This is a very simple North Indian Meal which I prepared at home. I love very simple yet nutritious meals. Instead of preparing an array of dishes, I plan my meals in such a way that it is nutritious and well balanced.

Are you a working women looking for a healthy yet simple way to cook meals? If yes, then this healthy meal plan or Healthy North Indian Lunch Idea is just for you. It took me less than an hour to make all the above dishes.

Phulka
Bhindi Masala
Dal Palak (spinach with lentils)
Chaval
Curd or Lassi 

In the menu above you have greens with lentils (palak and dal). Lentils have a high nutritional value. Spinach or Palak is store house of nutrients. It is rich in iron and contains a good amount of soluble dietary fiber. Phulka is made from whole wheat -whole grains substantially lower Type 2 Diabetes Risk. Lady’s finger has a good sources of fiber, folates and other vitamins and minerals. Instead of curd, for a change I made lassi to have after meals.Curd is rich in calcium and rice has carbohydrates.

  • Thanks, i need some other easy making side dishes for chapathi. my husband taking lunch box for afternoon and also night dinner. I dont know what i make daily for chapathi.

  • Hi Padhu,
    How on earth did you manage to make all those in one hour?? I would take close to 2 hours hours to just make chapati & one sabzi!!!! Can you please break it down - how long each one took? Yeah, you would have parallely done the things, but can you pleeeasse explain? Thanks!!!!!!

    • Maushmi- You can easily finish the above meal in 1 hour time, if you plan it properly. I basically multitask and also I am a good planner. I first plan what I am going to cook, then keep all the ingredients ready.Soaking dal in hot water saves a lot of time.First I make the dough for roti. While it is resting, I prepare the dal and sabji side by side. I have a gas stove with 2 burners, so it is quicker. I use pressure cooker for cooking dal. When the sabji is getting ready, I will start rolling out rotis. Once the sabji and dal is over, I heat the tawa and make rotis. that's it. You can also do it.
