Friends,
Today’s dish
is dedicated to all my diet conscious friends! Isn’t it an issue close to our
heart. While reading humorous material on healthy food I came across a funny
quote…….
“I need to
start eating healthier, but first I need to eat all the junk food in the
house so it is not there to tempt me anymore!!
It is really
a challenge to keep healthy eating habits. It is not a one day, or a one
week’s job, we need to develop an attitude of eating right which is the most
difficult thing! Anyways there are better advisory authorities to recommend
healthy food. I just wish to share my favorite dish when I suddenly wake up
one fine day and get frustrated by the weighing scale reading ;) So please try this and give me feedback. I
hope you will like it. Cooked veggies packed with fiber and proteins. You
will love to see the colorful refreshing ingredients.
Just to
share some facts about colorful food please read this:
Red (tomatoes and bell pepper) are rich in
antioxidants lycopene and anthocyanins, according
to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Green
(mutter / peas and bell pepper) are good for your
eyes, bones and teeth, and their vitamin K content helps your blood to clot
properly.
Orange
and yellow ( Carrots and bell pepper) are rich in
beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, a nutrient that not
only improves night vision, but also helps keep your skin, teeth and bones
healthy. They also contain folate, an antioxidant that prevents neural tube
defects in unborn infants.
White (mushrooms, baby-corns,
paneer and onions) are high in dietary fiber, helping to
protect you from high cholesterol, and antioxidant-rich flavonoids, such as
quercetin. They may also lower your risk of stroke, according to a group of
Dutch researchers who published a study with the American Heart Association
in 2011.
After the veggies are cooked, add 2 table spoons minced fresh oregano, 2 table spoon chill flakes, 2 table-spoons of black pepper powder and salt to taste. Its a full meal in itself. Have this generously and treat yourself with the rich nutrients with very low caloric value.
If you wish to make it as "subji" then add some chat masala or any masala powder of your choice, and it is ready to be served with roti / chapati / phulka / paratha or even rice!!!
