Feels good to be back hosting an event for Priya
Mitharwal’s Healthy Me, Healthy Us event for June
2013. Thanks Priya for this opportunity. Although am late by a day in
announcing this event as my vacation extended quite a bit more than expected,
inviting all you health freaks to link up Healthy, Eggless & Vegetarian
Entries all this June.
I shall recap the requirements for this event
directly from Priya’s event announcement . Meanwhile use the Linky Tool
provided below to link to this event. If you are a non-blogger, do email me
your recipe so I could include it in the round up.
Look forward to all your entries

Kalyani

Now, with all this talk, let’s come down to the
rules of the event.
- You have to cook a dish out of “unprocessed”
and “unenhanced” foods ONLY. If you have made something and have doubts on
whether or not it qualifies, let me know. I recommend using more
vegetables, fruits and nuts/seeds than grains in your dish. - Any course of the meal is allowed, even
beverages. - Eggs and Meat/Seafood/Fishes are NOT ALLOWED.
- Using pre-packaged food are NOT ALLOWED.
- Using artificial flavors are NOT ALLOWED.
- Using pre-processed food is NOT ALLOWED.
- Nut & Seed Oils ARE ALLOWED but in
moderation. - Paneer & Tofu are ARE ALLOWED, as they not
exactly processed, but cooked to make it the way they are. - Stone Ground or Mill Ground (Uncontaminated)
flours ARE ALLOWED. - Keep DEEP FRYING to MINIMUM.
- You have to do a small write up on the
nutritional benefits of your dish and if possible (recommended) how many
servings it gives and what is the calorie per serving (approximate). - Provide some substitutes for certain
ingredients, if you think they are not easily available. Vegan substitutes
will be highly appreciates. - Archived posts will be allowed, if it follows
all the above rules
