Today's Lunch.



A small portion of rice with cooked daal (pulses) and some cooked beans curry.

A big bowl of steamed banana stem cooked with yoghurt. (Banana stem is highly fibrous and is very beneficial for those on a weight-loss program. It is also a rich source of potassium and vitamin B6 which helps in the production of insulin and hemoglobin. Eating banana stem once a week keeps high blood pressure in control. Banana stem also maintains fluid balance within the body. It is diuretic and helps detoxify the body. The popular belief is that eating banana stem is very good for kidney stones.

Small bowl of hot Rasam with tomatoes. (Rasam is like a hot pepper thin soup which is good for the throat).
Last but not the least, my everyday dish; a bowl of cooked greens.

I try to devour most of the vegetables again with a small bowl of oats for dinner. And of course, my fruit time is an evening snack.
