Low Carb Recipe : Tandoori Fish Tikka

By Mehar Jamil / Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

INTRODUCTION –

A low-carb diet limits carbohydrates — such as those found in grains, starchy vegetables and fruit and emphasizes foods high in protein and fat. Many types of low-carb diets exist. Each diet has varying restrictions on the types and amounts of carbohydrates you can eat. A low-carb diet is generally used for weight loss. Some low-carb diets may have health benefits beyond weight loss, such as reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Why you might follow a low-carb diet

You might choose to follow a low-carb diet because you:

Want a diet that restricts certain carbs to help you lose weight
Want to change your overall eating habits
Enjoy the types and amounts of foods featured in low-carb diets

Check with your doctor and dietitian before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.

Carbohydrate –

Refined carbohydrates such as sugar or white flour are often added to processed foods. Examples of foods with refined carbohydrates are white breads and pasta, cookies, cake, candy, and sugar-sweetened sodas and drinks.

Your body uses carbohydrates as its main energy source. During digestion complex carbs are broken down into simple sugars (glucose) and release into your blood (blood glucose).

Insulin is released to help glucose enter the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy. Extra glucose is stored in the liver and muscles, and some is converted to body fat.

A low-carb diet is intended to cause the body to burn stored fat for energy, which leads to weight loss.

NOW COME OVER TO OUR VERY EASY LOW CARB RECIPE AND ENJOY IT WITH ANY DIP OF YOUR CHOICE !!!!!!

INGREDIENTS –

Fish: Cut fish fillets into roughly 1.5 inch chunks. You can use any of these fish for this recipe- Katla, Rohu, Cod, Tilapia, Salmon etc (any of your choice). If using frozen fish, read instructions in ‘Tips’ section.
Onions and Peppers: Cut bell peppers or rainbow peppers into 1-1.5 inch chunks, about the same size as the fish. Cut onion into large chunks and separate the layers. You can switch the onions and peppers for squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes or mushrooms if you like.
Tandoori Marinade: Yogurt, oil, crushed ginger and garlic (or grated), lime, salt, turmeric, garam masala, ground coriander, cumin, kashmiri red chili powder (or paprika), black pepper powder and Kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves).

METHOD –

Step 1: Marinate Fish

In a mixing bowl combine oil, crushed ginger and garlic, spices, lime juice to make a quick marinade.
Mix well.
Toss fish pieces, onions and pepper chunks in the marinade till everything gets coated well.
The best part about this recipe is that the fish absorbs the flavors of the marinade quickly so you can cook it right-away.

Step 2: Cook Fish in an AirFryer or Oven Broiler

You can cook Fish Tikka using an Airfryer, Oven broiler. Checkout the step by step directions for all three methods below:

Options 1: How to Cook Fish in an Airfryer

Line the drip pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. This is optional though. Place the fry basket in the drip pan.
Arrange the fish, onions and peppers in the basket in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd them otherwise they won’t crisp up while cooking.
Insert the basket back. Using the temperature button set 360°F. Set the timer for for 8-10 mins, depending on thickness of fish. (1 inch= 8 mins; 1.5 inch=10mins)

As an optional step, half-way through cooking after 4 minutes, you can baste the tikka pieces with oil, or spray lightly with cooking oil . This makes the exterior texture extra-crisp. Push the basket back in and cook for another 4 minutes.

Option 2: Oven Recipe

Turn on the oven broiler. Place the marinated fish, onions and peppers on an aluminum or parchment lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet on the top rack and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the fish cooks through and turns opaque.

Serve hot with chutney’s or any dip of your choice. The chutney’s fresh and zesty flavors provide a delicious contrast to the earthy and spicy flavors in the fish, onions and peppers.

Tips for the Tastiest Tandoori Fish

Before marinating, always pat dry the fish. This absorbs the extra moisture which leads to a crisper texture.
When making this recipe with frozen fish, allow it to gradually defrost in the refrigerator overnight. This results in a better texture of fish after cooking.
Tikka recipes traditionally call for onions and peppers, but you can switch these for squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms etc.
As an optional step, half-way through the cooking process, you can baste the tikka pieces with oil. This makes the exterior texture extra-crisp.
Sprinkle fish tikka with fresh lime juice and chaat masala (Indian spice blend) before serving, this extra step really elevates the tikka flavors.
Getting the cooking time right for fish is very important.

Easy and Healthy Breakfast Toast with Walnut and Carrot Hummus

By Mehar Jamil / Healthy Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Hummus Toast is a quick and healthy breakfast recipe, snack recipe or appetiser recipe. The great thing about this recipe is that you can add your favourite toppings along with hummus on the toast. Some of the toppings which you can use are avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, herbs, spinach, sesame seeds, salmon, chicken and eggs. Hummus is also healthy food that can aid weight loss because of its protein, fats and carbohydrate components. The ingredients used to prepare hummus are rich in vitamin A and E, iron, fibre and antioxidants. Do try this recipe and let us know how it turned out to be. Here in this recipe we will go through a different and more healthier version of Hummus.

Health benefits –

Avocado toast provides vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants . It’s also a good source of magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C. It contains a variety of phytonutrients, including tocopherols, carotenoids, phenolics, and phytosterols. These antioxidants are linked to heart health, eye health, and skin health
Also avocados are high in healthy fats and fiber, an average portion size of avocado toast delivers the right number of calories to leave you full, but not too full. Fiber is known to aid in digestion and can aid in weight loss.
Women who consumed avocado as part of their daily meal had a reduction in deeper visceral abdominal fat. An avocado a day could help redistribute belly fat in women toward a healthier profile, according to a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators

INGREDIENTS –

WALNUT AND CARROT HUMMUS:

500gm of carrot
400gm fresh chickpeas (can also use processed chickpeas)
50gm of toasted walnuts
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons tahini sauce
1 teaspoon of cumin powder
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Easy Tips for the preparation –

Tip 1: Toast the 1 cup sesame seeds. If you plan to toast the seeds, we recommend doing so on the stovetop and not in the oven. Sesame seeds are tiny and so they burn very easily. Over medium-low heat then stir constantly with a spoon until the seeds darken ever so slightly in color and become fragrant. When the sesame seeds have cooled, Put them into the bowl of our food processor, shut the lid then process until a crumbly paste begins to form. Add 3 – 4 tsp of neutral flavored oil and process into a smooth cream. To reach a similar consistency as store-bought, we’ve found 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil should do it. After more processing, a few stops to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and a little more processing after that, the tahini is done. Extra smooth and ready to use in whatever recipe you like.

Tip 2: To make it more convenient you can blend Chickpeas, Carrot, Walnut and Sesame seeds and other ingredients altogether. So you don’t need to add Tahini in it.

Tip 3: You can use ready made Tahini Sauce available in market in making this carrot hummus.

BREAD TOAST

4 whole wheat bread slices
2 Avocados
Tomatoes slices
Sprouts (optional)
Toasted sesame
Extra virgin olive oil

You can also use Cucumbers, Onion, Peppers on topping of the Toast. One can use any Veggies of choice depending upon the availability. And trust me taste will remain the same.

PREPARATIONS –

Peel the carrots and cut into pieces about two centimeters thick. Put them into boil in a saucepan until cooked, around 15 minutes.
In a food processor, mix the carrot with the chickpeas, tahini sauce, cumin, lemon juice, garlic, toasted walnuts and extra virgin olive oil. If the hummus gets thick, you can add some lemon juice. Put it in bowls and reserve until the serving time.
Serve the whole wheat bread slices spreading the hummus and putting on the top 2 slices of avocado, tomatoes slices, alfa alfa sprouts (optional), toasted sesame and extra virgin olive oil.

How to make Nutty Tofu Lettuce Wrap

By Mehar Jamil / Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Nutty tofu lettuce wrap is a super delicious and healthy, low carbohydrate options for all those people who are struggling with weight loss. I know a lot of people find tofu a bit hit or miss – when it’s nice and crispy it can be absolutely delicious, but if it’s cooked poorly, it can be really bad, with a slightly spongy, squidgy texture. If you’ve had trouble cooking tofu in the past, this is the recipe for you – nutty tofu lettuce wraps, served with a creamy peanut sauce. It’s impossible to get wrong.

When you cook tofu in big slabs, it can be so easy to cook it badly. But in these lettuce wraps, the tofu is crumbled up before being cooked, so the small pieces get nice and crispy. It’s then mixed with ground peanuts and cashews, red chilli and basil, to give it a beautiful flavour and texture.

Serve it up in a big green lettuce leaf with some fluffy rice and a drizzle of creamy peanut sauce, and you’ve got yourself a delicious, and pretty healthy, lunch.

I’ve been struggling to think of healthy meal ideas lately, so I was excited to remember that lettuce wraps were a thing. In some contexts, it seems a bit depressing to substitute a tortilla wrap for a lettuce leaf, but actually, with these Asian flavours, a proper wrap wouldn’t have felt right anyway. The big lettuce leaves work perfectly as big spoons for the tofu and nuts and make you feel like you’ve had something a bit different.

Why are lettuce wraps good for you ?

One of the most prominent benefits of using lettuce wraps instead of traditional tortillas or bread is that the produce has substantially fewer calories. Whereas a Burger bun contains more than 50 grams of carbohydrates and around 200 calories. If you’re looking to go low-carb, lettuce wraps are a worthy solution. Plus, the added hydrating crunch of the lettuce makes for a refreshing summer meal.

Ingredients –

For the tofu mixture:

1 tablespoon oil
200 g firm tofu (cam use paneer if tofu is not available), crumbled (1 cup when crumbled)
2 tablespoon cashew nuts and / or peanuts (I used half of each)
1 small red chilli, seeds removed
Small handful fresh basil
1 tablespoon lime juice
One tablespoon soy sauce

For the peanut sauce:

1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2-3 tablespoon water

To assemble:

8 large lettuce leaves
200 gm of veggies (use any veggies of your choice)

Method –

Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the crumbled tofu. Cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until slightly dry and crispy.
While the tofu is cooking, add the nuts, deseeded chilli, and fresh basil to a mini food processor. Blitz to form a coarse crumb. Add this mixture to the pan with the tofu, along with a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of soy sauce. Continue to cook over a medium-low heat for another 5 minutes, until the mixture is cooked to your liking.
To make the peanut sauce, add the sweet chilli sauce and peanut butter to the mini food processor (no need to clean it properly after using it for the nuts), along with a dash of water. Blitz to combine, and adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
Serve the nutty tofu mixture with the veggies, in large lettuce leaves, drizzled with the peanut sauce.

How to make Zucchini subzi

By Mehar Jamil / Healthy Recipes, Weight Loss Recipes

Introduction of Zucchini –

The zucchini ,courgette or baby marrow is a summer squash, a viningherbaceous plant whose fruit are harvested when their immature seeds and epicarp (rind) are still soft and edible. It provides many health benefits. Zucchini suits many diets, such as keto, paleo, vegan, or low-carb, and a person can prepare it in many different ways based on taste preferences. Zucchini is a summer squash that is a part of the Cucurbitaceae plant family, otherwise known as gourds.

While many people refer to it as a vegetable, zucchini is a fruit. Other names include courgette and baby marrow. They range in color from dark emerald green to a yellowish shade.

Health benefits of Zucchini –

Can help fight inflammation: Zucchini is rich in several different types of antioxidants which can help fight free radicals and ward off inflammation. Enjoy it with the skin on for full nutrition benefits, as much of the nutrients are in the skin itself.
Can support a healthy immune system: Just one medium zucchini provides over half your day’s worth of vitamin C, an important antioxidant and water-soluble vitamin that plays a major role in immune function. Vitamin C also plays a role in reducing risk of several chronic diseases.
May support blood sugar control: Naturally low in carbohydrates, zucchini can be a great lower-carb alternative to more starchy vegetables and refined carbohydrates at any meal. Zucchini noodles make a great swap for spaghetti and lasagna in many recipes, helping to keep blood sugar levels at bay and limit blood sugar spikes from excessive refined carbohydrates. You can even try half regular linguine and half zucchini noodles which can still significantly reduce the carbohydrate load of the meal but give you the best of both worlds. It can even be made into chips or fries in the air fryer, providing a delicious and satisfying low-carb alternative.
Can promote good digestion: Both the fiber and water content in zucchini can help keep you regular and support healthy digestion. It is also considered a low-FODMAP vegetable, which means it may be easier to digest especially for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome.
May assist with weight management: It is naturally low in calories but abundant in nutrients, making it a great addition to a healthy diet. Plus, it naturally has a high water content and also contains fiber, both of which can help keep you full.
May support a healthy heart. One medium zucchini is a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that helps with nerve and muscle function. Potassium plays a big role in helping your heartbeat stay regular, and a potassium-rich diet can help offset some of the harmful effects of sodium on blood pressure. It also contains magnesium, another important mineral that helps keep heart rhythm steady.

fresh zoodles with tomato sauce — IT CAN BE USED IN VARIOUS DISHES

Come on lets come over to our Zucchini subzi recipe. In this dish the spices are subtle, which make the final dish pronounced in flavor, but not overwhelmingly spicy. Lets start….

INGREDIENTS –

Zucchini medium sized 2 sliced (can also used unpeeled zucchini)
2 small finely chopped tomatoes
1 big onion finely sliced
Oil 1 tbsp
Salt as per taste
Ginger Garlic paste
1 green chilli
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Red chilli powder as per taste
1/2 tsp cumin
a pinch of garam masala

METHOD

The method can be simplified into 4 Steps:

Step 1: Add cumin seeds in oil once its get hot.
Step 2: Now Sauté the onions until golden in this oil. Don’t brown them too much because once you add the garlic and ginger, the onions will deepen even more in color.
Step 3: Add the tomatoes, salt, and spices. Once the tomatoes soften, add the zucchini along with a bit of water.
Step 4: Cover and allow to cook for 7-10 minutes. Once the zucchini is soft and the water has dried up, use a wooden spoon to break the zucchini into pieces.
Step 5: Lower the heat, cover, and allow the zucchini to cook for another 15-20 minutes. Uncover and sauté out any excess moisture, using your spoon to break up any remaining bits.

How to know when it’s done:

The final dish shouldn’t have water content from the zucchini floating around. When in doubt, sauté a little extra. Once the oil separates from the curry and the zucchini is very well cooked, you’re done!

A note: I’ve had several people share pictures of their finished product with a bit more ‘curry’ and not fully reduced down. If that’s how you prefer it, that’s okay too. Make it your own!

How to serve –

This dish pairs perfectly with just about anything, but roti, naan, paratha, or any other bread go exceptionally well with it. Rice is another reader-favorite pairing.
