Baked – Yellow moong dal dahi/yogurt Vada
About:
Traditionally dahi vadas are deep fried dumplings soaked in yogurt but for the healthier option choose baking , this can be served as a snack or chaat.
These are baked lentil dumplings dipped in yogurt and topped with spices. To make it low in calorie I have baked vadas instead of deep fry; Also used yellow moong dal instead of urad dal, which is packed with calcium and proteins. (Though I bake many dishes but to bake vadas the confidence came only after checking post from Vidya @ Traditionally Modern Food).
This appetizer can be served with dates -tamarind chutney or mint chutney.

Mixed berry and Mango – Panna cotta/Mousse: Vegan
About:
Panna cotta is an Italian classic and simple dessert. It is made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar mixing with gelatin and letting it to set. Here I veganised by using coconut milk and replaced sugar with honey and to make it vegetarian friendly used agar- agar(Chinese grass) instead of gelatin.
This is deliciously light and creamy mango layer blends perfectly with berry compote. You can alter the layer according to preference. If setting two layer is tedious just skip agar-agar and top mango panna cotta with berry sauce and enjoy .
