The first step in cultivating a healthy eating lifestyle is arming your kitchen. The right appliances and tools can make meal-planning and cooking much easier. And often setting up your kitchen with new gadgets can make trying out healthy recipes something to look forward to.

At Prestige, we are aware that the pandemic caused a shift in the Indian kitchen encouraging individuals to reassess their eating habits and experiment more with healthy Indian recipes. Which is why we thought it was about time we curated a list of our favourite smart kitchen tools.

1. Hand Blender

Whipping up healthy meals should be as easy as reaching for an unhealthy snack. Cold soups, creamy vegetable purees and quick sauces are easy with a hand blender and it does not occupy too much space in the kitchen. The Prestige Hand Blender PHB 11 is an affordable tool to experiment with healthy recipes on a daily basis.

2. Chilla and Dosa Tawa

Indian cuisines have plenty of healthy recipes to experiment with. Chillas and Dosas made of quinoa, oats, besan and, various dals are two such examples. The Prestige Omega Deluxe Granite Dosa Tawa is especially designed for making dosas and chillas. Plus, it is compatible with both gas and induction cooktops. The Die-Cast Plus Dosa Tawa is another option at a slightly higher cost because it has a handy heat-indicator on the handle to indicate the temperature of the pan, this is especially useful to time crispy dosas. And the Die-Cast body retains heat longer as well.

3. Frying Pan

Tossing tons of vegetables and meats for a healthy lunch rice bowl or dinner roti-wrap is a great way to start eating healthier and packing meals with greens and proteins. The Prestige Omega Deluxe Granite Fry Pan does not call for a lot of oil and is made to whip-up quick meals plus it is easy to clean and maintain.

4. Grain Grinder

Grinding grains like wheat, pulses, oats, jowar, ragi, rice and many others is achievable right at home. The Prestige Grain Grinder is powerful, quick, and easy to use. It comes with grinder settings in order to control how fine or coarse the final product will be. Ground grains can be incorporated in multiple ways to daily healthy meals.

The best way to kick-start a healthy lifestyle is to make it as easy and convenient as possible. And some of these appliances can aid in that journey to health.
