Cauliflower Light Fry

Cauliflower is a wonderful healthy vegetable which is very high in Protein, Vitamin C,K , Fiber and too less in cholesterol and saturated fat. Equally.., it makes tasty dishes. Take the vegetable in any form, cooked, raw - for example as soaked in lime juice and salt.. it tastes great. This fry needs a very little amount of oil and so I thought I'd call it light fry :) Also, it takes very less time to get fried so, this can be planned instantly too.

Aloo Cutlet / Potato Patties


Who will not love a dish that's made with Aloo/Potato?? Here comes one of those interesting recipes. Aloo cutlet was one such snack which my mom used to prepare for us in my childhood days.. :) I need not actually say anything much about this dish as it's well known to everyone :) Let's begin with the recipe.. Here again, there are many many versions of preparing these patties.. I leave it to your choice about adding the vegetables accompanying the Potatoes.. if you are not willing to add up any other vegetable to this, go ahead with just Potatoes and Peas. These patties, as a change from the regular Aloo cutlet chat, can be sandwiched with the toasted Bread :)

Gunta Ponganalu / Snack with Dosa Batter


Gunta Poganalu is a very favorite snack of mine.. Dipping those Gooey 'Punugulu' with the coconut chutney and having them is just mmm.. mouth watering. Whenever dosa batter is prepared some part of it is kept aside without diluting it with water, so as to use it for the 'Gunta Punugulu' preparation. To make this, the Dosa batter should be little thick unlike the way it is while preparing a Dosa. You need to have a Punugulu pan for this which makes the dish more convenient to prepare. Let's start with it :)

Turnip Greens Masala


Turnip Greens are the leaves of the Turnip, a root-vegetable. I have always made Turnip Dal but this time, wanted something different out of it in our Indian style. Tried it the way Aloe Palak is made and surprisingly, it came out very very delicious than I was expecting. All you need to take care while cooking these greens is to wash the leaves very thoroughly since it carries lot of sand/dust. Turnip Greens are very rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Phosphorus and a very good source of Fiber. Leafy veggies as known, are always good. Try this recipe!

Bread-Egg Upma

Hello Viewers.. Today, I have come up with yet another yummy dish 'Bread-Egg Upma'. Eggs are a good source of Riboflavin, Vitamin B12 and Protein. Where as, they are again high in saturated fat and cholesterol. So, it's ideal have them in your diet once a while but not very regular. However, the white's of the egg never does any harm if taken frequently too. Keeping now-a-day's calorie consciousness in mind, I have taken the main Ingredient Bread too, to be made up of whole wheat. It tasted equally good as the regular bread does and hope you all would enjoy this. Following is the video with the whole process in detail.. Check it out!

Carrot Fry


Carrots, as known, is a very healthy vegetable which is rich in Vitamin A. I use them as much as possible in my regular dishes. Sometimes direct and grated, at times.

Here I go with it.. It's a bit spicy because of which, must of the sweetness is suppressed.

Borugulu or Maramaralu Mixture / Puffed Rice Mixture


This is the most common road side bandi wala's(Street side seller) snack, popularly known as 'Muntha kinda pappu(Andhra)' or 'Jhaal Muri(in Calcutta)'.  Usually the bandi wala keeps a heap of Borugulu(Murmur/Maramaralu) and a claypot on the top of the heap with hot charcoal in it(to continuously roast the 'Borugulu' under the pot). Just before preparing, he takes a dried hallow coconut shell, adds some roasted 'Borugulu' taking from under the hot claypot to the shell. Around his  'Borugulu' basket he carries chopped tomato, onion, boiled chana dal, fried peanuts and all the other spices in different vessels. He adds up all one by one and mixes them thoroughly and finally serves them in a paper cone topping with some coriander leaves... Aaah! It sounds so mouth-watering isn't it????

Veggie Perugu Dosa / Perugu Attu / Veggie Curd Dosa

Rice flour can be used as a primary ingredient in lot many varieties of recipes. It gives a kind of crispy taste to most of the dishes. Perugu dosa is a superb simple recipe which has not much ingredients in it yet, tastes great! Try this out!


Ingredients:


2 cups Curd
2 chopped Carrots
1 Onion chopped
3 Green chillies chopped
1 tbsp chopped Ginger
Rice flour
Salt to taste

Directions:


1. Take curd in a bowl, add 3 cups of water to it and stir it thoroughly(Nothing but like buttermilk, a bit thicker).


2. Add required amount of rice flour to this liquid and mix well (Add the flour slowly while mixing it with the liquid in between until it has got a Dosa batter's consistency). Let it rest for atleast 8 hours.
3. Add chopped carrot, onion, green chillies and ginger to this batter. Adjust salt and mix well.


4. Heat a dosa pan and spread the batter like a dosa and fry both sides until golden brown adding little oil to it.
5. Serve dosa's hot with coconut chutney.



Tips:
If you have a practice of churning the milk to separate butter at home, follow this tip. After separating the cream from the milk you will be left out with the buttermilk. Using this buttermilk at step 1 instead of preparing with the curd would really give an added taste to this recipe.

Tofu Paratha

Tofu is made of Soya and  is rich in both high quality protein and B-vitamins. Tofu is, therefore, an excellent substitute for meat in many vegetarian recipes. It looks exactly like Paneer(Indian cheese) but raw tofu is almost tasteless.. unlike Paneer. Adding this to Curries, Parathas would do justice to Tofu's taste. I have tried this Paratha recently and felt this is the best way to take Tofu in much quantity. Also can follow the same procedure with Paneer too and I am sure it would taste great. Please check this one.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 block Tofu (Mashed with hands)
1 medium size Onion
1/2 cup Tomato puree
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tbsp kasoori methi (optional)
Coriander leaves
Pinch of turmeric
Salt to taste
Few drops of lemon


Directions:

1. Mix wheat flour with water in a bowl and prepare a soft dough. Keep it aside.
2. Heat a pan with little oil, fry chopped onions until transparent. Add mashed Tofu and fry for 5 mints.
3. Add tomato puree, fry for 2-3 min. Add turmeric, kasoori methi, chopped coriander leaves, garam masala, chilli powder, salt and lemon drops. Mix them well and keep aside.
4. Make lemon size balls with a dough, make small rotis, stuff it with the Tofu mixture and press them into parathas.
5. Heat a roti pan, fry parathas both the sides with some oil until golden brown. Serve them hot with any curry.
