south indian meal plan

Did you know most Indians are calcium deficient? This is because their diet is not rich in calcium and also because the calcium from food isn’t properly absorbed in the body. If you are a south Indian and do not wish to change your eating habits, you can make it calcium-rich with a few modifications. Nutritionist Akansha Jhalani charts out a diet plan for vegetarian south Indians who want to eat a healthy, calcium-rich diet.
