Haleem is a common diet that can be used by people of all age group. It is prepared by different methods and consists of Lens culinaris L., Hordeum vulgare L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., Vigna mungo L., Vigna radiate L., Cicer arietinum L., Oryza sativa L., Triticum aestivum L., Gallus gallus domesticus, Brassica napus L., Zingiber officinale Rosec., Curcuma longa L., Allium sativum L., Allium cepa L., Capsicum annuum L., Cinnamomum zeylanicum L., Cuminum cyminum L., Myristica fragrans Houtt, Piper longum L., Mentha piperita L., Amomum subulatum Roxb., Coriandrum sativum L., Mangifera indica L., Citrus lemon L. and rock salt. These materials either from plant, animal and mineral origin contain variety of substances such as dietary fibers, energy, proteins, carbohydrates, lignins, tannins, flavonoids, phytosterols, squalene, tocopherols, saponins, pre-biotics, plant acids, sterol, crude fibre, fats, vitamin and minerals. Key words: Neurological disorder, nutrition, micronutrients, macronutrients, bioactive compounds.

Highlights

  • Consumption of food that contains large quantity of plant material provides abundant phyto-chemicals and nonnutritive material that has protective effect on human health. Natural dietary agents such as fruits, vegetables, spices and biologically active compounds have drawn a great attention from scientific community and general public due to their health promoting effects (Shukla and Singh, 2007; Rizwani and Zahid, 2014)

  • Wheat is considered a good source of mineral such as zinc, iron, selenium and magnesium, vitamins such as thiamine, vitamin-B, pantothenic acid, pigments, enzymes, carbohydrate 78.10%, protein 14.70%, fat 2.10% (Kumar et al, 2010, 2011), antioxidants, phytochemicals and dietary fibers

  • Whole black gram is a rich source of protein, fiber, several vitamins, calcium, iron (Girish and Rao, 2012), fructose, non-reducing oligosaccharides, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, verbascose, ajugose (Kotiguda and Mulimani, 2006; Suneja et al, 2011)
