Several people are moving away from eating traditional Indian food and opting for bland, tasteless meals. But little do they know that the spices added to Indian dishes are in fact a great weight loss booster and can help burn fat effectively. They also add a unique flavour to our meals. So don’t skip these spices from your food even if you are on a weight loss mission.

Cumin or jeera: This spice is often the first thing that is added to any preparation after the oil heats. Cumin has carminative properties which help in better digestion of food and also aid in burning fat from the stomach. So do not skip adding this spice in your meals.

Turmeric or haldi: Added to most our dishes, turmeric has a compound called curcumin which helps prevent fat deposits in the body by reducing insulin and leptin resistance levels that are responsible for it. Adding a pinch of it your food every day will do the trick. You can also add it to milk and drink it before bed.  

Red chili powder: Made by crushing chilies, this powder is effective in helping you losing weight. The presence of capsaicin compound increases the metabolic activity in the body and the heat generated also helps in burning fat. Add a dash of chili powder to curries to reap in its benefits. 

Garam masala: This is essentially a mix of several spices such as clove, cumin, cinnamon, etc. Since all these spices are effective for weight loss, garam masala too is beneficial for people on a weight loss diet. Add not more than a teaspoon of it to your meals.  

Curry leaves or kadi patta: Want to get rid of unwanted fat deposits in your body, start eating curry leaves today. These leaves are rich in fibre and other minerals and help flush out toxins from the body. So chew on them as they are not just for garnish but to also help you lose weight. 

Cinnamon or dalchini: It is usually added to dishes as it lends a very aromatic flavour to food but it also has weight loss properties. Cinnamon helps in reducing abdominal fat as it has a fat-burning effect in the body. So if you are someone struggling to lose belly fat, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to your meals.
