Are fried foods and namkeens to be stopped altogether?
Fried foods are loaded with oil. When these are bought off the shelf, the concern is not only of the amount but also the quality of the oil used for frying. The same is true for “namkins”. It is prudent to avoid such foods as far as possible. Blot them with brown paper if you must. If possible, have roasted namkins prepared at home. Some good choices include chirwa (roasted puffed rice), popcorns and cornflakes roasted in a utensil or under the grill. Roasted nuts may also be substituted as a healthy choice.
