Nisupta Bhattacharya is an entrepreneur. She is the power behind the online boutique AngaChaya. In her own words — Last 3 years it has been a constant effort to reverse my pre-diabetic stage. With thyroid issues, things had got tougher, until a friend pushed me to also work on my fitness. My mom had a recent cardiac arrest which lead to lot of eye opening facts. Weight being one major role which plays a important part especially with Kidney patients. In search for healthy meal options, Internet sent my way — Red Bananas! These are rich in protein and make lovely snack substitute.
Ingredients:
Red Bananas (You may use other varieties of banana too)
Grated Coconut
Cardamom Powder
Powdered nuts of your choice (almonds, pistachios, cashew)
Method:
Cut the ends of the red bananas.
Steam them either in microwave for 7 mins, or boil to one whistle in a cooker.
Remove the peel and place on a plate/ in a bowl.
Garnish them with fresh grated coconut & cardamom powder.
You can also add fresh nut powder. Filling & an apt breakfast substitute.
Serve.
Notes from BitebyByte:
If you are ready for a cheat day, you may fork the bananas a little after steaming. Drizzle in warm ghee along with powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Let it rest for a couple of minutes for the bananas to absorb the flavours. Now you can go ahead and add the grated coconut and nut powder, and serve warm.
