Live Consciously, Eat Deliciously

 Your health is in your hands. Make it or break it! Hello everyone,  This is Ravneet Bhalla - a knowledge management professional, who is more into research and writing by profession, and a health freak by choice. I love to eat and drink healthy, for I believe "a healthy me is a happy me." With that said, my focus is not only on eating clean but also on staying active & kicking.  But there are several hurdles to staying healthy these days. Agree?  While we all talk of the polluted environment, with toxins floating around everywhere, the food we eat is no less adulterated either. Sigh!! There is a serious lack of trust because we are living in a commercialized world. No matter what the brand, are you confident their product is 100% pure? When we say 100 percent pure, we mean it is  devoid of chemical preservatives, refined sugar, refined flours free from fillers, additives, artificial colors, chemical flavors True, we are living in an age where purity is a dream and the br

Is Baking With Malai Healthy Substitute to Fat? Rusk, Cookies, Cake Recipes With Malai

In my cookie baking basics for beginners , I always harp on the need for solid fat for baking a crispy cookie without baking powder and soda. However, many of you approach me asking for substitutes for ghee and oil, so here's presenting cookies with malai (cream that sits on top of boiled milk). The next question that pops up in your mind is: Are these crispy with malai? Or how to bake crispy cookies with homemade cream, which is way healthier than your favorite packaged cream. A recent research report claims that packed creams sold under different names in the market raise the risk of triglycerides and cholesterol.  Can you give me the reason? Well, the answer is simple. There are highly processed fats that blend different ingredients to give you that luscious richness that you crave in your bakes. They are highly saturated and have trans fats. Thankfully, I have never bought one nor do I ever intend to purchase one . You can add whipping creams, cond

Why & How To Make Baking Ingredients From Scratch (Healthy Recipes Collection)

Well, we continue to harp on the fact that a wholesome balanced diet is a way to stay healthy. This includes whole grains, millets, legumes, and pseudocereals (such as quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, water chestnut). Depending on one grain or cereal does not deliver the same dietary benefits, especially as our diets are drained of nutrition. So why not include different types of cereals and pseudocereals in our diet to make the most of each ingredient. What's more, even those with gluten intolerance can enjoy their meals, snacks, and tea time like never before. We have all types of flours available these days.  But there is a lack of trust factor.  Why? The increasing amount of adulteration of food (including contamination) leaves us with doubts as to whether we are actually eating healthy in the name of health. I suggest avoiding marketing gimmicks and tall claims of food businesses that try to sell nutritionally deficient goods under the garb of such terms that sell - oats cookies (
