Power Wrap Chapathi with Soy Flakes

This one is my favorite break-fast dish, as i can prepare this within 15-20 minutes and a healthy one too. i prepare this roll frequently for morning break-fast, as my hubby can't say, "i dont have time". it just takes  minutes to push this into the mouth, between its also becomes a balanced one.

Ideal to pack these chapati rolls for lunch box, along with some fruits and a juice or butter milk.

Masoor Dal

Masoor Dal is another Dal variety, which gets cooked so fast and it tastes great when made as dal. I tried this Masoor dal, starting off with simple south indian dal recipe using tomatoes and green chillies. it can also be cooked adding garam masala to it. there is also a recipe for masoor dal briyani, which i got to try soon.

The colour of the dal is in peech or pink and orange mixed colour. but when cooked it just looked like our normal split yellow moong dal.

Ingredients:

 Tomato                                                                                           1

 Green Chilli's                                                                    2 slitted vertically

 Mustard                                                                                      1/2 spoon

 Masoor Dal                                         1/4 cup(pressure cooked and mashed)

 Garlic                                                                                  2 cloves(sliced)

 Curry leaves                                                                                       8

 Corriander leaves                                                                         to garnish

 Lemon juice                                                                                 2 spoons

 Turmeric powder                                                                             a pinch


Method:

Cook the Masoor dal upto 4 whistles in the pressure cooker. then in a kadai, leave two spoons of oil, when it gets heated, add mustard seeds, when it crack's, add the Garlic slices,curry leaves and the slitted green chilli's, saute them and add the tomato slices and fry them. Now add salt, turmeric powder, a pinch and mix. add the mashed masoor dal to it and add enough water for the consistency you may require. garnish it with corriander leaves. Add the lemon juice before serving.

It goes well with chapathi and Hot Rice.

 

It tasted pretty perfect. My hubby liked it a lot..


 can anyone tell me...is this healthy taking on daily basis? and why are we not using this masoor dal so much like our other tuvar and moong dal?

Learnt Lesson's on Kidney Stone's

Iam Hitting 100 post's with this one. Just wanted to make this post a most satisfying one for me and also a usefull one for my reader's and friends.

Learnt Lesson's - Kidney Stones

I was Shocked when i heared that i have traces of stone like formations in my kidney, exactly a year back. When i analysed what could be the reason, i justified its presence just because of my simple mistakes..

I dont want to give you all a thesis report on kidney stones...there are many..Check here and here for a complete go through regarding it. But i want to give some caution bell's and some remedy tips.

Regarding the Caution Bell's:

1. Are You Pregnant?---Drink adequate water
2. Are You Breast Feeding?---Drink adequate water
3. Are You not Physically active?---Have a small walk for 15-30 minutes a day
4. Are You Drinking More Milk?---Dont Drink more(above 4 glasses) of milk a day
5. Are You Getting de-hydrated by Sweating a lot without any physical movements?---Drink more water and seek doctor advise
6. Are You eating too many of tomatoes with seeds in it? In india..we say it as nattu thakkali, which has too many seeds in it.---Remove the seeds before cooking them.
7. Are you taking more protein rich food?---see to that you dont take too much of protein other than your diet needs.

Adequate Water quantity is 3 litres per day. or 8-12 glasses of water.

What all to take care if kidney stones got formed?

1. Take care not to drink more milk
2. Drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water
3. Dont take nuts, chocolates, Tomatoes(you can de-seed them and consume)
4. Dont Take Bitter Gourd
5. Dont Take Drumstick Leaves
6. Try Drinking Tender Coocnut water
7. Try Taking Greens like Sirukkerai and mulai keerai

Remedy Suggestion:

First seek medical advise, and finish a treatment course. if still you feel the pain follow the below steps..

1-day remedy:

Drink 2 glasses of tender coconut water in the morning on your empty stomach. and later after meals take an anti-biotic tablet.

(or)

Start taking plantain stem and banana flower atleast 4 days a week.plantain stem can be prepared as juice and it can be had in the empty stomach.

have a medical consultation for sure to identify what type of stone have formed and regarding the size of the stone. my remedy tips work only when the stone is of small size.

Vazha Poo/Banana Flower Usili

Ingredients:

• Banana Flower-1(Chopped finely)
• Chana dal- 1/4 cup
• Tuvar Dal-1/4 cup
• Dry Red chilli-3
• Asafoetida powder-1/4 tsp
• Turmeric Powder-1/4 tsp

• Mustard-1/4 tsp

In a kadai, heat the oil, add mustard,urad dal, curry leaves and asafoetida powder. Now add the grinded coarse paste to the kadai. let the flame be simmer and keep stirring untill the dals form like small ball's. now add the banana flower, mix well and remove from the stove. serve hot with rice. goes well with rasam.

a very unusual bowl..but usual bowl for the florets

I prepared this usili without chopping it finely...it turned out so tasty. you could feel slight bitterness in this flower, but when it is done with dal..it get's levelled.

Banana flower/vazha poo vada is my another favourite snack. check it from dhivya's cuisine.

Plantain stem(Vazhathandu) Kootu with Butter Milk

Plantain stem kootu with butter milk:

Required Items:

• Vazhathandu/plantain stem-1(of 25 cm height)
• Chana dal-1/4 cup..soaked for 30 minutes in warm water.
  
• Green chilli-1(slitted)
• Dry Red chilli-2
• Curry leaves-8
• Mustard-1/2 spoon
• Butter milk-1 cup or Curd -6 spoons
• Turmeric powder-a pinch

Method:

Remove the outer skin of the plantain stem and cut into small sized cube's.

Add 3 spoons of curd to half a glass of water, stir well, add salt to it and soak the plantain stem in the butter milk solution for 15 minutes in a bowl.

Now add the drained chana dal, turmeric powder and a slitted green chilli to the plantain stem and pressure cook it.(4 whistles will do).

Now season it with mustard and curry leaves. add the remaining curd and salt. mix well and serve it with hot Rice.

along with bitter gourd chips....
Plantain stem/vazhathandu is very good for health as it dissloves kidney stones, it should be cooked once a month atleast.

Soon i will post the recipe for banana flower/vazha poo usili.
