Ragi Idli

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.

Gram Flour Savoury Pancake

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.
