people complained of sugar or cholesterol or for that matter even a bad eye sight for quite a long time. My young cousin had had his goggles when he was 8 years old - huh! Poor diet and lifestyle for sure is the root cause for ailments at young age – atleast in most of the cases. No wonder dieticians, doctors and health representatives world wide, are screaming at the top of their heads to have our 5 - 6 servings of vegetables and fruits per day.Well let’s not discuss any more about what has changed so much nowadays - Any day - vegetable and fruits are the richest source of food - this is no Greek and Latin. And so here is a simple recipe that I invented out of sheer frustration to have my 3 - 4 servings of vegetables somehow on a day. Equally added to the frustration was my interest to try out something new and healthy. I think I succeeded in this attempt as the end product was definitely nutritious and a tasty side dish for any time salad lovers like me.
The Recipe
- 5 - 6 Baby carrots
- 2 tablespoon of Cabbage
- 1/4 of a medium size onion
- 1/4 of a large sized tomato
- A hand full of peas
- 2 - 3 medium sized cauliflower florets
- A piece of ginger
- Finely chopped garlic – 1
- 1 tsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Henceforth referred as EVOO in this site
Chop the veggies and mix all the ingredients
Microwave for 3 minutes
Remove and mix again
Microwave for another 2 minutes
Remove and add a little pepper and chopped parsley and serve hot with chapathis / dosas.
Believe me - it tastes like heaven without even salt. Yes - the dish has got the tanginess from onion that would compensate the salty taste and ofcourse you have the ginger and garlic for that aroma. What more do you need? As the veggies are microwaved, the nutrients are almost preserved making it a perfect healthy side dish.
