Navratri foods: 3 full-energy lunches to replenish energy

Nutritionist Sheela Tanna shares a few recipes
Moringa / drumstick soup
Instead of the usual tomato soup or mixed vegetable soup, can you choose chicken thigh soup? It will make your hair and skin glow. It is also said to help strengthen bones.
To make: Cut the drumstick. Add this to the sautéed onion and garlic along with the dudhi and pressure cook. When the soup is ready, season with salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon for extra vitamin C. Serve with veggie sandwiches.
Moong dal + paneer dosa with coconut chutney
If you love dosas, this time instead of the usual, eat this protein-packed dosa for a healthy bite.
To make: Mix the soaked moong dal and paneer in a mixer and add the chopped Da Lat peppers, onions, tomatoes, and coriander. Make a portion of the mixture and serve with coconut chutney (this makes for good fats). It is definitely a meal that will be very energizing.
Mix dal khichdi
Your favorite comfort food gets healthier here with all-time favorite khichdi.
To make: Mix all the dishes together with brown rice and vegetables. Add green masala: onion + garlic + seasoning + kotmir + ginger. Also add salt and cow’s milk butter. This grainy Khichdi is a meal and has a low glycemic index. Beef salad is good fat and will never lower your energy levels. Serve this with curd kadhi/raita.
