Scores of diet plans, workout charts and other dos and don’ts are followed by us when we start our weight loss process. Everybody has endless information regarding the diet to be followed while losing weight, but they are not aware of the method of cooking which is equally important if we want to lose weight. Foods when cooked properly can certainly retain the nutrients and aid in weight loss. The following healthy cooking techniques will not only help you manage your weight but will also not seize the flavor and taste of the food you love to eat.

Bigger cuts of vegetables- Cut vegetables into bigger pieces as they absorb less oil. If you want to cut down on fat intake lightly coat the ingredients with oil before you cook them, it is healthier and tastier at the same time. Big pieces will retain the moisture and natural color of the vegetables. Thereby preventing its nutrient value as well.

Keep the skin of the vegetable to get maximum nutrients from it. The fiber in the peels keeps the stomach full and prevents the urge of snacking frequently. Leave the skin on foods like apples, potatoes, cucumber, brinjals and tomatoes.

Freshly ground spices like black pepper and cardamom possess immune-boosting health benefits and prevent weight gain. These spices give flavor to the meals without adding extra calories or sodium to it.

Fresh rosemary, basil, curry leaves can make an ordinary dish look fresh and delectable.

Microwaving vegetables has advantages of retaining the nutrients in them and is less time taking. Steaming vegetables in the microwave is an excellent technique to cook food without adding fact to the ingredients. according to a study microwaving broccoli preserved more vitamin C than stimming or boiling it.

When the ingredients are deep fried fat is absorbed in the food and vegetables dehydrate. Sauté’ vegetables in virgin olive oil is a great way to cook them. olive oil is a great option for sorting because it has one of the highest levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients of the cooking oils.

1. Sautéed veggies – Rinse and dice carrot, capsicum, zucchini, onion, peas and some tofu cubes. Now heat half tsp of olive oil in a pan and sauté the veggies and tofu. Cover it for 5 minutes, now stir for some time. Add a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, oregano and few basil leaves. Healthy meal is ready to eat.

2. Instant dhokla- Take a bowl of ‘sooji’ mix it with a bowl of sour curd and make a fine batter of it by stirring well. Add some water if the consistency of the batter is thick. Now cover it and keep the batter aside for half an hour. Cut fresh vegetables of your choice and mix them in the batter, add salt and chopped curry leaves to it. Now stir the batter well and add a sachet of Eno or half tsp of baking soda to the batter. Grease a small baking pan with olive oil and pour the batter in it. Steam it for 20 to 25 minutes and meanwhile prepare a seasoning of curry leaves and mustard seeds. Now gently remove the cooked dhokla’s sponge from the baking pan and cut it into pieces, garnish the pieces with the seasoning prepared.
