Yummy tummy here I come.......

Food has always been an essential that keeps us alive apart from sleep, water and of course Oxygen. Many of us consider our meals to be extra tasty than healthy but unfortunately which is very dangerous. Anyways it won’t hurt to see some fat and sugar gulping down our throats with precaution. Correct combination of nutrients and right amounts of everything is bound to shove you healthy benefits in your latter years.
As we all know water is a fortune when it comes to glowing skin and correct functioning of most of our body organs. A little less fat and salt with some vitamins and proteins mixed with carbohydrates is what we usually need. So why not try something simple yet satisfactory to the tummy?
Rice is a good choice to start with and 2 or 3 curries would be the key to make it simple. So I thought of writing about a fantastic meal I had today which I think had most of the nutrients I need and the satisfaction for my taste buds.
