Carrots, pumpkin and dark green leafy vegetables contain pigments the body can turn into vitamin A. Dairy and eggs can also provide vitamin A if they fit your diet.
Use two colours you already buy
On one day, make kaddu sabzi. On another, put greens into dal or make carrot poriyal, a dry South Indian vegetable side. The mix over the week gives you more options than repeating one food.
Read fortified oil labels in context
Some edible oils have added vitamin A. If your oil is fortified, check the nutrients on its label and keep the usual amount you use in cooking. Start a simple food record · NIH vitamin A fact sheet · FSSAI fortification guide
One kitchen, different needs: a practical family food plan
Plan two dishes for the week
Make pumpkin sabzi once and use the leftover pumpkin in dal or sambar. On another day, buy a bunch of greens you already know how to cook. In a household that eats eggs or dairy, record those foods separately if you are making a food list. This keeps the list useful for everyone at the table, including family members who choose different foods. If you buy fortified oil, use the pack to check which vitamins were added.
