description: "Cooking with 1 teaspoon of oil bids a firm and cheerful goodbye to the widely held notion that Indian food must contain oodles of oil, ghee and butter.Besides eliminating excessive fat from your daily food, this book will be an indispensable guide for those who wish to lose weight. The common notion about losing weight is to follow a 'zero oil diet', [but] since experts say that it is a completely unhealthy way to lose weight, I was inspired to write a cookbook especially for weight watchers who constantly crave for delicious and sumptuous foods.The secret of cooking delectable low fat dishes is to learn the art of substitution of foods and by using the right quantum of herbs and spices. For example, using low fat milk instead of full fat milk and cream, using low fat yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise to prepare dips and salad dressings (as in the recipe of Chick Pea Salad with Mint Dressing, page 122, etc).This book features a vast array of adventurous, nourishing and imaginative Indian recipes, including drinks like Melon Tango, page 38, delicious breakfast ideas like High Fibre Chillas, page 32, wholesome snacks like Moong Dal Seekh Kebabs, page 42, an astounding variety of rotis, subjis and other main meals and guilt-free mouth-watering desserts like Low Fat Kulfi with Strawberry Sauce, page 136.Each recipe in this book has been carefully analysed by a team of qualified nutritionists to ensure you are getting the correct combination of nutrients throughout the day.You will find helpful tips and charts explaining the food which should be eaten and those which should be restricted and avoided along with a menu planner to help you correctly follow a weight loss program. I am sure you will enjoy these easy-to-follow recipes and prepare attractive meals and in addition understand what healthy eating is all about and how to adapt it to your lifestyle.Happy cooking and healthy eating!Tarla Dalal"
