Eating Guide

Food Group: Root Vegetables & Nuts

Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre and antioxidants, aiding digestion and relieving constipation. Makhana and nuts provide healthy fats and protein, making this a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Goodlive Tip

For a completely oil-free version, dry roast the ingredients on low flame without oil. You may also add pomegranate seeds for a fresh contrast.
