I often hear people discussing gluten allergy. They feel cast off that they cannot enjoy regular food or they may have to give up on their favourite food like pizzas or parathas, etc.
So what is gluten? Gluten is essentially a type of protein found in wheat, barley, and related grains & gluten sensitivity is the body rejecting it. This intolerance comes in the form of several health problems such as celiac disease, gastrointestinal disorders etc. In most of the cases, a gluten-free diet is found to be an effective treatment. But at the same time, it’s a challenge to exclude gluten from our diet. Eating gluten-free doesn’t have to mean that you miss out on tasty treats, the challenge can make it more amazing. As the festive season is around the corner, I bring one more gluten-free snack. Tried making this mathri (chips) in Ganesh Utsav for the first time and my 7 yr old daughter, Vedika, can't seem to get enough of it. This festive season try making this unusual snack, instead of the regular mathri and spread the joy of cooking!
