Diabetes-friendly Sweets to Make Your Raksha Bandhan Special
Of all the many festivals that Indians celebrate with such fervor, perhaps none holds more importance for siblings as Raksha Bandhan. The name literally translates to ‘bond of protection and is characterized by the tying of colorful braided thread—rakhi—on the wrist of the brother, and in some communities, other family members as well.
On the day, brothers and sisters don new clothes and observe Raksha Bandhan by lighting an earthen lamp, or diya, in the presence of their elders. Sisters perform aarti and pray for the health and wellbeing of their brothers.
1. Mung Dal Ladoos
Mung dal is a pulse belonging to the legume family. Although it does contain carbohydrates, like all pulses, it ranks low on the Glycemic Index. Making it suitable for diabetics to consume. Mung dal is a staple savory dish on the Indian table, but the recipe below also makes it a tasty sweet dish.
2. Sesame Seed (Til) Laddoos
Sesame seeds are commonly consumed in India during the winter months as they are known to boost metabolic activity, which generates heat in the body. Like all seeds, sesame seeds too are excellent for diabetics, as they have been shown to have hypoglycemic effects. Sesame seeds also have a high content of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
That’s not the only healthy ingredient in til laddoos. The laddoos also contain peanuts, which have a low GI rating of just 14 and an even lower glycemic load of just one! This means they have a very low impact on blood sugar levels (BSL), making them good for diabetics.
