I am trying to eat better but my food has become repetitive, mostly dal rice and potato. I want easy Indian vegetables that are good and not too heavy. What did you include often?
My amma always made me eat lots of spinach, drumstick and beetroot during pregnancy, said it keeps iron up. I did keep them washed and cooked well. Still good to check with your doc if u have any restriction.
Green leafy ones like palak, methi and lauki are really good. Just a heads up, if u have sugar issues like me, go easy on starchy veg like potato and check portions with your dietitian.
Honestly u dont need fancy expensive stuff. Local seasonal veggies, carrots, beans, pumpkin, palak are cheap and full of nutrients. I managed my whole pregnancy diet on simple sabzi from the market.
I focused on a colourful plate, broccoli, carrots, beetroot, lots of greens. Made me feel light and energetic for my evening walks. Wash everything properly though, raw salads can be risky.
