One small cooking change that passed the family taste test?

Household meals: you want to cut a bit of oil/salt or add more veg/protein without starting a food fight. What one tiny change did you actually make that family accepted (or didn’t notice)? Example: mixing grated veggies into keema, browning in less oil, or swapping half the butter for ghee. Say the tweak and whether it stuck.

Try small, compensating changes so taste stays acceptable: mix finely grated or pureed veg into keema, dal or sauces (adds fibre/protein bulk without obvious texture); use umami boosters (mushroom or tomato paste, roasted garlic, a splash of low‑salt soy) and a squeeze of lemon/vinegar to make food taste ‘full’ with less salt; brown in a nonstick pan or replace up to half the oil with low‑salt broth/yogurt for cooking; cut salt 10–20% each week so palates adapt. (WHO recommends keeping salt <5 g/day; watch sodium in soy/sauces.)
