Saffola Meet Up: Because Healthy Can Be Tasty

In my conversations with amateur and professional sportsmen, one thing that always draws my attention is their health regime. And more often than not, the one thing that always comes out is the importance of a proper diet. So, whether it means having to miss out on your favorite butter chicken or the cookies in the glass jar staring at you from the corner of the room, a lot of sacrifices have to be made.

A little over a week back I got a call from the guys at Saffola about a rather interesting afternoon that they were planning around the other side of food. First thought, what does other side of food really mean?

Excited as always to meet new people and to witness the magic of Chef Vikas, I stumble into Blue Frog. The setting is pretty awesome with a Master Chef style stage grabbing the attention of all my fellow attendees. A couple of minutes of waiting and then walked in the afternoon’s host with Chef Vikas. Humor and simplicity of the internationally acclaimed chef seemed to have everyone completely glued onto him.

The chef started off with the health angle to food, spoke about some disgusting vegetables before he arrived at a slightly unbelievable thought, tasty can be healthy. Like me, a lot of the other attendees took to their Smartphone’s to tweet about his tall claim. After giving a short but interesting backgrounder, Vikas got to work . He cooked some lovely dishes out of some basic vegetables and then time for another claim, Oats can be tasty.

By now I knew, he was either majorly jet lagged or partied far too hard the previous night.

The next half an hour changed the way I looked at oats. That guy got people to make delicious pizza from Oats. The innovation was simple and only required basic cooking skills. In no time half the audience had some extremely interesting Oat dishes up their sleeve or rather on the table. Hard to accept  but well there is surprisingly another side to healthy food, its called tasty.

I am sure a lot of you sports enthusiasts struggling to maintain a good diet are wondering whether Masala Oats will help you keep things under control. Though, I am no culinary expert but as someone who likes to eat right without really compromising on taste, I would strongly recommend you to give them a try.
