Description
Zero Oil Dal-Chawal is the third in my series of Zero Oil Cookbooks. This book will help you keep a check on the calories that you inadvertently consume during the main meals, without missing out on the dishes you are fond of. It contains 39 recipes divided into section like Chwal (with sub-section like pulao, Biryani, Khichdi and all Time Favorites). Dals & Kadhis, accompaniments and Basic Recipes, all cooked without oil.
Cooking without oil is quite a challenge and involves careful selection of ingredients, tweaking the proportion accordingly and using appropriate cooking methods. I have researched, along with my team of chefs and nutritionists, and compiled recipes from different cuisines, using different cooking styles like steaming, roasting, baking, and using non-stick cookware.
Surprising as it may sound; we have put together a gamut of oil-free and healthy accompaniments and also show you how to prepare a few basic pastes that help perk up the flavour of these recipes. Here you will find healthier alternatives to basic recipes like Jeera Rice, Milk Rice etc. that make cooking easier.
