Curd rice

If you want something light and simple for your mid-day meal – curd rice is the best recipe.

Put some oil in a frying pan, sprinkle mustard seeds, and heat it for 2-3 minutes. Chop green chillies and add them to the mixture.

As soon as the mixture turns brown, put a handful of whole red chillies. Add this Tadka to your fresh curd rice, and voila – you have made yourself ‘yoghurt’ rice!

Vegetarian chilli

It’s important to provide your body with immune-boosting nutrients in the pandemic time. While it may sound quite boring, a healthy lunch full of green vegetables and pulses is all you need to maintain your immunity. For the mid-day meal, try the vegetarian Chilli recipe.

It is light and loaded with all the right nutrients. Put red beans, roasted tomatoes, green beans, veggies, and frozen corn in a platter. Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, pepper, and some onion powder to the blend and put the platter in the microwave. Heat the ingredients and get the platter out in a few minutes.

There you go! Your healthy Vegetarian chilli recipe is ready to savour.

Fried rice and chicken

So, we’ve only mentioned meals filled with just veggies alone. But, what about checking out every level in the Food Pyramid, or specifically in this case – the proteins section?

If you are spending this lockdown with your loved ones and family, then prepare cauliflower fried rice and a chicken recipe for dinner and enjoy some family time!

The leftover chicken you had the other day can be used for this recipe. To prepare this recipe, you need to blend florets of cauliflower in the blending jar until it turns into a rice-like mixture.

Fry the cauliflower with garlic in sesame oil and pour one-fourth cup of water to the pan. Cover the frying pan for some time. Once the cauliflower softens, remove the lid and toss the cooked chicken into your frozen vegetable mixture.

And… your dinner is ready! Have some fun time savouring a protein-rich and scrumptious meal with your family.

Social distancing is ultimately the key to preventing the spread of the virus, but so is keeping yourself as fit as a fiddle in general! Consider cooking these scrumptious yet healthy meals to ensure you’re in good health.

With that being said, our long term serviced apartments in Singapore will still be continuing operations as usual, whereby housemates are given access to our spaces. So, we highly advise housemates to follow the Phase 2 rules and measures as per the three-phased approach by the government closely to keep both the nation and ourselves safe.
