Binge Recipe – Apple Phirni

Living with a disease like diabetes is challenging enough, so why does dessert time have to ring alarm bells? Shouldn’t there be a reward for the hard work of maintaining sugar levels through a healthy diet and continuous exercise? Well, there is!

Here’s a special Apple Phirni recipe that’s relatively healthier than shop-made desserts, approved by our inhouse dietician, Ms. Mokshika Gada.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup coarsely powdered quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup grated apple (unpeeled)
2 cups low-fat milk 
1 ½  tsp sugar free

METHOD:

1. Heat the milk in a deep non-stick pan and bring it to a boil.
2. Add the oats, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
3. Remove from the flame, add the sugar free, mix well and keep aside to cool slightly.
4. Add the apple, mix well and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Serve chilled.
