Himachal Pradesh, India

“Healthy! Tasty! Recipes” were developed under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s Phase II Project for Crop Diversification in Himachal Pradesh (2017-2022), to promote self-consumption of vegetables by farmers, especially targeting newly introduced vegetables unfamiliar to the farmers.Furthermore, the recipes include ideas of contributing to nutrition improvement in the State as majority of the population in Himachal is found to have health problems such as anemia, hypertension and overweight. Also focusing on the food habits of Himachali, who are generally vegetarians, sources of protein seem lacking in their food. Efforts were therefore made to prepare the recipes based on the following points:1) Use of crops rich in nutrients such as iron and protein2) Use of low sugar, low salt and low fat, following the WHO’s Recommended Daily Intake3) Application of cooking methods to retain more nutrients such as steaming instead of boiling and shallow frying instead of deep frying4) Maximization of value of traditional recipes and use of ingredients locally available for wider acceptability5) Suggestion of “Immunity boosting recipes” using vitamin-C rich vegetables with concern over the spread of COVID-19 infection in India.Remark: Nutrition information of the recipes are sourced mainly from "SELF Nutrition Data", etc.--------------------------------------------------------------------For translation of recipes in Hindi please click on the below mentioned linkhttps://cookpad.wasmer.app/in/users/20736692
