This diet blends in all required flavours, textures, colors and nutrients harmoniously, promoting health. Not only are the foods included important, cooking method equally contributes to its nutritional value.

A complete lunch thali, vegetables cooked with rock salt and water, on low flame in steel utensils, no oil added, for spices it is roasted and ground cumin, fennel, coriander and black pepper.
Vegetables are freshly chopped and cooked on slow flame for about two hours in iron/anodised/earthen/steel utensils. This method ensures all nutrients are properly broken down and bioavailable. Other methods of cooking like pressuring cooking or microwaving only makes food soft, not bioavailable. Also tomatoes should be added just 15 minutes before the vegetables are taken off the flame. Breads made from freshly kneaded flour. Also salad is freshly grated and so is chutney. We have beans, tomato and potato green vegetable;, pumpkin, beetroot and carrot red vegetable; garnished with fresh coriander, cranberry and chilly chutney, mixed salad and Jau/whole-wheat flatbread. A full meal yet lighter on our body.
Do away with pressure cooking and microwaving, let your vegetables and lentils simmer on low flame, one can add spices/butter to taste while serving. Simple meals!
