About

Hey,

Have you ever wondered what is the science behind cooking?? We've always said that cooking is both science and art.

The art part of it is known and practised by all.. But the science part of it is neglected unless you are into the field of Food Science, nutrition, food technology, or the like where you have taken up food as a profession..

So, here I am, with a Master's degree in Food Science and Nutrition, trying to share my knowledge and impart the bit of education that I've received over the years.

While I do that, I cannot neglect the nutritionist in me. I shall share some of my super nutrition tips and ways to eat healthy, tasty and easy foods. And never will you have to leave your favorite foods. You can simply modify them to make it healthier!  

I do believe in eating original and traditional and so you can also read about the benefits of our "culture foods" as I call them, and start living healthy with easily available foods.

So keep reading my blogs, and do write in your queries at anytime, any hour and I'll be more than happy to solve them. Also send in any suggestions for me to improve.

Regards,
Anvi Damani

Bajra Papad v/s normal Papad: Top 10 benefits

Image
How many papads do we have in the market? Plenty! Probably we don’t even know the variety of flavour and types available. But the most common ones that we consume is urad dal Papad and khichiya Papad (which is most commonly consumed by the Gujarati’s or marwaris). So here comes Bajra Papad with an all new healthy prospects and along with that rises the question, why? Why bajra Papad? Here I enlist a few of the benefits of bajra papads and why and how should they be preferred over the others!! 1. India is the  largest  producer of bajra or pearl millet in the world. So naturally it should be our privilege to be able to utilise our own produce in our day to day life and especially when millets are so nutritious. Also it forms a cheap supply of health and nutrition to our poverty stricken areas. Go Swadeshi! 2.  Nutritional   Value  of Pearl Millet: 100g of bajra contain: Proteins: 10.9g Fat: 5.4g Carbohydrates : 61.7g Energy: 347.9kcal Iron: 6.42mg Calcium: 27.35mg Fibre: 11.

Make your food Healthy

Paneer Cutlets Cutlets? Favourite? Fried? No no no. The third one absolutely untrue... This is one of the healthiest Indian starter option. Loaded with proteins and cooked with low oil. Absolutely not deep fried, but shallow fried with minimum oil. Ways to make normal cooking healthy? 1. replace potatoes with chick pea, paneer, or any other protein source that you like. 2. shallow fry instead of deep frying 3. serve with a hung curd dip with the flavour of your choice. You can replace your mayonnaise with hung curd. Your guests will definitely not miss the mayo!!  4. try to use specialty ingredients such as flax seeds, til seeds, ajwain, whole jeera etc, for two reasons. i. Added nutrients which we not think makes a difference, but it sure completely works for your body!! ii. For added flavour. Our palette loves the Indian flavor. The moment we use such ingredients, we feel the love of our mothers and as a result we may just happily eat more nutrition than

Why do we overeat?

It's nothing new that we, especially Indians, overeat to the heart's core. Unless we feel the tummy may now Burst, or till we feel the food has come uptil the neck, or unless we take a burp, we Havnt fed ourselves enough. But we also are well aware of the nausea, uneasiness, feeling bloated, gain in weight and increase in lifestyle disorders such as obesity and diabetes etc., as some of the after effects. Then why do we over eat? Why can't we control? Why do we not understand when we are *just full* and at what stage are we overeating?? Here's the answer. We usually consume only 3 large meals during the day, next breakfast, lunch and dinner; with a small fried snack in the evening. As a result we are too hungry by the time my major meal is going to be served. As soon as it is served, we starting hogging food, eating at a really fast pace. Sometime we don't even realise that I'm eating fast, unless towards the end of the meal, we slow down... Be
