Siddhartha Singh dropped a summer meal plan to keep you fueled without feeling heavy, from cooling curd rice to protein-packed fish curry. 
Curd rice is a legendary Indian summer staple for a reason.
Celebrity fitness trainer Siddhartha Singh, known for training actor Tamannaah Bhatia, took to Instagram on June 26 to share a practical 'seven-day Indian summer meal plan' designed to keep you nourished without feeling weighed down.

Acknowledging the gruelling summer weather, Siddhartha said, "We all know it's 45 degrees outside, nobody feels like eating anything, so check out these combos." He highlighted that hot weather shouldn’t mean skipping meals, offering simple, balanced, and hydrating alternatives instead.
Here are the seven expert-recommended meal combinations to get you through the scorching heat:
1. Curd rice + cucumber + paneer bhurji
Perfect for a midday meal, this combination balances cooling elements with essential macronutrients. According to Siddhartha, "This is light and also packed with protein."
2. Moong dal khichdi + raita
When the heat leaves your digestive system feeling sluggish, turning to comfort food is key, Siddhartha highlighted as he recommended this gentle pairing. He said, "This is on days when your stomach needs a rest."
3. Rajma chawal + salad + buttermilk (Chaas)
You don't have to give up your favourite comfort foods just because it's summer. Defending the classic kidney bean (rajma) dish, Siddhartha clarified, "And no, rajma is not the problem, just make sure you don't have five servings of this."
4. Lauki chana dal + roti + buttermilk
Bottle gourd (lauki) is highly prized for its water content, even if it isn't everyone's top choice. "Even I don't like lauki, but it's a summer vegetable, very good for you," Siddhartha admitted.
5. Fish curry + rice + salad
For non-vegetarians looking for a lean protein source, fish is an excellent summer alternative to heavier meats, Siddhartha shared, adding that this combo is his 'personal favourite, packed with protein, also lighter than maybe a chicken and rice meal'.
6. Sambar rice + cucumber salad + Greek yoghurt
This south Indian-inspired staple offered a comprehensive nutritional profile. Siddhartha said, "Protein aa gaya ji, veggies bhi aa gaye (it has protein and veggies, both), it's a win-win in this summer heat."
7. Dal rice + ladyfinger (bhindi) + buttermilk
Sometimes, keeping it basic is the best approach to summer nutrition. Highlighting its benefits, Siddhartha explained that the combo offered 'some amount of protein, and the bhindi is going to give you fibre'. He said, "It's a simple meal, but sometimes simple is what works."
