Do you really think that you need to avoid carbohydrates if you want to get leaner? Not at all. The main thing is a source and size of the portion. You do not need to avoid it once you monitor it.
There is no better way than turning old school home made dishes into upgraded healthy version.
Kopytka are simple flour and potato dumplings cooked in salted water, served with a sauce. I have change the original recipe slightly, using gluten free flour instead of wheat. It makes the dish much healthier. Your stomach will be completely fine after eating even whole plate of this. No bloating, no constipation, no stomach pain, no reflux. Simple to make and so tasty. This is how we make it 🙂
You can make your own variation of sauce or use mine , Indian inspired tomato and onion sauce. Try it, you will not regret it .
The dish fits perfectly the ”healthy” standards. It suits the family lunch or dinner. If you are sport active it will support your body both before and after workout.
