Mixed Vegetable Kababs

Hello, I know its been a loooooooooooooong time I blogged a recipe. Got busy with the little one and the job. But passion of trying new recipes dragged me back to my blogging. So happy to be here. My son's school is going open in a month school and I am bookmarking dozens of new recipes to pack for lunch. Here are some of the ideas I took from various bloggers who have tons of ideas about vegetarian lunch ideas for kids from toddler age. I was so happy that I was able to try few of them and turned out really good (I had empty boxes in the sink to have 100% proof). One of the recipe that was instant hit was Mixed vegetable kababs. There are lot of versions of vegetable kababs. I took little from all the recipes and made my own with my own choice of vegetables. Ingredients: Spinach-1 full cup Totakura(Amarnath leaves)- 1/3 cup Menthi Kura(Methi)- 1/4 cup Potatoes-2 medium size boiled Onion- 1 small finely chopped Tomato-1 finely chopped Green Chillies- according to your taste( I took 1 as I was making for kids) Green beans- 1/2 cup Capcicum(you can take any color of your choice)-1/2 cup finely chopped Sweet corn-1/2 cup Kala Chana(optional)-1/3 cup boiled Cumin & Coriander powder-1 tsp Salt-per taste turmeric -1/2 tsp Corn flour/Maida- together 1 cup Bread Crumbs- 1/2 cup Oil- for shallow fry Method: 1. Take a heavy bottom pan and bring water to boil by adding very little salt to it. 2. Wash all the green leaf vegetables, take the stems off. 3. Turn off the boiling water and put all the green leaf vegetables for 1-2 minutes. 4. Drain the water and keep aside the vegetable to cool. 5. In the same add a tsp of oil and add all the other vegetables except onion. 6. Fry the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, turn off the flame and let them cool down with the green leaf vegetables. 7. Boil the potatoes, peel the skin off and mash the potatoes. 8. Add in all the vegetables along with onions,salt,turmeric,CC powder and mix them well. 9. Make a water consistency batter with corn flour and maida. 10. Make your desired shape with vegetable mixture in your palm dip it the corn flour, maida batter and immediately roll over in breadcrumbs. 11. Heat the pan and place all the Kababs coated with bread crumbs on the pan and put oil around them and fry for 3 minutes on each side or until you see the golden brown color. 12. Serve with ketchup or hot&sour chilli sauce. PS: Feedback from my kids is they tasted better when they are in room temperature than hot. In correct words from my darling son, " I could enjoy the taste of the kababs to the full when are not hot".

Oatmeal Dosa

Oats is surely a comfort and healthy food.It loweres cholestrol and its low glycemic index of the old fashion oats can turn into glucose slowly in your body. Though not great in its taste,with a little creativity it can surely be enjoyed a lot.
Last week I am out of dosa batter and I made this instant dosa.I took the recipe from lot of sites and added a few ingredients and took out some and made my version of this yummy,easy to make oatmeal dosa.It was a hit. I made a little batter as I was not sure whether my son and hubby will like it or not,but to my suprise i had to mix the batter again to satisfy their tummies.

I like to eat it as it is without any chutney,but tastes good with peanut or tomato chutney.

Ingredients:
Oatmeal: 1 cup
Upma ravva/suji:1/4 cup
Rice flour :1/4 cup
Yogurt :1/2cup
Water :as required to make into a pouring consistency
salt :to taste
chilli powder :as per taste.
cumin :1/2tsp





Method

* Mix all the ingredients and set aside for 1/2hr.Oats will become very soft.




* Heat the griddle and pour the batter and spread it slowly from inside to out,it will not be as big as normal dosa.Now put a tsp of oil around it.




* Dosa tastes great if its cooked on a medium-low heat.

* Once done on one side flip the dosa for other side to be done,approx for 1/2min.



*Serve dosa with your deisred chutney but believe me it tastes great just like that.
