Health Tips

General health tips include tips to keep healthy & lose weight.

What is a healthy life? A life where you have no disease condition or a life where your body is doing physically good,

or a life where your mind is at peace or a life where you have a social circle and well-being?

 

 

Well to answer this question, you should analyze your life and think about what actually health is.

 

 

Health as defined by WHO as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

So that means, health is not only just being free of a disease condition, but in order to be healthy, one must be sound physically, mentally, and socially.

 

 

Health tips not only include what one should eat and not to eat, but it also includes the practice to attain a complete state of health.

 

 

If you are doing well physically and mentally but not consuming the required amount of nutrition that your body requires,

you will not be able to achieve your health goal to the fullest. Physical activity, mental health, social well-being, and dietary habits go hand in hand to live a healthy life.

 

 

Health tips will provide you with an outlook of how you can be healthy by putting in just a few efforts and making your health a priority.

 

 

Because if your body is in a state of health, you will be in a state of overall well-being. So choose yourself and your health over anything else!

Nutrition (Approx. 1 Serving)

  • Protein: ~25 g
  • Calories: ~280–350 kcal
  • Time: 7–10 mins

Ingredients

Base

  • 200 g firm tofu
  • 1 tsp oil (olive oil or butter)

Seasoning

  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Step 1: Prep the Tofu

Use:

  • firm or extra-firm tofu

Drain excess water.

For better texture:

  • Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel.
  • Press gently for 2–3 minutes.

Break it apart using your hands or fork.

You want:

  • uneven crumbles
  • similar to scrambled eggs

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick pan on medium heat.

Add:

  • 1 tsp oil

If using vegetables:

  • sauté onions/capsicum for 1–2 minutes first.

Step 3: Add Tofu + Seasoning

Add crumbled tofu to the pan.

Sprinkle:

  • turmeric
  • chili flakes
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Mix well so the tofu gets evenly coated.

The turmeric gives:

  • egg-like color
  • mild earthy flavor

Step 4: Cook Until Crispy

Cook on medium heat for:

  • 5–7 minutes

Stir occasionally, not constantly.

This helps the tofu:

  • brown properly

High heat burns spices before tofu crisps.

Press tofu beforehand

Removes water and improves browning

By / Fitpiq Team, Health Tips, Healthy non vegetarian Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

A high-protein, crispy savory pancake that tastes like a cross between a pizza and a moong dal chilla

Ingredients

For the Chilla Base

  • 2–3 tbsp water (for blending)
  • 1 green chili
  • 1-inch ginger
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • ¼ tsp turmeric (optional)
  • 1 tsp eno/fruit salt or ¼ tsp baking soda (optional, for extra crispness)

Pizza Toppings

Choose one protein:

  • 100 g low-fat paneer (crumbled or cubes)
    or
  • 120 g cooked shredded chicken

Vegetables:

  • ¼ onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1 small tomato, deseeded and chopped (optional)

Other toppings:

  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce or thick tomato chutney
  • 30–40 g low-fat mozzarella cheese
  • Oregano + chili flakes for garnish

For Cooking

  • 1–2 tsp olive oil or ghee spray

Step 1: Prepare the Moong Dal Batter

Wash the moong dal 3–4 times.

Soak it in water for:

  • 3–4 hours minimum
  • Overnight works even better.

Drain completely.

Blend with:

  • Green chili
  • Ginger
  • Salt
  • Very little water

You want a thick but pourable batter.

Consistency should be similar to dosa batter but slightly thicker.

Rest for 10–15 minutes.

Add:

  • Oregano
  • Chili flakes
  • Eno/baking soda (optional, just before cooking)

Step 2: Prep the Toppings

Paneer Version

  • Crumble or cube low-fat paneer.
  • Toss with:
    • pinch of salt
    • chili flakes
    • black pepper

Chicken Version

Use cooked shredded chicken.

Quick seasoning:

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Chili flakes

Vegetables

Slice onions and capsicum thinly so they cook quickly.

Step 3: Cook the Crispy Chilla Base

Heat a non-stick pan or cast-iron tawa on medium heat.

Lightly grease with oil.

Pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread gently into:

  • medium-thin circle
  • slightly thicker than a dosa

Cook on medium flame for 3–4 minutes.

Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges.

Once the bottom becomes:

  • golden
  • crisp
  • easy to lift

flip it carefully.

Cook the second side for 1–2 minutes.

Step 4: Turn It Into Pizza

Lower the flame.

Spread:

  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce

Add:

  • Paneer/chicken
  • Onion
  • Capsicum
  • Cheese

Sprinkle:

  • Oregano
  • Chili flakes

Cover with a lid.

Cook on low flame for 3–5 minutes until:

  • cheese melts
  • bottom becomes extra crispy

Step 5: Final Crisping Trick

For restaurant-style crispness:

After cheese melts:

  • uncover
  • cook 1 extra minute on medium flame

This removes moisture and crisps the base.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

  • Mint yogurt dip
  • Garlic curd dip
  • Hot sauce
  • Green chutney

Meal Prep Tips

Batter Storage

Moong batter stays good in fridge for:

  • 2 days

Prepped Toppings

Store chopped veggies and cooked chicken separately.

Reheating

Reheat on a pan instead of microwave to keep crisp.

Common Mistakes

Batter too thin

Chilla becomes soft and breaks.

High flame

Outside burns before inside cooks.

Too many toppings

Makes the base soggy.

Covering too long

Steam softens the crispness.
