Do you also do meal prep?

[@rohinimalhotra72]

Yesss❤️ it's a life saviour

[@TalkingMom]

@@rohinimalhotra72 I am so glad we think alike 😄

[@swarupakulkarniofficial]

@@TalkingMom plz share dosa batter recipe

[@btsarmyforever3816]

I meal prep. I also make my own paneer since India always has a lot of power cuts and store-bought dairy products are always spoiled. It's also cheaper. Healthier without preservatives. We buy kilos of carrots and use a food processor to grate them. Then store in Tupperware fridge ware and use for a week in Dosas, curries, Panniyaram, Carrot halwa etc. Leafy greens we buy a day before and clean to cook the next day. Cabbage we finely chop and store to use within 2-3 days. Other veg are also prepped in their own way. I do not prep potatoes and tomatoes. We don't eat onions or garlic. Herbs we chop and use fresh. Meal prep means we don't need to frequent the grocer daily since we buy in bulk and use it throughout the week. To meal prep, we will require very good fridge containers. Cooking fresh is very important. Prepping veg beforehand is saving time. Contrary to belief, the veg does not lose it's nutrients in the fridge if stored properly. Frozen tofu's protein rate is 4 times higher than fresh tofu, though it does become dry and bitter. Best in dumplings.

[@TalkingMom]

This is so good. Thank you for sharing all this information here. Really appreciate :)

[@madhavipandey7]

Very good idea about meal plan.

[@madhavipandey7]

My in laws believe that frozen or pre cooked and stored in fridge food are bad for health. Even they do not eat leftover lunch item in dinner. I tried so many time to tell them benefits, but they never understood. Also one more thing I am fed up with is that they believe only roti subji dal chawal is complete meal and if I eat pasta (your healthy version of pasta) in dinner it's not ok.

[@btsarmyforever3816]

@@madhavipandey7 Pre cooked is not as healthy though. Pre-cut is fine. Cooking and eating fresh is best. Unless it preserved foods like pickles/Tamarind gravy like for Puliodharai. You in-laws are right. There is no health benefit in eating cooked leftovers unless its overnight rice soaked in water in a claypot. Had with buttermilk next morning in summer. Roti subji dal is a complete meal. You have fiber, subji = veggi, dal = protein. You do need carbs though, which you can get from potatoes in a subji. If you eat pasta that's you choice. Don't know why they don't like it. Maybe they are just concerned for you.

[@madhavipandey7]

@@btsarmyforever3816 pre cooked means like boiled chickpea or potatoes, as swati did in this video. I agree that dal chawal roti sabji is complete meal but sometimes we could make a variation with healthier option. For example if I replace my roti sabji wala dinner by chichpea salad with lots of veggies and boiled potato which are full of fiber (veggies) carb ( potato) and protin (chickpea) . They will not ok with this. I understand their concern but they also need to learn variations in food.

[@TalkingMom]

Your welcome. Rather thanks a lot for watching and appreciating :). I keep it in fridge and make sure I consume it any of the meal within 2 days. You can also keep it in freezer for longer shelf life but then de-freezing takes a longer time. Hope this was helpful :)

Hi Swati...you always sound so happy and full of energy...how do you manage to keep yourself like that all the time? I feel so frustrated and tired to do household chores especially in summers...kindly share the secret...

[@TalkingMom]

Hi Anishaa...I am no exception. There are a few things I love doing..most of them are chores only but then the ones I don't like (cleaning utensils), I take help. or I simply try to find my core problems and find solutions my way. Even if they are very small. If summers are a problem, I pick a cooler time to finish laborious jobs. If I want peace while working, I will wait for the kids to sleep. Acceptance is the only way and we only will know better ways to solve our own problems. I am sorry if it sounded like a lecture but I really just operate like this :)

In summer food remains fresh for up to 3 days. After that most of the food starts losing nutrients and freshness. This information is based on USDA. Hope it will help :)

For how many days you preserve chickpeas and palak puree in freezer ?

You can store both in fridge for up to 7 days and in freezer for 15 days. But always remember that food nutrients degrades with time. So I aim to finish fresh stocks as soon as possible. 😊
