and how much you're eating. It helps you make healthier food choices, avoid overeating, 
and feel more in control of your eating habits. Here are four simple ways to practice 
mindful snacking and maintain a healthy snacking lifestyle:

paste, then cooking it with Wheat flour, butter or ghee, cardamom and pistachio. A street 
vendor prepares this dish in a Kadai or a metal pan over blazing heat. Let it cool, cut into 
slices and enjoy the delicious Iruttu Kadai Halwa! Indian desserts are known for their 
richness. This dessert is loved by Indians all over the world and is specially made on 
special occasions and festivals.

doughnut-like pastry also has its roots in Tamil civilization, where it was originally 
served to Brahmin priests during religious festivals. It remains a popular snack in Tamil
