Punjab, Pakistan
“Healthy! Tasty! Recipes” were developed under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s Punjab Multisectoral Nutrition Advisory Project (MSNA: 2023-2026) to address the malnutrition prevailing among women and children in Pakistan. Unbalanced diets lead to issues like low birth weight and stunting, which increase the risk of chronic diseases later in life. While knowledge is key to a balanced diet, it is often hard to access in rural areas. To bridge this gap, these recipes are designed for:                                                                                           1. Pregnant and lactating women2. Infants of complementary feeding age (6-24 months)3. Undernourished children4. School-aged children                                                          Overall, these recipes emphasize “Healthy, Tasty and Cook-friendly” as highlighted below:                                                                                    • Use common vegetables and eggs rich in minerals, vitamins and protein.• Follow WHO guidance on healthy diets by minimizing sugar, salt, and fat.• Use techniques like steaming and shallow frying to retain more nutrients.• Recommend chopping or grating veggies finely to improve texture for picky eaters.• Maximize local flavors and traditional wisdom for wider acceptability.• Encourage using home-grown produce from "nutrition gardens" (veggies and eggs).
