Rajma & Sweet Corn Tacos with Mint Yogurt

Pulses like rajma are a nutrient-dense staple that provide essential protein, fiber, folate, and magnesium¹². Including them in your meals is a practical way to improve diet quality, as consumers of pulses often have higher intakes of key minerals like iron and potassium¹. The fiber content in beans may contribute to feelings of fullness, which can support weight management efforts². Legumes are generally considered to have a low glycaemic index, making them a useful component of a balanced diet³².

ICMR-NIN guidelines emphasize that a healthy meal should source nutrients from a variety of food groups, including pulses, milk products like curd, and plenty of fresh vegetables⁴. By pairing your rajma and corn with fresh curd and herbs, you are creating a meal that aligns with the 'My Plate for the Day' approach, which balances cereals, pulses, and protective foods like vegetables⁴. Always aim to prepare your meals with minimal added fats and sugars to keep them wholesome⁴. If you are managing specific health conditions, please plan your dietary changes in consultation with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
