Vegetable Tempura Platter

Tempura platters are a popular Asian dish, typically consisting of various vegetables lightly battered and deep-fried. This dish is not only delicious, but it has surprising health benefits due to the ingredients used. The batter used to coat the vegetables is a mixture of wheat flour, water, baking powder, and salt, and the vegetables used can range from zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, and more. Wheat flour is a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and the vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Furthermore, the deep-frying itself is beneficial to health when done in moderation, as it can help increase the absorption of certain fat-soluble vitamins and minerals. All of these benefits make tempura platters a great option for those looking to maintain a sattvic lifestyle.
