Instant Daliya Idli | How to Make Daliya Idli | Healthy Daliya Idli

By -

Idli is one the most popular breakfast options across India. While traditionally, it is made with fermented rice and lentil batter, now-a-days many instant idli variations made with healthy grains are getting popular too. Some of them include the instant oats idli, rava idli and ragi idli. You can find the oats and rava idli on my blog and I make them quite often, however, this time I thought of making the idli with daliya or the broken wheat and to my utter happiness, it came out absolutely perfect and spongy. If you too are looking for instant and healthy breakfast options to try, then I must say, this is the recipe you must go for.

Best Homemade South Indian Sambar Recipe

By -
Image
A hearty stew made with yellow lentils, vegetables and heaps of aromatic spice powder, Sambar is a staple served with all the meals at every South Indian household. The flavorful lentil curry tempered with aromatic curry leaves, mustard seeds and whole dried red chilies makes for a delectable accompaniment whether having hot idlis , vada, dosa or even plain steamed rice. It won't be incorrect to say that while sambar is majorly known for its tongue-tickling taste, it is also packed with a lot of health benefits; toor dal lends it that much needed dosage of protein, the vegetables provide it with all the essential vitamins and minerals and lastly, addition of hing and tamarind loads it with immune-boosting properties. Having said that, every household has its own recipe of making sambar. Some like it to have thick, others a bit runny. Some like the chunkiness of vegetables whereas others like their sambar to be smooth. Some like it on a tangier side, others with just a hint

Farali Dhokla - Navratri Special [No Eno Fruit Salt] | Vrat ka Dhokla | Barnyard Millet Savory Steamed Cake

By -

Recently my husband travelled to Ahmedabad and while returning brought a 3-in-1 dhokla/idli/patra steamer for me. Since then, I am always in lookout for opportunities to use this versatile steamer. Well! in the past 15 - 20 days I have already tried my hands making the instant KHAMAN DHOKLA and the 3 GRAIN DHOKLA , both of which were a big hit on my blog. It was now time again to experiment something new; and because we all are observing the Navratri fasts , there was no choice but to come up with a farali dhokla . A few days back, I was just scrolling through various blogs to find a dhokla recipe for the vrat (fasting) but each one listed a recipe that called for use of either eno or baking soda. Since I did not want to incorporate any of these ingredients in my fasting recipe, I thought of  going the old-fashioned way i.e. fermenting the batter overnight so that it gets a natural rise while steaming. And to my utter surprise, it actually worked. I got a nice spongy and fluffy

Farali Dahi ke Kebab | Vrat ke Dahi Kebab | Navratri Recipes

So soft, delectable and absolutely melt in mouth, Dahi ke Kebab are one of the most loved and popular vegetarian appetizers served in almost every North Indian restaurant. While, authentically these kebabs either have besan (gram flour) or bread crumbs for the binding, however, when craving for these kebabs during fasting, you can't have them because of them having these grains. So, just so that I could enjoy these heavenly goodies in fasting too, I tried creating a farali version of them by adding makhana (foxnut) and sabudana flours instead of besan or bread crumbs for the binding. Trust me, they came out absolutely mindblowing and super tasty. If you too are someone who likes to fast and enjoy the delectable stuff at the same time, then this recipe is absolutely a must try.....  Farali Dahi ke Kebab | Vrat ke Dahi Kebab | Navratri Recipes INGREDIENTS Hung Curd -  1 Cup Grated Paneer - 1/4 cup Sendha Namak - as per taste Kala Namak - as per taste Sugar - 1 to 2 tsp F

Burani Raita Recipe | Spiced, Garlic Flavored Yogurt

By -
Image
Burani Raita is a famous Indian accompaniment to spicy biryanis and pulaos. A Hyderabadi specialty, it uses some thick yogurt that is mixed with few pounded cloves of garlic and some basic spice powders like red chili and roasted cumin, which lend it that much-needed hint of spicy kick. Not to mention, when it comes to making the Burani Raita, it is no more than a five minutes process and makes for an ideal side dish to go along with any kind of rice preparation or even chapati & sabzi combination. Ideally, this utterly flavorful and aromatic raita only has to it, some pounded raw garlic, however, I have given it a slight twist by topping it with some fried garlic bits and some red chili oil for extra flavoring. This step is totally optional and you can skip it altogether by sticking to the traditional way of making it. So, not wasting any time further, lets move on to the recipe....

Idli is one of the healthiest Indian breakfast options by far. These soft, pillowy and melt-in-mouth lentil cakes are traditionally made by fermenting rice and urad dal batter overnight; however, the entire process could be quite cumbersome and involves a little amount of planning ahead.

Punjabi Kathal ki Sabzi | North Indian Dry Unripe Jackfruit Curry

By -
Image
Kathal , also known as Jackfruit is one of my favorite vegetables that can be found in Indian markets around July-August for a short period. The fibrous fruit with its shredded meaty texture makes for an apt substitute for non-vegetarians and you would be surprised to know kathal is often used for mock meat dishes in South East Asian countries. While this beautiful vegetable/fruit is quite delicious, there is only one negative factor to it; it's hard skin and an itchy sticky liquid that oozes out of it that makes cutting jackfruit a messy and difficult task. However, having said so, I'll share a foolproof trick to ease out the cutting process; just grease your hands and knife with generous quantity of mustard oil while skinning and cutting this fruit. Applying mustard oil will ensure you don't face any itchiness, thus, making the whole process a piece of cake. These days, already skinned and chopped jackfruit pieces are also available in the vegetable markets.
