National Low Salt Cooking Challenge is an opportunity for aspiring chefs and nutritionists to prepare healthy, wholesome, appealing, low-salt Indian meals from various regions.
Excess salt consumption has adverse impact on heart health. Since most salt consumption comes from home cooked foods, we are challenging chefs to develop low salt and tasty home cooked recipes.
Aspiring chefs, nutritionists, dieticians, and students studying culinary science, nutrition or dietetics are invited to be part of the National Low Salt Cooking Challenge.
The submissions are open for Category A from 27th January until 15th February, 2021 and Category B from 16th February until 21st February, 2021. Submit your entries today!
It is first-of-its-kind completely virtual cooking event where participants will submit recipes online to participate.
National Low Salt Cooking Challenge will have three rounds of evaluation and participants will be judged by an esteemed jury at the regional and national level based on a complete meal prepared by the team.
