3 Indian Dishes with High Nutrition Levels

1. PALAK PANEER:

Spinach is also known as Palak in Hindi is a leafy green. It is not only good for overall health but also is a source of vitamins & minerals. Spinach is a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, magnesium, iron, and manganese.

Paneer made of low-fat cow milk is low on fat and high on protein. If you have a weak or sensitive digestive system, paneer can cause bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. You can replace it with Tofu which is a soy product.

2. PARATHAS

Parathas are my personal favorite. A paratha is a flatbread native to the Indian subcontinent. Paratha is an amalgamation of the words parat and atta, which means layers of cooked dough(wheat). They are eaten for breakfast but can be had for lunch and dinner.

There are so many ways parathas can be made with variations in their stuffing. It can be made using spinach, beetroot, pumpkin, carrot, potato, cabbage etc.

3.DOSA

A dosa is a thin pancake or crepe, originating from South India, made from afermented batter predominantly of lentils and rice. A healthy breakfast option is a dosa with chutney and sambar. 

Chutney is made from fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs with vinegar, sugar, and spices. Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew/porridge/soup, cooked with pigeon pea and tamarind broth. Other than chutney at breakfast, dosas are also eaten with red meat dishes. 

I hope this helps to improve nutritional levels.
