During my pregnancy days every afternoon I had to brainstorm as what to eat for lunch. As I ate alone so I hardly felt like cooking. Generally my meal comprised of milk, cornflakes, an apple or sand witch. But my doctor advised me to eat healthy and being an eggitarian I had to be careful to cook with nutritious and healthy ingredients. Mostly I opted for a one-dish meal with lots of vegetable, eggs, soy granules, mushrooms etc.
Now as MIL has left and with hubby in office this Monday both Maa and me didn’t feel like cooking. So I recreated one of those lonely meals for us, and like those pregnancy days we had our noodles with glasses of mango Tang. It was quite filling, tasty and quick.
