and helps detox the body is usually consider great for your immune system and so jaggery is believed to be one of the best immune-boosting foods available to us. That’s why jaggery is consumed more during winter when your body needs that extra immunity boost to help keep the cold, flu and other diseases at bay.

5. Aids glucose control and weight loss

Jaggery is a great alternative to white sugar. Although Opting for jaggery as a sweetener can not only keep your blood sugar levels in check but also help you control your weight better.

What Is a Quesadilla?

A quesadilla is a Mexican dish that dates back to the 16th century. Traditional quesadillas were made with a corn tortilla that was warmed on a griddle, filled with cheese and various other fillings (meat, vegetables), and then folded over to be eaten by hand.

The addition of toppings like guacamole, salsa, and sour cream seems to have come along later. And, as Americans have adopted quesadillas, they’ve put their own spin on them, adding untraditional fillings such as scrambled eggs to make breakfast quesadilla and often swapping out flour tortillas for the corn tortillas.

Corn or Flour Tortillas for Quesadillas?

Traditionally in Mexico quesadillas are made with corn tortillas, not wheat flour tortillas, and a melty, white cheese.
