Microwave fryums: healthy lunchbox snacks :)

Ingredients and recipe:
Preparation time : 3min

Fryums are available in the market. Be choosy to select the wheat fryums and avoid the colored ones.

To be avoided!!

I used the wheat fryums "Iyers" available in all supermarkets.

 Take about 25-30 fryums in a microwave compatible bowl. Sprinkle pinch of salt and red chilly powder.

Add a spoon full of olive oil and mix it well.

 Microwave on high for only a minute or less till it is completely done.

 Awesome healthy snacks for your kids in a minute is ready to go in the lunchbox. No fear of over heated or saturated oils in commercially available chips, or usage of non-licensed food colors, kids can really relish on this snack.

Cool right,

Bottle gourd / Calabash / long melon halwa - sweet tooth ;)

Bottle gourd, well known as calabash in west is a vegetable preferred in savories... The low calorie diet includes juices of the bottle gourd, but a suggestion to you is to grate it and use in a salad so that the rich fiber helps in further dissolution of fats in the body. With enormous health benefits, Chinese myth makes use of the dried fruit in the form of a container to store medicine as they believe the negative energy is warded off by it... Quite amazing, rich in folate and good for neuronal development of infants if consumed by a pregnant woman.

 

The culinary experiments with this vegetable has explored the delicious dessert in it... Be patient, slow cooking doubles the flavors of halwa... Enjoy the recipe :)

Healthy steamed starter- Kothambari Vadi/ Cilantro patties

Aromatic herbs are often plated ON or IN the recipes and I incorporate cilantro (Spanish translation) or coriander leaves in a traditional Maharastrian cuisine- Kothambari Vadi... Often called the Great Cilantro Divide in culinary circles, people generally either love cilantro or they hate it... Why does cilantro taste superb to some but soap-like to others? Genetics play a role in liking or disliking the herb...  People who love coriander leaves are apparently able to smell a compound in the fragrant herb that haters cannot... Plus, those repulsed by cilantro can keenly smell the unsaturated aldehydes that give it that soapy scent.
