Occasionally my kitchen is attacked by healthy eating bug 😆And it’s that time of the year when my husband realizes that he wants to get in shape and so no more tel and masala in his food.

I don’t have any issue in cooking diet food, but problem arises when he is not ready to comprise on the flavor.

I agree there are many recipes that fit into taste bhi health bhi category. But then most of healthy thing he is not ready to eat like oats , chickpeas, Kidney beans and the list is endless….

So the safest bet is Stir fry with grilled meat in the side. Broccoli is a wonder vegetable full of fiber, antioxidants, great source vitamin C and K. It also helps reduce weight as it is low in calories,do try and incorporate in your meals regularly.
