Friends, if you have more ideas, please share in the comments
section. My sister, Sowmya, has one to add. @Sowmya: Waiting for your inputs.
I would prefer a glass of milk and a Carrot, it's pretty good. You can even try having carrot milk after you wake up but if you are time constrained, go with the former one. You can munch a carrot even while travel to your college/work place. Adding dry fruits to this diet is also a good option.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sowmya. Personally, I am not a big fan of raw carrots. But others might find this tip useful.
DeleteOmg..U seriously make paratha in just 15 mins....Kudos to U...!! I tried methi paratha last sunday and I literally took 2 hrs to make them!
ReplyDelete@Maddy: When I was new to cooking, I too took a lot of time. I have improved now. If it's for only 2 people, making parathas in 15min is fine.
