Broccoli Stir Fry
Broccoli, many of us do not like this flower. I never used to like it either, until i found this simple and easy recipe, which i am sure will satisfy your tastebuds. Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C. It's known as an anti-cancer element, and a good source of calcium, and has a great amount of fiber in it. However Broccoli when boiled may loose half its nutritious value. So in this recipe I just fried it to remove its raw taste. When I say fired, you might wonder how can it be healthy? But this is fried with non stick cooking spray, and hence it's fat free.

Here is the Recipe(2 servings): Cut 2 Broccoli heads into small florets, wash them and drain them. Mash 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, and 2 or 3 green chilies. Spray a nonstick pan with fat free cooking spray, add the ingredients together and add a pinch of salt on top. Fry them for 2 or 3 minutes or until the broccoli does not taste raw. (Don’t cook until it's tender)
Tips:- You can add more garlic if you are a garlic lover. Garlic helps reduce LDL cholestrol.
Hi All, Happy New Year! I decided to start blogging in this new year. Many of us take new year resolutions, but how many of us really be successful in executing them? This year my resolution was to exercise regularly. But as usual I failed to continue. Like most of you I realized that just having a health club membership will not burn my body fat. So instead of sweating on the treadmill I decided to start a low fat low cal but healthy diet. I wish to share my recipes and ideas, and I welcome all of yours to share here. Together lets make a healthy beginning. I would like to dedicate this to all those who are lazy to exercise.
