One swap that cut oil or sugar in family meals — what actually went unnoticed?
Weeknight sabzis, dal, rotis or the occasional mithai — changing recipes can spark complaints. What’s one small ingredient swap you used in everyday family cooking that cut oil or sugar but didn’t change the taste or acceptance? Say what you swapped and how you used it (quick details welcome).

Swap: replace 25–50% of added sugar in mithai/bakes with unsweetened fruit purée (mashed ripe banana or cooked apple puree). It preserves moisture and sweetness; start at 25% and adjust. To keep perceived sweetness, add a pinch of salt and a little cardamom/vanilla or lemon zest. WHO/NIN advice to limit free sugars supports reducing added sugar where possible. Note: puree may change colour/flavour—test first.
