Coutinho was selected as one of the few international health leaders to represent India. His job was to design ‘Bharat Dish’ and present it to the Prime Minister’s Office for approval. After receiving the green light, he had the honor of meeting Modi, showcasing the dish as a tribute to India’s rich culinary diversity.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Coutinho explained that the dish emphasizes simple, healthy eating, particularly relevant given the growing obesity issue in India. The vegetarian dish is packed with seasonal superfoods known for their healing and immunity-boosting properties, like winter greens, turmeric, makhanas, sattu, and millets. This carefully crafted meal meets protein needs, provides essential nutrients, and highlights the power of local ingredients.

Prime Minister Modi has always encouraged the appreciation of traditional Indian food. He practices what he preaches by including makhana in his diet. His aim to promote healthy eating aligns perfectly with Coutinho’s mission. By embracing our culinary heritage, they both believe we can improve public health and reduce healthcare costs.

On his radio show Mann Ki Baat, Modi highlighted the urgent need to combat obesity and its link to serious health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure.

The ‘Bharat Dish’ is more than just a meal; it represents sustainable living and conscious food choices. Luke Coutinho champions the importance of using locally sourced, nutritious ingredients, encouraging everyone to reconnect with their roots.
