Twinkle Khanna, the multitalented actor, author, and producer, has started the ‘What’s In Your Dabba Challenge.’ This newest Bollywood craze is going viral on social media. As we know, celebrities are all about fitness and healthy eating. Many Bollywood Celebrities including Malaika Arora, Akshay Kumar, Sonali Bendre and many more have posted pictures of their healthy dabbas to show what it takes to maintain a fit body. Few days after being nominated for the trending ‘What is in your Dabba’ challenge by Akshay Kumar, actor Katrina Kaif shared healthy recipes. And the latest to share their dabba is Rakul Preet. Seems like we are all in for a series of healthy celebrity treats! Let’s have a sneak peek of their dabba-
The basic idea behind sharing this is to explore healthy recipes and switch to them as a part of your lunch meal or ‘dabba.’
Katrina Kaif Shared Healthy Recipes
While flaunting her adorable smile, Katrina Kaif took to Instagram and shared a picture of her feasting on Idli with Sambar along with two types of chutneys. Here is what she wrote-
“My mom has always told me that healthy eating should be a way of life and not a diet … so I completely agree with @akshaykumar on this one …..Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in my dabba , so this is my mid-morning snack ( or as lord of the rings put it second breakfast ????I try to eat simply and not too complex and have been taught by @dr.jewelgamadia to not be afraid of eating rice … so what better then idli chutney Traditionally Idli is made from naturally fermenting the rice and Urad dal batter. I also end up adding some yoghurt to ferment it further. (this makes the idlis fluffier)”
She further added, “I prefer having a spread of accompaniments. I usually do three chutneys moringa spinach chutney, tomato & beetroot chutney & plain coconut chutney. The other accompaniments can be Sambhar or rasam depending on my mood ???? I nominate @yasminkarachiwala and @varundvn to know more how they eat healthy @tweakindia #whatsinyourdabba”
