Festivities make you want to hide that weighing scale under the bed, as you are bound to do justice to all the goodies delivered to your doorstep. Anjana Vaswani finds a way to keep you from cracking the scales this Diwali by cooking healthy food at home. Here are some recipes that amalgamate health and happiness
BEETROOT AND DATE HALWA
Kebab Korner at the Intercontinental, Marine Drive is where you can have some of the best North Indian food in the city. Though the restaurant prides itself on using traditional cooking techniques to prepare its lip-smacking recipes, Executive Chef Paul Kinny, devised a special healthy halwa. Beetroot is a great source of iron, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B6 and C, while dates are a rich source of fibre. The jaggery reduces levels of LDL cholesterol.
