Pizza, A favourite of almost everyone...An Italian delicacy and is made with different sauces and toppings. Normally pizza bases are made of maida / refined flour. But this one that I have made is one with a whole wheat base. The base recipe is adapted from one of my fav chefs legendary late Tarla Dalaji. I am an ardent follower of her website and love all her recipes. Hope you like this one too.
The sauce is my own creation. Hope you will all like it. Please do try and give your feedback.
Kurma/ Korma is one of the best accompaniments for chappathis, rotis, rice , idiyappam. appams or pooris. Every state has a different version of kurma/korma. My Dear friend, Chitra Kamath, whom we fondly call Chitrakka, an expert cook and who has always been motivating and encouraging us right from the onset of our blog, came up with this interesting recipe of veggie kurma. Easy to make and lighter than the normal ones. This one is mildly spiced and the coconut content is also lesser than normal. Packed with vitamins and minerals. A recipe worth a try. This one for you Chitrakka :)
Sooji/ Rava/Semolina Dhokla, very popular in Gujarati households, is one of the healthiest snack. Since its steamed, it is low in calories. Very filling and a complete meal. An excellent snack idea especially for school/office tiffins, weight watchers and diabetic patients. I surfed through many dhokla recipes, combined them with a few of my variations and came up with this final product. Hope you all like it!!
Sooji takes time to digest so you feel full for a longer time. good source of Vitamin E & B. it is a good source for gaining quick energy.
Undis or steamed rice balls are a Konkani GSB delicacy and is commonly made for breakfast. It is normally made with rice or rice rava and coconut. It is a steamed dish hence very healthy and less in calories. To cut the calorie content further we came up with this healthier version. This one is with oats, rice rava and zero coconut. Very easy and quick to make. My dear friend Prajna Pai Prabhu, a very talented cook who has the ability of giving creative and innovative twists to any recipe, is the one who came up with this idea. This quality of hers amazes me all the time. This one for your creativity Prajna :)
