"Calories Don't Count On The Weekend"..
It's idiosyncratic to me when people around me moan and groan about losing weight. The answer is so obvious and simple. Introduce some balance into your life and your body, your skin, your mind and your spirit will all align themselves perfectly, just like a good head stand. It's always been very important to me to achieve a kind of balance in my and my family's life. These days everyone is interested to eat healthy. As a cook I use cream, oil and butter if dish requires it but I also like to eat with Oats, quinoa, spinach, kale and some more organic fruits and vegetables too.
This recipe is one of "My kind" recipe which has oil and also has some oats and spinach, so in short this recipe is balance of healthy food & indulgent food. Pakodas are always favorite to all at any time. I'm sure you will try "Oats-Spinach Pakode" this weekend and will rock your weekend. So don't count the calories this weekend just follow the recipe and forget about bad factor(deep frying), because Oats-Spinach Pakode has more good factor(oats reduce cholesterol) in it....
