The Ultimate Indian High BP Diet
By Sushmita Sengupta
High blood pressure patients are often advised to reduce salt, fried, fatty food, but there’s plenty in your kitchen that are good enough.
Banana Raita
Bananas are packed with potassium. Potassium helps negate the ill effects of sodium. This banana raita is a popular South Indian side dish brimming with flavour.
Bajra Khichdi
The Rajasthani comfort food is made with boiled finger millet and spices. They are good sources of fibre too and keep bad cholesterol at bay.
Jowar Roti
Jowar or Sorghum is a millet packed with fibre, protein and of course potassium. It is also very filling in comparison to atta roti.
Moong Dal Chila
The desi pancake made with moong dal pulp, onions and amla is a winner. Pair with chutney or pickle and start the day on a healthy note.
Amla Chutney
Amla has 20 times more vitamin C than oranges and Vitamin C has been linked with reduced blood pressure levels. This zingy chutney goes best with roti or rice.
