Tips to fill your plate with right food for summer
from: SonalWith the mercury rising, who wants to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, toiling over dishes that take hours to perfect? Instead, quick and easy-to-do menus that are light on the stomach are what make up a perfect summer platter. Reshma and Kapil Sanghi, from Food For Thought café, give us a few suggestions on how to plan an ideal summer menu.
Ideal Summer Fare
Summer is all about cooling foods – salads such as Greek salad (with cucumber being the main ingredient), chilled Thai noodle salad loaded with mint and coriander, watermelon and feta salad are a good lunch option for summers. Include a lot of greens vegetables and fruits that are high on water content in your main course. Dishes such as whole-wheat pasta, slightly tossed in olive oil or a crunchy quiche works well too. Serve your food with a lot of dips that are yogurt-based to sooth your system. Mainly concentrate on foods that beat dehydration, which is a common problem during summers.
Tips on dressing up your platter
While planning your plate, make it colourful; a little colour on the plate can really refresh your senses. Throw a lot of raw and fresh veggies such as yellow and red bell peppers, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and purple cabbage, asparagus that are cheerful and nutritious.
Quick tip: If your main ingredients are green, try and use garnishes with contrasting colours like chopped tomatoes or red peppers and vice versa.
Add a lot of fresh herbs like coriander leaves, mint leaves, basil, parsley to add flavour to your food without adding excessive masalas.
Use seasonal vegetables as much as possible. Squash, okra, tomatoes, spring onions, bottle gourd are a good bet.
Summertime No-nos
- Avoid heavy dressings like Thousand Island and mayonnaise-based food as this could be heavy on the stomach. Try and keep your dressings light with just a touch of olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar
- Do not overcook your food as it can cut down on the nutrition levels of your meal. Gentle tossing and light grilling are the best cooking methods to adapt in summers
- Eat only fresh food.
