Friends, I made this power packed, healthy 3 course meal (plant based & fat free), as a surprise treat for my family on a Friday before they came back home. Keeping in mind few requests I get, regarding fat free (no oil, no cheese, no butter) meals, I made just my platter oil-free. I thoroughly enjoyed it equally, just like my family who had the same meal made using oil, cheese. This meal has:

Starter / Side: Tomato – Carrot Soup Main: Vegan Bean Burrito Wraps Dessert: Apple & Orange Fruit Salad

Tips & Plan to Follow:

The only prep work for this meal is, to soak the beans previous day (overnight) and to chop the vegetables & fruits needed. As I mentioned many times, I generally store soaked beans in freezer, which makes easy.

Started off with dicing / chopping the onions, tomatoes, carrots, salad veggies, avocado, spinach & fruits. Except that I put the chopped apple pieces in slightly salted water to prevent from oxidation. All this took 10 mins.

At first I have boiled the red beans / rajma and sweet potatoes, needed for the burger patties, in the Instant Pot, within 10 mins. Gave a quick release, emptied the pot and used the same Instant Pot for making the soup within 5-8 mins.

While the soup is being cooked, I made the patties and fried 10 of them (5 on stove top with oil, rest in an air fryer without oil).

Next, quickly made the spread (for the wraps) in the food processor within 2 mins. Assembled just 5 wraps to make them into perfect bean burger wraps. Later, cut each into 2. All this took 10 mins.

Making the fruit salad is super simple, took just 2 mins. At last, blending the soup and serving took 5 more mins.

After all this, I felt preparing such, Healthy 3 course Meal (Plant Based & Fat Free), meals takes much less involvement when compared to Indian meals. 🙂 

All items made simultaneously but attentively. Multi-tasking and using all gadgets available is the key.
