This is not a regular home-cooked meal post but so

This is not a regular home-cooked meal post but something special from the past weekend.✨

These were a few meals and hot kashayas (couldn’t take pictures of a lot more) that we were served at @isha_usa during the 4-day Inner Engineering Retreat last weekend - Simple yet delicious, and mostly positive pranic food.

I’m glad I got to learn so much about food and its impact on our bodies. Super excited to incorporate everything possible into our lifestyle and share bits of it here on the gram too!🤩

Happy Thursday!🌸

So I realized that it had been a while since Sprouted horse gram curry (Molake hurulikalu saru) was up on my feed, so here it is😁 with toasted multigrain bun from our recent lunch.

Molake huruli kalu saru is a popular recipe from Karnataka, that’s not only delicious but healthy too. An excellent side dish for steamed rice, chapati, ragi mudde, and bread/bun😛 or you can eat it by itself too!

The full recipe for molake huruli kalu saru is on my blog, www.swaadista.com. I hope you try it. Tag me with your preparation if you do!

SWEET RAVE GANJI On days when I feel like eating/

SWEET RAVE GANJI

On days when I feel like eating/drinking something warm and light for my brunch, ganji is what I prefer.
It takes just 15 minutes to prepare, making it an excellent option for a quick breakfast too.

Also, it’s a good meal for when you are feeling under the weather that some even funnily refer to ganji as the ‘Patient’s food’.😁

Here’s how I make it:
* I’m not someone who enjoys milk in ganji, but you could add a quarter cup of boiled milk(regular or vegan) just before adding jaggery.*

Ingredients:
2 tbsp fine rava
1 1/2 cup of hot water
1 crushed cardamom or a pinch of cardamom powder
3 tbsp powdered jaggery(to taste)
Almond shavings

• Dry roast fine rava on low heat until aromatic.
• Add hot water and allow rava to cook and thicken on low heat, while stirring continuously
• Add cardamom (crushed or powdered)
• Add jaggery to taste, stir and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat until thick but runny
• Garnish with almond shavings and serve warm

CABBAGE PAKODA It’s raining pakodas here this w

CABBAGE PAKODA

It’s raining pakodas here this winter and I’m not complaining!😋

We used mint chutney(from previous night’s takeout) and homemade veggie dal as accompaniments to these yummy cabbage pakodas, and the combo tasted delicious!

Here’s how I made it:
#saveitforlater

Ingredients
🥬1 small cabbage, finely chopped
🥬1 small red onion, finely chopped
🥬a few finely chopped curry leaves
🥬a handful of chopped cilantro
🥬1/4 inch ginger, chopped
🥬1/4 tsp ajwain
🥬1/2 tsp turmeric powder
🥬2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
🥬salt to taste
🥬1 tsp fine Sooji rava
🥬2 tbsp rice flour
🥬4 tbsp gram flour
🥬water

For deep-frying:
🥬cold-pressed peanut oil

Add all the pakoda mixture ingredients(other than water) into a mixing bowl and combine well.

Add water in small amounts and combine to make a thick mixture. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Check back to see if the mixture has released any water. If so, add a tablespoon more of gram flour and combine again.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Take small quantities of the pakoda mixture in a table spoon, carefully drop them one by one into the hot oil. Deep fry until golden brown. Remove excess oil using tissue.

Enjoy them with mint chutney or your fav dip.

COCONUT RICE 🌴🍚

Don’t worry about that extra dabba of white rice you get with your takeouts anymore! Save this recipe and make coconut rice with it the next time😉

The white rice I’ve used in this recipe is from our takeout recently, and it’s mildly(almost zero) flavored. But plain rice works best for this recipe.

🌿4 tbsp coconut oil
🌿1/4 tsp mustard seeds
🌿1/2 tsp chana dal
🌿1/4 tsp urad dal

🌿a sprig of curry leaves
🌿1 small red onion, finely chopped
🌿1/2 cup shredded coconut
🌿1/2 tsp black pepper powder
🌿Salt to taste
🌿3 tsp peanuts, fried in ghee

Heat oil in skillet. Pop mustard seeds, and fry chana dal and urad until golden brown. Break dried chili and add them, along with curry leaves.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then add shredded coconut, leftover rice, salt to taste and black pepper powder. Combine well, allowing it to cook for 3-4 min on medium heat.

Lastly, add fried peanuts and give everything a good mix. Enjoy crunchy and delicious coconut rice with coconut chutney/ pickles or as is!😋
