Healthy Recipe Ideas
Quick Cake and Fruit Parfait
Crumble one slice of the tea cake into a glass. Add a layer of thick, plain yogurt (dahi). Top with a handful of mixed berries or chopped seasonal fruit. Repeat the layers and serve chilled for a balanced dessert.
Health Benefits
This parfait adds fiber, vitamins, and probiotics from the fruit and yogurt, balancing the cake's refined carbohydrates and sugar.
Fruity Cake Skewers
Cut a slice of cake into cubes. Dip the cubes in a small bowl of low-fat milk. Thread the cake cubes onto skewers, alternating with chunks of apple and banana. Lightly toast on a pan or serve as is.
Health Benefits
Pairing the cake with fresh fruit adds natural sweetness, vitamins, and fiber, making it a more wholesome snack.
Additive Analysis
The product contains preservatives (INS 202, INS 282), artificial flavors, and multiple emulsifiers, stabilizers, and humectants (Sorbitol - INS 420(ii)). While these are approved by FSSAI for use within permissible limits, a high intake of processed foods with numerous additives is not recommended for long-term health. Sorbitol may cause digestive issues in some individuals.

Artificial Flavors
Marketing Claims
The claim 'perfect blend of vanilla & soft butter' is questionable. The ingredients show that butter constitutes only 4.9% of the product, with the primary fat being refined vegetable fat. Furthermore, the vanilla flavor is artificial. This phrasing may mislead consumers into believing butter is a primary ingredient and the flavor is natural, which is not the case.
