Healthy Meals - 29 January 2007

In the last of the series of eating healthy mailers I’d like to share with you some healthy main course recipes. Preparing food with little or no oil is not very difficult. Everyday food can be made healthy by substituting high calorie ingredients like ghee and butter for low fat butter or just a teaspoon of oil. Low fat milk and cheese can be used instead of high fat milk and cheese. Substituting paneer made from high fat milk with tofu or low fat paneer is also another example. Make your meal healthy by using fresh vegetables and not overcooking them thus allowing them to retain their goodness.

Here are some nutritious and delicious recipes that you can prepare in a jiffy and enjoy with the whole family.

Regards,
