Making a healthy and delicious meal is always a challenge!!
Recently, we discovered that we are sensitive to gluten and reducing/avoiding is helping. But the problem is we are not used of eating rice for dinner and now if we stop eating wheat I cannot cook dinner..:-(
It took a while to get used to this change, but I am glad that we are able to eat more salads for dinner. This change in routine also motivated me to create various versions(Indian) of salad.
I have fenugreek fresh from my garden and I usually make dal or a curry and today I wanted to try something new that is quick, healthy and can be added to my dinner menu..;-)
Here I am with an absolutely delicious dish that has amazing flavors and aroma. It can be eaten as salad or used as stuffing for some quick veggie wraps. If you find it dry you can as well add some plain yogurt and it tastes absolutely great 🙂
Well, Let’s not waste anymore time and get started 🙂
What you need :
How you make :
Step 1: In a pan add 1-1.5 tsp of oil and let it heat on medium heat for few minutes.Add cumin and sesame seeds.
Step 2: Once they are brown add Asofetida, chopped ginger & Chillies and let them sauté for few seconds.
Ste p 3: Add fresh/thawed coconut and carrots and sauté for 2 minutes
Step 4: Once the rawness is gone then add chopped fenugreek and carrot leaves. To it add little salt and put the lid and let it cook for 3 minutes.
Step 5: Once the greens are tender then add boiled split chickpea and Moong dal (Split Mung Bean) and cover it for 3 more minutes. Add salt if required.
And there you have a delicious meal to dig in 😉
