Soup

If you don’t like eating your veggies raw, try making soups. “Add some flavours, herbs, stock and anything to make it appetising.”

Parantha

Grate your vegetables and knead them into delicious paranthas, Makhija said. “Don’t make vegetable paranthas, but knead them into the dough. No one will know you are eating your vegetables.”
