Hello Foodies,

Welcome to year 2020!! Hope you had a great-start of the new year and set some meaningful goals for the year. One of the common new year resolution is to focus on improving health and start working-out. While exercising is essential for maintaining good health, it is equally important to eat healthy food to complement your efforts in the gym. To satisfy your hunger after a tiring workout, you need some delicious yet healthy dish to reward yourself. I keep trying to find more such healthy options to give my family a healthier diet. Some of the healthy recipes that I posted before on my blog are Avocado Paratha and Methi Dana Sabji. You must check these out if you haven’t already done so.

Today’s recipe “Quinoa Khichdi” is another addition to our list of healthy recipes. Quinoa is rich in fiber and protein and can be a great replacement for the grains with high-calories such as white rice. Making it in the form of Khichdi will make it taste better along with adding the goodness of veggies and lentils. People who do like Khichdi but trying to reduce carbs should definitely try this yummy variation. Let us know how you find it in the comments. Thanks.

Today’s life is busy and fast-moving. Our health is at a greater level of risk due to the rise of the unhealthy lifestyle and popularity of junk food. This is probably why I keep getting frequent requests for more and more healthy food ideas. A few days ago, I posted one such healthy recipe Avocado Paratha which has some interesting health benefits at the same time it’s quite delicious too. This recipe received a great response from the readers of my blog.

Today’s recipe “Methi-Dana Sabji” also follows the same “healthy-yet-tasty” approach. Methi Dana (Fenugreek Seeds) apart from being antioxidant and antidiabetic it is also a great source of fibre, proteins, magnesium, iron, manganese and vitamin B6. It reduces blood cholesterol, controls blood sugar levels, helps losing weight and improves digestion Ingredients. These are just a subset of its numerous health advantages, for a detailed list of its benefits click here. Despite its goodness, Methi dana is not very popular probably because of its bitter taste. Therefore, this recipe uses jaggery to lessen the bitter taste and make it a more “tastebud-friendly” dish and goes well with paratha, poori or chapati. This dish also lasts long (6-7 days) when refrigerated in airtight container. The process to make this curry is fairly easy and ingredients are commonly available in a typical Indian kitchen.

So wait no more…take this unsung hero out from the back of your kitchen-shelf and try your hands at another “healthy-yet-tasty” dish.
