Procedure:

1. Roast the sliced almonds
2. Pre-cook the green beans either by steaming or microwaving.
3. Add the oil to the almonds
4. Add the poppy seeds
5. once poppy seeds turn brown add the chana and green beans
6. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, pepper
7. Cook on medium low for 10 mins or till beans are cooked.

Do not have a picture.

 

Thats an interesting recipie Bee Amma. I have sunflower and pumpkin seeds with me. I will surely try this out and let you know. I guess there is nothing much to go wrong in the form of over cooking...Thank you very much. Love to try some easy and healthy recipies.


I have tried extending my dosa batter lately with Oats and Wheat germ in it. I powder the oats and add that to the dosa batter and add some wheat germ too to the dosa batter. Of course will need some water to make it into a spreadable consistency on the dosa tava. It tastes good and with wheat germ, the dosas seems more crispy too. Its a healthy extension!!

 

Hey Shiva,

Firstly, Shiva congrats on all the weight u lost,..... was just going thru ur blog, u go girl!:thumbsup Hats off to you.. I am truly one of your biggest fans :bowdown

Ladies excellent post going on here simply loved it.... I happened to make a very healthy meal today, was actually very confused and dint know what to make.. had a few baby carrots left out from the salad bag, one raddish, one tomato, 1/2 of a cabbage, a few chillies, and 2 onions at home!! (i desperately need to go vege shopping tomo!:hide so came up with something.... and it worked out quite good actually. I made Carrot Cabbage Onion Oil-less Paratha.

I know might sound a little weird but it turned out pretty good actually

Lemme share the recipe with u....
4-6 baby carrots grated
1/2 a Big cabbage grated
1 medium red onion finely chopped
3-4 green chillies (as per taste)finely chopped
1 tsp of ginger garlic paste
Salt as per taste
one pinch Red chilli powder (as per taste)
one pinch Garam Masala powder
one pinch Haldi
one pinch Jeera Powder
one pinch coriander powder
Wheat flour 1 - 2 cups (depends on how vegetably u want the paratha)
2-3 drops of oil to grease ur palm while making the atta

Just mix all the ingredients in a big vessel and knead the atta like normal for chappathis, pls put very little or no water as the vegetables will leave out water of its own....
mix to make a soft atta just right to roll out (again depends on how comfortable based on your preference, I like it a little hard, its easier to roll out :bonk)
Once ready, simply roll out like normally chaptis not too think, nor too thin (like phulkas). You can fry it if you like, (hubby and I are on the task of lossing weight so... no oil for us). Eat hot with a cold cup of yougurt mixed with a pinch of salt and red chillies powder and if you like a spicy Andra mango pickle.

2-3 of these rotis should be perfect along with a cup full of yogurt... so veges go in, yogurt goes in :thumbsup

Tastes great and looks yummy.....

My next trial for this will be a Palak carrot cabbage onion paratha lets hope it works out

Hope u'll like the recipe....
God Bless and have a wonderful day ladies....:cheers
