For Day 2, Week 1 of BM #46, here is one of my little one's favorite lunch box item. I have only recently started making this Protein rich powder when my aunt suggested it.
At home, I love this podi with rice and Rasam, while my little one loves it as is. My older one adds this podi to almost anything and everything she eats with rice :). So it is an absolute essential on my dining table.
Garnish with a few roasted cashews, add a few pieces of fruit and juice to make it a complete meal for the wee ones. I typically don't make this spicy so I can mix in relatively more podi and less ghee to bump up the protein content.
Ingredients -
Chickpeas 2 Tbsp
Red Lentils 2 Tbsp
Red Kidney Beans 2 Tbsp
Pinto Beans 2 Tbsp
Baby Lima Beans 2 Tbsp
Whole Urad Dal 2 Tbsp
Whole Mung Beans 2 Tbsp
Kala Chana 2 Tbsp
Peanuts 2 Tbsp
Sesame Seeds 2 Tbsp
Flax Seeds 2 Tbsp
Coconut Powder 2 Tbsp
Salt, Sugar and Red Chillies as needed
Feel free to add or remove, increase of decrease any of the legumes/nuts as per your preference. I just happened to have these legumes in my pantry.
Method Of Preparation -
Dry roast all the ingredients separately until they each give out a nice aroma.
Let them all cool and then Powder the mixture.
Store in an air tight container.
Mix it in steaming hot rice with a dollop of ghee.
