Corn Palak


Matar Ki Roti

To prepare this amazing matar ki roti, boil green peas. Then finely chop the peas, along with 2 green chillies. Now add in this salt, dhania powder, some chat masala and mix it well.

Use this mixture to fill in a small ball of dough as we do for preparing paranthas. The mixture should be of the same size as the dough ball. Roll it slowly, making sure that the mixture doesn't leak out. Now cook it over a tawa :-) It can be served with curd and pickle. 

Beetroot carrot Rice

Soak rice with about 2.5 times water(this may vary depending on the type of rice) for about 30 mins.

Put oil in a pan, once its moderately hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chillies and saute it.

Now add dhania powder and some pav bhaji masala. Add finely chopped beetroot and carrot in this and saute it for about 3 mins. Closed the pan and let it cook for 2 mins. Now add rice along with water and mix it well. Add salt to taste. let it come to boil. Once it boils, slow down the stove and close it. let it cook for about 10-15 mins. Keep stirring in between to make sure that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Once the rice is all cooked and ready, turn down the stove and add a good amount of lemon.

If you plan to keep it for later use, don't add lemon right away. Squeeze the lemon before consuming.

Amazing Beetroot Peanut Salad

Do try this interesting salad I made today. It tasted really amazing.

In a bowl, take some orange juice and juice of one lemon, add salt, cumin powder, chat masala and pepper in this while whisking. Now add extra virgin olive oil while whisking it. In this dressing, add shredded/finely chopped beetroot, carrot, onions, cilantro and crushed peanuts. Mix it well. Your salad is ready to eat. Feel the flavors burst in your mouth. You may chill this for an hour or so for better taste.
