Ragi Oats Egg less Pancake
Here is another recipe with my favorite combination of Ragi and Oats, my earlier post with these ingredients is Porridge and Idli. My little one likes pancakes , french toast and chapathi in her lunch box. So I always try different versions of pancakes and Rotis for her. No pre-prep is required for these Pancakes, so you can make them for breakfast on a lazy weekend or for kids lunch box . I tried egg less this time adding ground flax seeds mixed with warm water. For extra protein you can use egg white/whole egg.
Ragi Oats Idli
Ragi Oats idlys with roasted red pepper chutney was our lunch today. I wanted to have idli with out rice, so tried ragi along with oats and it was just perfect. There are so many instant recipes with ragi oats in various blogs but I wanted to include urad for the protien content. Because of urad dal these idlies need to ferment like traditional ones. Since I live in cold climate, batter didn’t ferment properly, so I added Eno fruit salt just before steaming. As I wanted they turned out soft and pluffy and with the combination of roasted red pepper chutney they were awesome.
Chocolate Peda
Happy Diwali readers. I am back with festive recipes for Diwali after a long break. The very first microwave sweet dish I learnt when I came to US is milk peda using condensed milk and milk powder which is pretty simple with 3 main ingredients. Recently when I made milk peda for Shirdi Sai Baba pooja, I got an idea that with the same recipe I can make Chocolate Peda just by adding chocolate powder and make kids crave for this dessert. So I tried this recipe for my Diwali pot luck which is an instant hit. Its pretty simple and quick sweet dish which can be made for poojas, parties, festivals or baby showers.
Beetroot Pulihora ~ Beetroot Lime Rice
Pulihora (sour rice) made with either lime juice or tamarind juice is commonly made rice dish for festivals.For the first day of Sankranthi festival (Bhogi), I made Pulihora with lime and beetroot which is huge hit in my home.
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.
