Here's a portion control plate which has a comforting tadkewali masoor dal served alongside some aloo karela sabzi, cabbage poriyal, phulka and dahi. Whole masoor dal is high in fiber and rice on protein, the tadka on top makes it absolutely delicious. The Karela Aloo Sabzi is a masaledar dry sabzi that goes perfectly well with the dal and to add more nutrition on our plate is the addition of cabbage poriyal.
Curd is a cooling element that brings in the calcium and phulka fill us in on the required carbs. Cabbage are a great source of Vitamin C and rich in antioxidants. It helps in building up the immune system and prevents common cold.
Tips : Instead of a plain phulka, you can add whole Wheat Millet Phulka, Jowar Phulkas to keep it diabetic friendly as well. You can also add a salad of your choice and include a bowl of Mixed Raita instead of plain curd to make this meal more nutritious, filling, and interesting.
Eating all of these nutrients in the right quantities is the key. This healthy meal is packed with nutrients, and eating the right amount of food is equally important. To eat slowly and mindfully with no distraction and concentrating on your plate should be your priority.
