STEAMED FISH WITH MASHED POTATOES-SO HEALTHY AND FILLING!!!

ZERO-OIL cooking is cooking food without the usage of oil, the cooking method may be steaming, baking, etc.The whole idea behind ZERO-OIL is just to restrict the intake of Oil / Butter / Ghee to the prescribed limit per day and not to avoid it completely as minimum of 10% of calories should come from fats and oils.Fats / Oils are good source of energy, aid in the absorption of Fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K, help in digestion.
Zero-Oil food is good for weight-watchers, maintaining cholesterol, in certain sicknesses and for maintaining over-all health.The idea is to include regular dishes with ZERO_OIL dishes and creating a perfect balance of your meals to regulate your fat intake.
