“Tough times cannot break our festive spirit, so even if I can’t bring you a new recipe this time around… here are two of my favourite Christmas recipes that you can try this year: Baked Kalkals and Healthy Fruit Cake. Let’s eat healthy & stay safe, while we maintain necessary protocols, this festive season. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!” wrote Shilpa Shetty in the caption.
Kalkal is a deep-fried sweet pastry from the Goan cuisine, traditionally made during the Christmas festivities. It usually comes in the shape of balls from the dough (made with maida and ghee, and is deep-fried) but Shilpa’s recipe uses whole wheat flour and coconut sugar for the balls, which are then baked to perfection.

Fruit cake, on the other hand, also has maida and sugar, but Shilpa used semolina and ginger powder mixed with fruit juice-soaked dry fruits. She drizzled freshly-made jam on the top of the cake slices. Sugar-free, healthy and absolutely delicious! Perhaps that’s the mantra Shilpa follows for her diet as well.
We are pretty sure this is the best way to make your Christmas treats a healthier. Try these yummy recipes from Shilpa Shetty’s kitchen at home and share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
