Craving for mid afternoon snacks?? steamed and sauted veggies to the rescue

What do you do when a strong craving strikes somewhere around mid-afternoon?? Think 💭 about a piece of cake 🍰or doughnut 🍩 or a packet of chips or French fries 🍟?? irresistible right?

Hey! what about your healthy eating resolution??

Don't worry, good newz is that we can snack guilt free on something that's healthy and at the same time yummy as well 😋

One of my favorite is stir fried steamed veggies. 


Ingredients

  • 1 bowl of cubed veggies of your choice (I took carrot, sweet potato, and papaya)
  • 1 green chilli (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. cumin seed
  • 2 tbsp. ghee (I took my homemade one)
  • Rock salt to taste, you can take normal salt also unless you are fasting
  • Black pepper powder
  • Garnish, 1 tbsp. cilantro chopped (optional)

Method

  • Steam the cubed veggies in such a way that they are still crunchy.
  • Heat 2 tbsp. ghee in a wok, add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
  • Add the sliced green chili and sauté it.
  • Add all the steamed vegetables and sauté a little.
  • Add rock salt and black pepper.
  • Your yummy and healthy mid-afternoon snack is ready to munch on 😊

My other healthy munching options are;

  • Raw or steamed veggies with hummus
  • Handful of dry fruits
  • Yogurt with fruits
  • Baked banana chips
  • Roasted peanut masala
  • Any kind milkshake with fruits, banana milkshake is the easiest one 😝😝

Let me know which one is your favorite??
