What could be more satisfying than rice topped with a scoop of fresh yogurt served with an array of pickles on the side ??? This magical yogurt making process wonders many even though this is a routine in many households back home…in particular, all first timers, newly wed girls…. just pondering over Google for help, considering it to be a difficult task. But in reality, its just a few steps away. After a relaxing break, here comes the most healthy, all natural and nutritional white wonder from my kitchen.
Kale is one tough leafy vegetable with woodsy stalks and chewy leaves similar to Murungai Keerai, leaving us with few recipe options. Cooking this with lentils was considerably easy for intake with minimal effort. Tried this with Bengal gram, following traditional kootu preparation and had no problem with picky eaters. Fresh kale (green or purple) belong to the Wild cabbage / Broccoli family, rich in anti-oxidants with high nutrition content. These type of veggies usually get a red carpet welcome in my kitchen and will be honoured with lentil studded crown.
Oats contains sufficient amount of proteins they r nearly equivalent in quality to soya protein..very good for breakfast..i tried out as idli n dosais, authentic dishes of TamilNadu with oats..really its came out well..
Parathas with Avocado??? quite interesting isn't it?? Recently bought a pack of flavoured tortilla from a speciality store which had one variety with avocado, it was so delicious and that inspired me to try this with our chapatis. This fruit is full of buttery creamy green flesh with plenty of healthy monounsaturated fat. That's a green signal for a good diet and have used it as a substitute in the place of regular fat in our parathas.
