recipes that is πŸ™‚ I love to experiment in my kitchen and regular readers know it by mostly… So when I read this post by Roop, which says that she finds desi cooking boring. This is what she has to say

No matter what cookbook I read, it’s the same recipe one after another. A combination of various spices to be tempered, onions to be browned, garlic/ginger to be added if liked, and the rest. True, you can add in new flavors, play with ingredients – example, adding chickpeas to your standard fare of baingan ka bhartha – but really, the base of all cooking remains similar. How much can one ignore the mundane?

Well I for one couldnt disagree more πŸ™‚ I started to type a looooooong comment to her and than thoought of giving a couple of recipes to prove otherwise πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ roop I hope these are good enough to make it intersting for u πŸ˜›

Uttapam Sandwich

Yes you heard it right, I had first read about it long long ago in a magazine somewhere and since than I have been making it at home regularly and I can’t tell you what a hit it is at home… I make it with various stuffings and turns out well with every one of them… this one is my favourite though, something about combining the chinese and the indian flavours

What I used

  • Dosa batter
  • Mix vegetables I used yellow and red peppers, onions and carrots
  • Soya sauce – 2 tsp
  • Vinegar – 1 tsp
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil for stir frying

How I made it

  • Heat oil in a pan, add onions and fry till pink
  • Add the cut and grated veggies and stir fry on high flame till just about tender
  • Add salt, pepper and sauces fry for another 1 minute
  • Keep it away to cool down

  • Now heat the dosa tawa/pan and spread the batter on it a little thick to make a utthapam
  • Flip when cooked and cook the other side
  • Cut from the center and spread the veggies on one half

  • Cover with second half and grill it, I use the sandwich maker and griller that I have at home

And gulp them down πŸ™‚

Oats Idly

There is no limit to what can we done with the humble idly, the variations that I make with idlies are so many that when I wanted to choose one for here I was totally confused, I make pumpkin idly, cucumber idly, spinach and cheese idly and ofcourse the good old rava idly… What is my favorite here is the oats idly… I have said that on the blog before that I love oats and a cereal but unfortunately no one in my house eats it… hence I keep discovering recipes that contains oats in forms other than porridge and that is when I chanced upon oats idlies and trust me they are worth the try… totally nutritous and give the regular idly such a nice facelift

What I used

  • Oats – 1 1/2 cups
  • Semolina/Rawa – 1/2cup
  • Mix veggies – 1 cup (I used grated carrots, capsicum, chopped onions and boiled peas)
  • Sour Curds – 2 cup
  • Green chilli – 2 chopped
  • Corainder leaves – a handful
  • Curry leaves – 6-7
  • Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
  • Chana dal – 1 tsp
  • Urad dal – 1 tsp
  • Oil – 1 tsp
  • Eno Fruit Salt – 1 tsp

How I made it

  • Mix oats, rawa and curds and keep aside for 30 minutes
  • Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds
  • when they crack add curry leaves, channa dal and urad dal
  • fry till it turns light brown in color
  • Add the tempering to the oats mixture.
  • Add the veggies and salt to taste and mix well
  • Grease the idly mould and keep them ready
  • Add the eno fruit salt and pour in moulds immediately
  • Steam for about 15 minutes and your idlies and ready to be demolished

Dunk in a bowl of sambhar and relish

or if u like my little one who just wants to touch sambhar and eat, ur loss πŸ˜‰

So roop does this excite u enough πŸ™‚

cheese, curd, Friday Feast, green chutney, peas, recipe, sandwich, veggies, whole wheat bread

I love sandwiches, the very fact that you can make a sandwich as healthy or as sinful as you want :D.. Also you can eat them at any time of the time.. breakfast, snacks, dinner… Isn’t that versatile.

I am eating a lot of sandwiches for breakfast these days however I find very less recipes that can suit my requirements these days viz no cheese, no butter, no potatoes but still tasty πŸ™‚ A lot surfing, a little bit from this recipe, a lit bit from that and I have discovered my own set of such healthy and low cal sandwich recipes. Here are the two which are my favourite.

Avanti hopefully you can use them for your snacks too and Sols hope peanut likes them too.. Let me try and do some recipes that I make for Ojas next week :D, only point is that I will have to click pics

Green Peas and Roasted Tomato Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of whole wheat/multigrain bread
  • 1 cup shelled and boiled peas
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 tomato
  • Green Chutney/ cheese spread
  • Grated cheese (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 flakes of garlic

Method

  • Mash the green peas coarsely by either a masher or in the mixer
  • Cut the onions and mix the masalas, green peas and onions together
  • Cut the tomatoes in round, place them on a microwave friendly plate and microwave on HIGH for abour 4 mins
  • Sprinkle the oregano and garlic flakes on top of the tomatoes
  • Put the microwave on convection/grill and roast for about 5 mins
  • Spread green chutney on one side of two slices, for kids or for those who like and can afford cheese use cheese spread πŸ™‚
  • Put a layer of green peas stuffing on the bread and put 2-3 roasted tomatoes on the top, u can also top it with grated cheese if u want
  • Grill it or roast it on the tava
  • Repeat with the other two slices

PS: pls excuse the qaulity of the above pics… taken from N’s lousy cell camera πŸ™‚

Its an absolutely yummilicious sandwich and very healthy because of the nutrients used.

Dahi Walla Sandwich

  • 4 whole wheat/multigrain bread slices
  • 1 cup curd
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1/2 cup grated cabbage
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • pinch of nutmeg/cinnamon powder

Method

I really love this sandwich, I used to love mayo based sandwich but since I cant have it now I found this closer and healthier option. Personally I think that curd is the best way to have milk based products. Extremely healthy, maximum amount of calcium and great bacteria for the stomach..
