There’s really no excuse for not eating nutritionally balanced meals. The excessive amounts of refined flour (maida) in packaged foods and the limited use of healthy cereal options in our daily diets, makes this issue particularly critical. This GeneClinicX-curated, diabetes-friendly millet khichadi recipe is a winner and will keep you feeling fuller longer. Non-vegetarians can add chicken or boiled eggs to increase protein content.
