By Sandhya Agrawal
“Food that is delicious is bad for you” – Yeah, this is a myth for sure! Not only is junk food addictive, but it’s also readily available too. Therefore, considering the unhealthy quotient therein, we end up finding paradise in a box of chocolates and a bowl of noodles. But, in Odisha, there are also nutritious choices that are incredibly tasty and mouth-watering and can kick off the junk food craving! Here’s a list of exciting fast grabs from Odisha that will not only fulfil your desires but will also thank your body later on.

IDLI WITH GUGUNI
Idli is a black bean and rice batter which looks like a rice cake, but the Indian version. Guguni is a curry with boiled yellow peas. People eat idli with sambar and chutney in other parts of India. The people of Odisha, however, prefer to have their idlis smothered in Guguni. Bara Guguni is Odisha’s most beloved choice for breakfast, but deep-friend Bara does not fit our concept of good. So, Idli with Guguni is both balanced and delicious.

CHAKULI DALMA
One of the highlights of Odia cuisine is Dalma. It’s daal because it goes by the name but with a lot of starch like potato, pumpkin and other vegetables in it and then it’s lightly spiced. It becomes a wholesome meal when combined with rice and is a balanced snack when combined with Chakuli. Chakuli is the Indian version of Crepes. For breakfast as well as their evening snack, people in Odisha tend to have Chakuli with Dalma.
