Steamed Moong Kabab

 

Hi all..Iftar is an enjoyable moment for any muslim who is fasting..Sipping the first drop of water or drink after fasting for the whole day, the adorable feel is hardddd to describe in words..It is usually better to take light food which is convenient for the stomach after fasting..However, almost all of us used to fill our dining spreads with fried and baked food for iftar..Many of us forget the fact that, we can even make steamed starters/snacks which r tasty as well..I feel this recipe can motivate u to try more steamed recipes for the upcoming iftar feasts..

Jackfruit Ragi Ilaiyappam(Ilai Adai)

Hi frnz..Today's recipe is a popular Kerala, Kanyakumari dish..It is Ilaiyappam..Ilaiyappam is my all tym favourite, n usually steamed with Cheelanthi leaves n hence the name, Appam made in Ilai(leaves)..We can make it with banana leaves too..Some call it as Ilai Adai..Though Ilai Adai is very famous all over Tamilnadu too, the one made with Jackfruit stuffing is popular only in Kerala n Kanyakumari..I have made a minor twist to the recipe by making it with Ragi flour instead of the rice flour(Idiyappam flour)..It was a hit today in my family n tasted great lyk the rice flour Ilaiyappam..Definitely try this n give me ur feedback frnz..Now, let's move on to the recipe..

Beetroot Jaggery Adai

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..

Barnyard Millet(Kuthiraivali) Idiyappam

Barnyard Millet Idiyappam..Idiyappam made with homemade barnyard millet(குதிரைவாலி) flour..Very tasty and healthy obviously because of the millets..You could feel only little changes in the taste when compared to the rice flour idiyappam..I made this with some leftover barnyard millets, which are getting expired soon..Saw this recipe from the handbook got along with the millets..Since then I wanted to try it, and finally did it today..Since I made this with leftover millets, I made the idiyapam in a very small quantity enough for jus a plate of serving..Anyways it was worth trying..

Caramelized Biscuit Pudding

Caramelized Biscuit Pudding..A variation of caramelized pudding, where I hav used some leftover biscuits too..I should say the taste was absolutely delicious to the core!! Puddings are gud options for those people with sweet tooth..We can eat them with less fear of getting tooth cavities, since these delicious varieties will jus melt into your mouth without any need to chew, at the same time fulfilling your sweet cravings..Especially the caramelised puddings are a favourite for almost everyone..The biscuits really add an extra taste to the pudding..

Wheat Flour Idli

Wheat Flour Idli..Yes, u heard it right..Idli made with wheat flour!! U might be very familiar with wheat rava idli, but many of u havent tried wheat flour idli I think..Even me too trying it for the first tym..The result was supersoft, spongy, fluffy, n of course tasty idlies. Even the dosa made with the same batter was tooo soft, and tastier than the usual instant wheat flour dosa..Certain rcps will giv u a big surprise n happiness when tried, n this one is among those..Definitely try this frnz..

Whole Wheat-Beet Egg Momos

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..

Sorghum Idli

Sorghum Idli..Idli made with Sorghum(cholam/chaara/jonna/)millet..Soft n fluffy idlies..Tastes great n very healthy one..Ofcourse the color may not be appealing, coz the sorghum millet gives a dull color to the idlis, but believe me it is yummy..I am making it for the 2nd time inspired by its taste..Must try one frnz..If your family members hate the color of the idlis, just close their eyes n make them eat..lol :)..But I m happy with my little one, coz she ate with her eyes open n told me, ''maa it is super''..what more do I want? :) 

Bread Kozhukattai

I usually prefer wheat bread for us than the maida bread..Bread is a superb food with which u can make magics..Y not to go in some desi style with this western food?..When I saw this rcp, I decided that I must make it, and I did..Soo yumm..A different variety of kozhukattai from the ones we usually make..Another kids favourite..Try this once n u will make it often..
