Hey Boosties!

 

For many of us, we take the opportunity during Ramadan to kick start our new healthy eating lifestyles. In between Ramadan and Raya delicacies, there are those who look to start eating healthy but find it difficult keeping up with the plan when we’re constantly tempted with mak or atuk’s decadent dishes that only make a special appearance during this month. Then, let’s not forget the delicious bazaar food or iftar buffet spreads.

 

While it’s ok to have a cheat day every once in a while, we’re here to show you that healthy food can be as scrumptious.

 

Here’s a simple and healthy dish you can try making in less than 30 minutes.
