We all know how important it
is to include
fresh vegetables and fruits
in our diet. These
vegetable recipes help us get the vital nutrients for maintaining good
health.
Eating lots of vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of many
diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood
pressure. Vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories, and have no
cholesterol, and as such are ideal for weight-loss
diets.
Make your meals more healthy and nutritious with these delicious and
easy Indian and fusion vegetable recipes. You will find health benefits and nutrient
information for various vegetables on
the
main vegetable pages such as Sweet Potato Recipes, Eggplant
Recipes, Okra Recipes, and so on.
Fresh vegetables work best for Indian cooking. Frozen or canned
vegetables don't retain the texture and freshness that contribute to
the taste of Indian dishes.
The exception are beans and peas. When using frozen or canned peas, add
them towards the end of your cooking, to avoid overcooking.
