I am American. Over the Summer, I started cooking Indian food with the help of RUclips and it is so flavorful, that it’s all I cook!! I do eat a little bit of meat, but mostly vegetables. I am lactose intolerant, so I limit or avoid dairy. Also, I avoid deep frying any foods. I gained a minimal amount of weight (because it tastes SO good!!!), but I believe I get much more nutrients than with a typical healthy American diet. It really has a lot to do with how you cook and prepare your food and if your food is fresh. I am addicted to Indian food!!!🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So true!! Love this 🥰💕 Indian traditional food is based on Ayurveda (Ancient Indian Medical Science). When cooked traditional way it can be amazing for our physical, emotional and spiritual health 🙏🙏💖💖💖
Thanks for the information. I have had a mostly vegetarian diet since I was teenager. Had a family member tell me it was against God, but here I am many years later still on a mostly vegetarian diet. I am quite a bit healthier than that family member plus look quite a bit younger than my actual age possibly from a vegetarian diet. I think all cuisine has healthy choices. Just need to eat all things in moderation to keep a healthy diet. Indian and Mexican food are my two favorite cuisines.
Bhavna, very informative video.. Kalpana, I was listening to the video but enjoying your kitchen whatever little I saw, looks so lovely.. I love the location of the microwave and the open shelves with traditional Indian vessels..will you please post a video of your kitchen? Or even better.. Can you make 3 svelte meals for a day in that kitchen.. you may have many followers who can come in from different directions like kitchen remodel followers along with healthy eaters from India and rest of the world as well
I have a question I am considering buying a copper drink bottle do you use/ would you recommend it to drink everyday from? What is your opinion or knowledge about it? From what I researched its safe up to 3 cups to drink from it everyday.
Traditional Indian cooking (especially South Indian) is mostly steaming vegetables and then seasoning. earlier in the days oil was expensive and was used sparingly (just for tadka) to flavor the meal and absorption of fat soluble vitamins. The trend changed in 80s and 90s and now pretty much deep fried. I agree with you in terms of over cooking the vegetables
@@sveltezone9325 , steaming too is a problem. One should just steam enough. I know lots of ppl ( even in my family) the veggies are steamed in a cooker. And by the time they are cooked they are well done. Like there is no life left . lol . Another thing is we say this spice is good for this and that. We never actually taste the veggie or even meat for that matter. It’s so smothered in spice the original flavour itself is not there. That is one thing I like about western cooking . We might find it bland but if they steam carrots then we can actually taste the carrots. I like some South Indian poriyals where we can taste the vegetables
Good topic. A couple of points 1) tone down the Chilli and garlic - too much of both is not good for health 2) we should include millets into our diet - rather than Just rice / wheat / maida 3) Indian rice has very low nutritional value (not sure what are the reasons) 4) We cook our food too much, which also leads to loss of nutrition. Too much Onion in our diet which is also perhaps not good. 5) Over the last 40 years, our vegetables have lost nutritonal value due to excessive chemical farming. Our Fruits too are not varied as it was before. Chemical farming has destroyed our SOIL, agriculture. GM food could also be harmful in long run.
Chilis, garlic, and onions are powerful medicine for the body and are very good. I use all liberally in my cooking and we are rarely sick here. Not sure where you're getting your information regarding them.
@@naturalvee67 - anything in moderation is ok, just bcoz something is medicinal, does not mean you use it regularly... ‼️ The very fact that onions gives you tears when you cut open, indicates it is not good for the body. In Ayurveda - all three are negative pranic - garlic, chilli, onion.

Wow looks like your hair is growing good, are you following any specific diet? If you do please share. Thanks in advance
Hi Nutan I focus on my overall health and not just hair. I have already shared many of my routine videos. Please watch them.
I love Indian vegetarian cooking but I believe we cook our vegetables to death. I think we should stop doing that.
I like mine crunchy and not overcooked
