Breadcrumb Crusted Grilled Veggies

Tasty yet nutritious wholesome meal for lunch or dinner!

The worst phase of unhealthy eating is when you had guests over and you end up with a good portion of leftovers. In my case, the leftovers are always in the form of soft drinks and store bought chips. Well, why I am mentioning this is because I am munching crispy kukure when writing this blog! I tried not to but I had to :-)

Since morning I have been walking around with this bag of Kurkure, I had it by my side when working, when having my lunch and now when writing this blog! I have had my share of junk for today and hence thought of eating something healthy for dinner. 

I have always imagined, what if the world suddenly turns vegetarian? All those delicious seafood (I really do not care about meat) recipes I have treasured would go waste! As a kid I never fancied vegetables, but as and when I grew up, I started liking them but not to the extend to opt out seafood. So to ensure that we get our dose of vegetables, I experiment and this dish is the outcome of such a trail and error method.
