A Healthy One-Dish Meal

So, now that you know how to get a better understanding of you diet through several online nutritional tools, I would like to recommend a healthy one-dish meal which contains all nutrients your body needs. A one-dish meal has basically one dish. But, not all one-dish meals are healthy. So, what exactly is the definition of a HEALTHY one-dish meal? It should contain all the nutrients in the amount according to the Healthy Diet Pyramid! So, my one-dish meal is an Indian dish but it is very tasty and healthy at the same time!
