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. 

Meals are getting so rich with green veggies and options.

I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
