a) When cooking, do not pour oil from the bottle. This is because you may tend to
pour more than the required amount. Use a teaspoon or oil spray bottle as you are
able to control the usage of oil and cook healthily.
b) Use a non stick pan when cooking as it does not require lots of oil to cook.
c) Omit coconut milk with yogurt or low fat milk. When cooking this way, use more
ginger, garlic and onions as it gives the same taste when cooking with coconut
milk.
d) Add salt at the last stage of cooking. When making soups, do not add salt before
adding potatoes as potatoes will absorb the salt and leaving the soup tasteless.
To give taste, you will have to add salt again. Therefore add salt at the last stage,
hence less salt will be used.
e) If you were to cook fish or chicken, try to use lime juice. By using lime juice
less salt is needed as lime juice provides taste to the dish. Lime juice is also rich in
Vitamin C and it helps absorb iron.
f) Combine vegetables when cooking meat dishes if you do not like to eat vegetables.
You need not eat oats with milk only. Oats can be toasted and added in soups
and curries. This is a nutritious and healthy method of cooking as oats are rich in
fibre.
