Spicy delicacies laden with obscene amounts of oil will perhaps always remain the favourite kind of food consumed by us, here in Pakistan. However, while our love for all things desi cannot be sidelined, there is a niche – especially among the Pakistan urban middle-class that is increasingly adopting healthy eating habits.

This essentially means that a growing population of Pakistanis wants to enjoy their favourite cuisines in smaller portions and prepare them using healthier ingredients. The replacement of conventional ghee, first with vegetable oil and now, olive oil in our kitchens is one small example of this changing trend.

Taking heed of people’s shifting preferences, eateries are also beginning to offer healthier options in their menus as opposed to the high-calorie items that they exclusively flaunted a few years ago.

In fact some Islamabad food joints, are also delivering meal boxes at offices and homes that are designed especially for those who are either generally health conscious or are trying to lose weight.

However, unlike the bland pile of vegetables that come in mind when talking about “healthy food,” these eateries have not disregarded the fact that people have taste buds(!) and have developed recipes that are just as delicious as they are healthy!

However, it is not just the size of the eatery that has changed. Its menu too has completely transformed over the years. Compared to the high-carb sweet delights that it offered only a few years ago, Burning Brownie’s meal menu squarely focuses on salads and grilled sandwiches.

Low on calories and high on taste, the menu is likely to woo even the most reckless foodies.

Their mouth-watering, huge bowl of Combo Salad is highly recommended!
