Sabudana Khichdi (sago dish) – a perfect breakfast food

This breakfast recipe is one of the easiest meals which can be made in minutes if you have soaked sabudana (sago) with you.

Sabudana is a high energy but a low nutrient food so it has to be mixed

with some good nutrient vegetables or fruits to make a full meal.

Sabudana has to be soaked for 4-5 hours in a very little water after gently washing them.

Take 2 spoons of oil in a pan and add cumin seeds (zeera) to it. When they start cracking, add 1 chopped potato and let it turn very light golden. Now add 1 nicely chopped green chilli, one small chopped (toasted/grilled) capcicum , half finely chopped carrot and finally, the soaked and squeezed sabudana (sago). Add a little bit of salt and mix the ingredients on low heat for 2-3 minute only and then turn off the flame . Keep stirring the ingredients as sago has a tendency of getting sticked to each other. Add roasted peanuts, green coriander (hara dhaniya)or curry leaves, one spoon finely chopped onion, ½ spoon lemon juice and then mix the ingredients.

Serve this high energy khichdi in breakfast with hot ginger tea……enjoy

the winters………………: ) agoodstuff

Strawberry and sprouts salad

A nutritious salad diet in morning with some multigrain cereal keeps you

fit, fresh and healthy for the entire day. Making different salads

everyday is again a tedious mind exercise. Lets keep the life simple and

 make a fabulous salad in a few minutes.

 

Make some whole green gram (sabut moong dal) sprouts by hanging the

soaked dal in a water soaked muslin cloth for 24 hours(keep adding few

drops of water in every 5-6 hrs). The sprouts are the least expensive

superfoods which are full of protein and vitamin c ( anti oxitants).

Recipe: For 1 plate salad take ½ cup sprouts, 4  strawberries , 1 tomato

 chopped, ½  capsicum grilled on tawa with olive oil , 1/2 orange , ½ apple

sliced (grilled on tawa/griller with a few drops of olive oil and then add a

pinch of salt and  pepper to it. Orange slices make your salad more juicy

and tangy and little spices like pepper makes it ummmmmm…..munch on

 food.

Make it today and add a little of blue crumbled cheese or crumbled paneer

 to it and  eat it with a multigrain brown bread  toast ……….....……… : )agoodstuff
