We all know that eating right can help you maintain a healthy weight and avoid certain health problems, but your diet can also have a profound effect on your mood and sense of well being. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, cooking meals at home, and reducing your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, may help to improve mood and lower your risk for mental health problems. If you have already been diagnosed with a mental health problem, eating well can even help to manage your symptoms and regain control of your life.
Eating foods high in dietary fiber can help you stay regular, lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and help you lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, nutrition experts recommend you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day for optimal health. Many of us aren't eating half that amount.
Spinach is available all year round but is in season during the spring. Here in Qatar, its not so easy to find Green vegetables (Specially leafy veggies) of your choice, But when I get it I grab it...Spinach is well known for its nutritional qualities and has always been regarded as a plant with remarkable abilities to restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood. There are sound reasons why spinach would produce such results, primarily the fact that it is rich in iron. Gram flour contains a high proportion of carbohydrates, no gluten, and a higher proportion of protein than other flours. And the Combination of Gram flour and Yogurt with the addition of Spinach makes your meal perfectly Complete and so so Healthy!! Isn't it?
Kadhi is a spicy dish whose thick gravy is based on Gram flour (Besan) and contains vegetable fritters called Pakoras, to which sour yogurt is added to give it little sour taste. Some people make plain kadhi also without Pakoras..Here I am using Spinach also to make this healthy and delicious Kadhi in my dinner tonight. But adding a good amount of fiber is also essential in our regular diet, So what else can we make in the combination of Khichdi and kadhi??? So to increase a quantity of fiber in our body, I tried to make Whole Green Moong khichdi with this delicious kadhi...The combination is outstanding...Because Whole Moong is a full of high in fiber and good source to reduce a weight. So If you want to enjoy some healthy meal in your lunch or dinner, Try this yummy healthy Low in calori and delicious Palak ki kadhi with Whole Moong ki khichdi....Check out the step by step recipe below and Enjoyyyyyyyyyy your Healthy Meal!!!!
