Traditional Diwali desserts\u2014like ladoos, halwa, barfi, and gulab jamun\u2014are usually prepared using generous amounts of ghee and sugar, lending them their rich flavor and distinctive aroma. However, the abundance of saturated fats and excess calories in these recipes can pose health risks, especially for those concerned about heart health or managing weight and cholesterol levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As more people become health-conscious, there\u2019s a rising demand for lighter, heart-friendly alternatives without compromising festive joy or authentic Indian taste.
