let's make food in a healthy way with clay pot 🍯
It is important to make regular dish with some twist so that we don't get bored. Round gourd vegetable ( tinde ki sabji) is quite common to our families, especially in north India. This is a light, healthy vegetable which is good option for vegetarian.
And if it is made in a more healthy way then it becomes even better. We can make it in an clay pot instead of kadai and fry pan.
There are many benefits of cooking in clay pot , like :
- We need less oil to make any recipe.
- The food is cooked on low flame and tastes very good.
- Whichever vessel we cook food in, its metal gets mixed with food, according to aayurdeva Clay is good for health , so it is good to cook food in the clay pot.
yes it takes a little more time, But the food is healthy and full of taste.
This time i made this tinde ki sabji in a very simple way, using Just tinde (round gourd) , green chilli and some herbs.
Mostly i also cook food using fry pan and pressure cooker. But now a days i inspired by my father in law and sister in law, so we start to cook some recipe in clay pot. Which is easy and simple to make. We can enjoy this with chapati at our lunch dinner.
