A deep hankering

Our expert gives some healthy ways to indulge yourself

I’m trying to lose weight but I hanker for deep fried foods — is there a lower calorie version of chicken nuggets or fries I can make without an air fryer?

—Akanksha Naidu, Via Instagram

If you don’t have an air fryer, then the best thing you can do is take a non-stick pan and brush it with oil and put your chicken nuggets or french fries on that. Cover it and keep tilting it and flipping it every two to three minutes, till they are nice and crispy. Make sure you use a non-stick pan.

Prateek’s signature restaurant, Masque, is changing India’s culinary landscape and was awarded the One To Watch Award by Asia’s 50 Best in 2020
