Bulgar Wheat Sweet Pongal ~ Goduma Rava Chakkara Pongali
When I considered Bulgar wheat as one of the options in 5 whole grains prasadam for Saddula Bathukamma, I immediately thought of doing sweet dish with it. But rather than making it regular Kesari with wheat rava, I wanted to use mung dal in this recipe similar to rice sweet pongal recipe. I was not sure about the outcome but when I tasted it, I decided to make this sweet pongal instead of rava kesari from now on. Adding Mung dal gave different flavor and taste and it was so Yummmm!!! It is FAT FREE as no ghee or oil are added in this recipe.
Barley Pongal ~ Barley Katte Pongali
When I was thinking of 5 whole grain prasadam , I remembered that I bought hulled barley recently. I made barley, sprouted moongdal soup couple of times, it goes well with beans/ dal’s in soups. From there I got the idea of semi solid savory pongal with mung dal.
After making this dish, I searched in web for Indian barley recipes and got few more interesting ideas . I will try those ideas and hopefully will come out with some interesting and healthy recipes with this high fiber ingredient.
Multi Grain Roti ~ Multi Grain Flat Bread
Pulka ( whole wheat tortillas with out oil) is everyday meal in my home and that is why I wanted to make them more nutritious by adding different flours. You don’t need to add exact measurement or type of flour mentioned below. Be creative to add any flour you have in your pantry. But adding wheat flour makes life easy in rolling Roti if you don’t have much skill in making Jowar or Bajra or Ragi Roti alone
Broccoli Split Moong dal Stri fry
Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C, dietary fiber and split moong beans are rich in dietary fiber with no cholesterol.When both nutritious ingredients are combined with Indian spices, the result is a delicious healthy food.
Gram flour Pancake – Egg less
I like to keep track of carbs, protein and vegetable servings in every family meal, besides making it colorful and interesting for my 2-year-old. When those servings comes up with these savory pancakes which every family member enjoys I tap myself as a good homemaker.
We can call this pancake as vegetable omelette as well, since we are using gram flour and soy flour which are rich in protein and are mixed with vegetables. The choice of vegetables can vary as per your taste. We can add cabbage/carrot/french beans/mushroom/spring onion as per your liking which I have not used this time.
