Figs and nuts ice cream: (Sugar free and Vegan)
About:
This is a great frozen treat, especially for those who can’t tolerate dairy products.
Health Benefits:
Soya milk: It is made from the soya bean. Although it is not a substitute for cows milk in every situation, it can be used to make ice cream, milk shakes and sauce such as custard
Agave nectar: It is a pure, unrefined , natural sweetener that is harvested from plants. As a sweetner agave nectar is very healthy. It is sweeter than honey and sugar, yet it has a subtle, sweet flavour that enhances a variety of foods and beverages. It is gluten and allergen free and has a low glycemic index (GI) which makes it one of the safest blood sugar foods as it will not over stimulate the production of insulin or cause sudden blood sugar.
Coconut milk: It is a vegan substitute of milk/ cream . although using coconut milk can make some modest reductions in fat and calories by substituting for heavy cream, the number of carbohydrates will be double. Depending on what type of diet you are pursuing, this may be problematic. If you are cutting carbs elsewhere in your diet, this substitution may work.

Combination of broad beans and cottage cheese/ paneer foms a protein-packed dish
I have chosen broad beans and paneer and its similar to peas and paneer paratha.
Health benefits of broad beans:
Foods often have more than one name, but few have as many monikers as the broad bean. You may know them as fava, butter, Windsor, horse or even English beans. Whatever name you use, these beans are meaty and flavorful enough to hold their own as a side dish or mixed into an entree. Adding just a handful of these beans to a salad provides a boost of protein, fiber, potassium and energy-providing B vitamins.
Makes: 4-5
