My daily practice involves not only giving dietary advice to my clients but suggesting them healthy recipes too. Some old times tested ones, some innovative freshly out of my mind and then there are some which my clients have tried and suggested to me. One such recipe is by Aditi Patil. And am sharing it here with you in her own words.

And am sharing it here with you in her own words. Food acts as fuel for the body and we all know it. But how often do we think about what we eat, how we eat and most importantly, how and where is it cooked. Which begs the question, are we entirely aware of what we eat ? When I met Dietitian Himani, way back in 2016, I was one amongst those teens who wouldn’t care enough for the super amazing body gifted to us. But once you realise what good food can do to your physical abilities and in turn your mental health, your approach changes, your lifestyle changes drastically! Suddenly those midnight cravings for junks snacks are replaced by a heathlier alternative! Ever since, both ma’am and I have been experimenting with different diet plans for me (most of which focused on gaining weight). And me on how to make healthy meals tastier! One of my experiments is on our conventional vegetable cutlets 🙂
