Hi frnz..Here I m with a very simple dish for tiffins/rice/variety rice..It's CHILLI BEETROOT CHANA..Using beetroot n black chana, I have made a handy side dish which u make in minutes..In fact I thought to make some another recipe today n have soaked black Chana for making Kadala curry for Palada (Click here for Palada recipe)..But I changed the plan last minute n made this recipe for dinner..That's the reason I have mentioned the Chana measurement in handful instead of cups since I didn't measure it at all while soaking..But the dish came out really very good n spicy..So must try this recipe frnz..
Beetroot Jaggery Adai..This is nothing but a simple steamed rice flour and jaggery adai, with the goodness of beetroot added to it, and of course with little additional ingredients like, dryfruit powder, milk etc..Beetroot is a must to be included veggie in our kid's diet..But who likes its peculiar smell? Especially most of the kids never like it..I will say this is an awesome way to feed beetroot to ur kids, next to my Pumpkin Beet Carrot Juice recipe..See also my Carrot Beet Egg Poriyal recipe, which is yet another yummy recipe..And this Adai recipe is a very good option for kids snack box..I made this long back but only now I m posting it..I packed this to my kid's snack box when I made it, n she finished it off making me happy :)..So, must try this mommies..Now, let's move on to the recipe..
Momos..A popular no-fry starter/snack, belonging to the dumplings category of recipes..Wikipedia says, it belongs to Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Darjeeling, and Sikkim..Usually it is made with all-purpose flour(maida)..But, we can do it with whole wheat flour as well..Ofcourse it will be slightly thicker and chewy than maida momos, but it tastes very good n healthy too..
While I was looking for some quick side dish for rice on one fine day, found the Beetroot-egg bhurji rcp from Palatesdesire blog..I took her idea of egg+beetroot, and made it as a poriyal in my own way..The taste was soo good, and was the best accompaniment for the day's lunch..
Veg Juices..I hav been following this method for my toddler till date since I find it the best way to make her eat these veggies..Though it can't be applied to all veggies, I m satisfied that it is good enough for a few veggies atleast..
