We all know that diabetes is difficult to control. But it can be more difficult for diabetics to resist the temptation of all those heavenly sweets that are an intrinsic part of Indian homes. From barfi to kheer to halwa, no Indian meal is complete without the ultimate serving of these delicious sweets. For all those diabetics who have a sweet tooth, we have a recipe for halwa that you can taste without any blame.
This gluten-free pudding is made from polenta flour – ground cornmeal. You can easily find this flour in grocery stores. It’s gluten-free flour, which makes it a nice addition to a diabetic diet, Another special thing about this halwa is that it is sugar free. The recipe uses bananas to add some sweetness to the dessert. And the rich and creamy texture of the halwa which will make up for the lack of sugar will reduce the sweetness of the sugar.
