Deciding what to make for dinner is an everyday struggle. After having our evening chai, our minds immediately start to wonder what to have for dinner. Sometimes, we may even start doing so while we're having lunch. It's tempting to indulge in pizzas, pastas, or even Indian dishes such as bhature and pav bhaji. But as much as they delight our taste buds, they fail miserably on the health scale.
