Multigrain Chapati with Carrot Greens/tops🥕 Di

Multigrain Chapati with Carrot Greens/tops🥕

Did you know that carrot greens are not only edible but also nutritious? They have an earthy flavor and taste a bit cilantro-ey.

I find carrot greens great for garnishing toasts curries, and salads. But they also taste great when added in chapati/paratha like this.

Ingredients:
1 cup of Multigrain flour
1/4 tsp carom seeds
A pinch of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin powder
A pinch of salt
2 tsp olive oil
Carrot greens/tops of 2 medium carrots, rinsed & finely chopped
Warm water as required to make dough

🫓 Mix all the ingredients to make a firm dough. 🫓Brush oil on the dough, let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
🫓Roll the dough into chapatis. Cook on a tawa on both sides until well done by smearing ghee on both sides.
🫓Serve with pickles, plain yogurt and dal. (I used leftover spinach dal instead) Enjoy!

Happy Sunday Everyone!😌 Here’s a photo/vide

Happy Sunday Everyone!😌

Here’s a photo/video dump of some delicious homemade goodies from last week.😋

1. Toasties (details in my "lunch/dinner" story highlights)
2. Banana pepper and onion Bajjis (I could not resist making bajjis after seeing a recent post by @rujuta.diwekar )
3. Rice with black-eyed peas curry and ghee
4. Avocado toast with salt, crushed black pepper and lemon seasoning
5. Avocado chapati with black-eyed peas curry, and cucumber.
🥑 I had come across numerous posts about avocado chapatis on Instagram, but I was hesitant to try it because I don't particularly like cooking fruits. Then I researched online and learned that they may lose some nutritional value when cooked, but it's totally ok to cook them. So I made avo chapatis with just half of a fully ripened avocado. They came out tasty and SO soft!
6. My kind of Tacos 🌮🤪 with whole wheat chapati, leftover chickpeas usli, onion, green chilies, coriander leaves, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce.

GREEN GRAM MILLET PONGAL/ KHICHADI If you're loo

GREEN GRAM MILLET PONGAL/ KHICHADI

If you're looking for a tasty and healthy sattvic meal, try this easy one-pot pongal recipe, perfect for lunch or dinner.

We have two days a week dedicated to sattvic meals here, which means no chili, onion, garlic, hing, and other negative pranic foods. This Pongal recipe is a perfect fit for those days.

Ingredients:
1 cup of green gram, soaked overnight
3/4th cup of little millet, thoroughly rinsed
3 1/2 cups of water
2 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
5-6 curry leaves
1/4 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Black pepper powder to taste
Salt to taste
5-10 cashews, fried in ghee

Heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add mustard and cumin seeds, and allow them to pop and sizzle. Keeping the heat on low, add curry leaves and grated ginger. Then add turmeric powder and black pepper powder. Sauté for a couple of seconds and add little millet, green gram with salt to taste, and water.

Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Cover and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles or until ingredients are soft. Once the pressure releases naturally, gently mash the Pongal, adjust salt and consistency to your liking by adding water. Cook on medium heat for a couple of minutes and turn off heat.

Lastly, fry some cashews in a tbsp of ghee and add them along with ghee into khichadi for that crunch.

Serve it warm and enjoy!

Masala Puffed Rice/ Spicy Murmura I absolutely lo

Masala Puffed Rice/ Spicy Murmura

I absolutely love Masala Puffed Rice as a snack during tea time. It was one of my favorite childhood snacks, especially when my ajji made it(we call it puri oggarane). She also makes a sweet version using flattened rice (Avalakki), which is just as tasty.🤌

This snack can be prepared in less than five minutes, provided you have all the ingredients. Once it’s done, let it cool and then store it in an airtight container for up to a month to keep it fresh.

Ingredients:
4 cups of puffed rice
1/4 cup of peanuts
1/4 cup of roasted Bengal gram
3-4 dried red chilies, split into halves
3 tbsp peanut/coconut oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
8-10 curry leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste

Heat oil in a wide pan on medium heat. Add peanuts and roasted Bengal gram, and fry them until golden brown. Then add mustard seeds, allow them to pop, then add dried red chilies and curry leaves. (you can add 2-3 garlic cloves too here and fry them until they are light brown)

Turn off the heat and add turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Sauté for a couple of seconds, then add puffed rice and combine until the spices evenly coat the puffed rice.

Serve with Indian tea, or enjoy it as is as a snack.

Red rice with Malabar spinach Dahl and Papad😋

Red rice with Malabar spinach Dahl and Papad😋

I never miss picking up Malabar spinach from the grocery store, whenever there is. It’s slimy when cooked and tastes different from all other greens I use in Dahl/sambar. And bonus - it’s loaded with nutrients! Combine that with fiber and protein-rich red rice and crunchy papad to make a healthy and delicious lunch.💚
