Moong Dal Chaat

Moong Dal Chaat

Snack time usually becomes the junk eating time. I personally crave for some chaat, samosa, fried food along with my evening tea. Having said that it’s definitely not a good idea to eat all these due to the obvious health reasons. I recently experimented with Moong Dal to prepare a chaat version of it which turned out to be really good and tasty. The green or sprouted Moong Dal provides the required protein nutrient and at the same time, it’s delicious too. Give it a try to this Moong Dal chaat and let me know how was it.

Chinese Vermicelli Recipe- Vermicelli with a Twist

Desi- Chinese,  the Indianized version of Chinese cuisines is popular throughout India. This great fusion is accepted and relished by everyone. I am also fond of Chinese cuisines and prepare them quite often in my kitchen.

Chinese Vermicelli Recipe:

“Namkeen Sewaiyan” or “Vermicelli Upma or Pulav” is a popular evening snack or breakfast. I thought why stick to only noodles, so I gave the vermicelli recipe a twist from the regular onion-tomato version and created the Chinese version of vermicelli.

Chicken Seekh Kebab on Tawa/Pan

I am a big fan of Chicken kebabs, be it Chicken tikkas, Seekh kebabs or Galouti kebabs. I have made various versions of chicken tikkas at home but never tried seekh kebabs as they require grill/tandoor to make. When I came across the recipe of seekh kebab on tawa without an oven, which was very easy to make and the kebabs made very succulent and tasty, I immediately decided to give it a try. You can also try this recipe which requires and let me know how it turned out to be. It takes lesser time to make as no marinate is required, you just have to combine the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, onions and spices.

No Bake Homemade Oats/Granola Protein Bar without Honey

With people becoming more health conscious these days their focus has also shifted to Protein rich diet which is highly recommended for all the weight watchers who struggle to shed off some extra pounds. To capitalize this opportunity the market is flooded with protein bars these days. They are becoming popular because it’s very convenient to have them in your snack or breakfast and you don’t need to compromise on your protein nutrition. But, that’s also true that  these protein bars are priced very high. So, I thought why not make these bars at home and eat healthy everyday. There are two versions of these bars with protein supplement powder (easily available in market ) and without protein powder. Try out this recipe and let me know how it turned out to be. I have made it without honey as people say honey looses its nutritional properties on heating. This is the ‘No Bake’ version of the Granola Bars.
