    Dear Shiva,

    I tried your Bulgar Upma but instead of Bulgar I used Dalia. It was good. I also tried your Nargisi Paneer Kofta. It was great .

    Thanks for the recipes. And also its so nice to have the recipe index so that everything is in one place...

    Hi All,

    Everyone knows that sprouts is very healthy but doesn't taste that good. So initially we eat for sometime and then give up on it.

    I have one variation for sprouts which you can have for breakfast and it tastes very nice. I dont have snaps for the recipe but I will post the recipe below.

    Ingredients ::

    Sprouts ( Green moong and chana)
    Brown bread ( preferably)
    green chutney ( made of mint, coriander leaves, curd, green chillies and few cumin seeds)
    2-3 drops of butter or oil.

    Grease the sandwich maker with 2-3 drops of oil.
    Apply green chutney on both the breads . Put sprouts in between the breads and keep in sandwich maker for about 3-4 minutes. I like my sandwich extra crisp so I keep it for 5 minutes. You can have it as you like.

    For your breakfast eat this sandwich with tomato sauce.It is fulfilling and it tastes yum.
    This is a very good way of involving sprouts in your daily diet.

    Hope you guys like it.

    Bottle Gourd Raita

    Bottle gourd is one vegetable that is packed with nutrients. During weight loss I try to create bulk with veggies in different form and one way is to add them to the curd.

    This is my favorite way to eat bottle gourd and its damn simple to make.

    Ingredients

    1. Bottle gourd peeled and cut into square pieces

    2. Curd

    3. Salt, green chilies, red pepper powder according to taste.

    Procedure

    1. Put bottle gourd in a pan and add enough water. Add little salt and cover. Boil till the pieces are soft and cooked.

    [​IMG]

    2. Let the bottle gourd cool. Do not throw the water.

    3. Take thick curd and whisk well and then add the bottle gourd along with the water.

    4. Mix well. Add salt, green chillies and red pepper powder.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    You can add other spices to make it more tasty. I like it in this simple form.

    The more filling your plate will look more satisfied you will be after eating your food.

    Do You Know - Bottle gourd or lauki is one of the earliest vegetables cultivated by man. Its very high in water content and hence low in calories.
    It is very effective in treating constipation and other digestive disorders and is recommended in Ayurveda to correct liver problems.
