    • Hariyali Murgh Biryani- Chicken Green Biryani

      Green is my new favorite color this summer. The big bright windows from Primark to Harrods, Oxford Street to Piccadilly and Tesco -Whole Foods are all decorated with either Green Tops and Bikinis or Green Foods. These display windows not only tickle our brain to shop but also sends us a message to think how much of greens do we eat? Have you had your 5 a day today?

      About 2 weeks back as I walked through a mall, I was stopped by a cosmetic sales girl who was explaining to me how her products are extremely good and it will lift up my skin immediately. For a minute she convinced me to buy her products until she told me the price which was £150 for a set of cleanser,mask and moisturizer. I was not turned off by the price but remembered what my mom has told me “Cleansing needs to be from within so you need to watch you eat”. Turning the sales girls offer I introduced myself to a Triple Green Smoothie from Whole foods and have been seeing dramatic changes in my skin.

      Now, how can we feed our family health foods when we have fussy eaters. Am talking about KJ here as he is very picky on foods. How to convince my husband who loves to eat his daily dose of lamb and chicken to turn green. So I put this recipe together which has greens along with chicken. Smart huh!!!
