Rice Thattai | Crispy Thattai | Festive Snack Recipe | Step by Step
Here I'm with another festive snack you can easily try.Last week my son felt stomach discomfort and I picked him back from school when I received the call.It happened twice and the main reason for it is over intake of junk food.He was advised to avoid packed foods which are very difficult for him.When he is little okay he was tempted to eat and so had little and the problem started again. He is very fond of chicken and counting days to eat it. Following him, we too decided to go with the same menu that we cook for him which will be veggies platter. I have planned to start the non-veggies meal next weekend as my daughter's birthday falls the month-end.

Nuts are rich in good cholesterol which is essential for the good function of our human body.But many avoid eating nuts feeling that will gain weight .This is not true actually good cholesterol does not help in weight gain only the bad cholesterol from refined oil make us obese.When I was watching a TV channel I heard Jamie Oliver saying, a handful of nuts like walnuts,pistachio and badam a day help to increase your lifespan by two years. So lets eat in limit and stay healthy.
