Weird Musings on food

 I thought that brown rice was best of the lot but if you compare it with lentils then they pack the power with proteins and similar carbs. But brown rice has a full feeling that lentils might not give you, if you are used to rice. White beans are like brown rice carbs.

Thawing Mushrooms

Healthy Eating

We recently had to shift to making rotis at home. We are enjoying it so far. Some hacks. We store some of the mixed dough in the fridge so that it is ready to roll out the next day for dinner. Kids learned how to do it. With the whole family involved it is bonding time as well as some learning in manufacturing for eg things like assembly. This week I was intent on making this  thai tofu with broccoli.  I even took out the frozen lemon grass which a neighor gave us. They had made tea with lemongrass. Due to timing, kids made zucchini, frying it enough still retaining the crunch. I had marinated the tofu in the morning. Gave them a quick saute in the afternoon. The soaked garbanzos over the weekend are having makeovers. Curry, Hummus, mixed along with aloo into the pani puri and some of that remaining mixtur will be come kebab and imagine that with hummus. Two way Garbanzos. Like not deep fried falafel with hummus. Some boiled black beans have been retained for a quick evening snack.  Me
