BM #138 Week 3 Day 2 - 

To conclude the A-Z Dosa Series here is the dosa with Z - Zucchini Dosa.

I have used the Kodo Millet Dosa Batter here but any dosa batter or Idli batter will work. I have tried idli batter as well previously.

Ingredients - 

Idli/Dosa Batter 2 cups
Zucchini finely grated 1 cup
Carrot finely grated 1/4 cup
Salt, Crushed green chilies, Cumin seeds as needed


Method Of Preparation -

In a mixing bowl, add the batter, grated zucchini, grated carrot, salt, crushed green chilies, and cumin seeds. Add water and mix well to get a pancake consistency.

On a heated tava(griddle), pour a ladleful of batter and spread it thin in a circular motion. Spray some oil to the edges of the dosa. 

Gently flip the dosa and cook for a few seconds so the underside is just about cooked.

Continue with the rest of the batter. Refrigerate any left over batter.

Serve with any choice of chutney.

BM 138 Week 3 Day 1 - 

This week I shall conclude the A-Z Dosa Series for this year. So to include the dosa starting with Y, I have chosen to use the letter yellow for this unique chana dal dosa where I have replaced rice with millet.

I have used Kodo Millet here but any other millet can be easily substituted. Rice was used in the original recipe.

Recipe Inspiration here
Ingredients - 

Chana Dal 1 cup
Kodo Millet 1/2 - 3/4 cup
Urad Dal 1/2 cup
Fenugreek Seeds 1 tsp
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Salt as needed
Oil to shallow fry the Dosas


Method Of Preparation -

Wash and soak Chana dal, U
rad Dal and fenugreek seeds in a pot with about 6 cups of water for 5-6 hours.

In another pot, wash and soak the millet for 5-6 hours.

Drain the dals and blend into a fine paste. Add the drained millet and blend until grainy. Add as little water as needed.

Add salt and set aside in a warm place for fermentation. Depending on the temperature of the location, fermentation might take anywhere between 5-15 hours. It usually takes about 8-10 hours for me.

After the batter is fermented, adjust the consistency of the dosa. It should be slightly runny. Mix in the turmeric and whisk well. 

On a heated tava(griddle), pour a ladleful of batter and spread it thin in a circular motion. Spray some oil to the edges of the dosa. 

Gently flip the dosa and cook for a few seconds so the underside is just about cooked.

Continue with the rest of the batter. Refrigerate any left over batter.

Serve with any choice of chutney.

BM #138 Week 2 Day 3 - 

Aloo Palak is a more of an everyday kind of a sabji at home and also very popular with the kids.

I tend to add more spinach than potatoes but that is a personal preference. So feel free to adjust the quantity of greens.

Ingredients - 

Spinach chopped 2 cups
Potatoes peeled and diced 2 medium sized
Onions finely chopped 1/2 cup
Salt, Turmeric, Red Chili Powder, Coriander Powder as needed
Ginger-Garlic-Green Chili Paste 1-2 tsp (or to taste)
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Cumin Seeds 1 tsp, Dry Red Chili 1)


Method Of Preparation -

In a heated heavy bottomed pan, add oil, cumin seeds and red chili. After the cumin seeds crackle, add the onions, ginger-garlic-green chili paste and sauté until the onions are translucent. 

Then add the diced potatoes and turmeric and sauté until the potatoes are cooked through. Add in the spinach, salt, coriander powder, red chili powder, mix well and cover the pan.

Let the spinach cook and the flavors blend in for about 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.

Serve it warm with Roti or Rice.

BM #138 Week 2 Day 2 - 

This week I shall highlight this unique salad which is very nutritious, filling and vibrant in color.

A few months back, my kids were after me to make this green salad and they showed me a vegan version. But I added some more ingredients to make it suitable to my palate.

Zucchini, finely chopped 1 cup
Cabbage, finely chopped 1 cup
Carrot peeled and finely chopped 1/2 cup
Salt, Pepper Powder and Red Pepper Flakes as needed

Roasted Peanuts handful
Paneer, grated 1/2 cup
Coconut Oil 1 Tbsp
Garlic 2-3 cloves

Method Of Preparation -

In a wide mixing bowl, add the chopped vegetables, sprinkle salt, pepper powder and red pepper flakes and mix well. Set aside.

In a high power blender jar add all the ingredients listed under 'For the Dressing ' and blend into a smooth paste adding as much water as needed.

Pour the dressing into the vegetable bowl and mix. Store the excess dressing in an air tight container in the refrigerator for the future.

BM #138 Week 2 Day 1 - 

This week I shall highlight some of my favorite recipes using Green Vegetables. The spotlight is on Chinta Chiguru (Tender tamarind leaves). This dal was a classic preparation in my maternal grandparent's place. The combination of chinta chiguru and raw mango is absolutely divine. 

Thinking about Tender tamarind leaves brings back so many childhood memories at my maternal grandparents place. Even as I was cooking the dal at home, my mind was far away - went back a few decades, to a different place and time surrounded with so many memories.

I was fortunate that my mom could pre treat these tender tamarind leaves for me when they were freshly available for them in their local market over the spring. I have since stored them in my freezer to extend their shelf life.

Recipe Source amma
Ingredients - 

*Tender Tamarind Leaves / Chinta Chiguru chopped 1 cup
Toor Dal (Kandi Pappu)  1 cup
Raw Mango peeled and diced 1/2 cup
Salt as per taste
Jaggery marble sized (Optional)
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Green Chillies 3-4 (or as per taste)
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1 tsp, Urad dal 1 tsp, Jeera (Cumin seeds) 1 tsp, Hing couple pinches, 1 dried red chilli, curry leaves)

*If you have access to fresh tender tamarind leaves, gently separate the tender leaves from the tougher ones, wash and chop them. But I got the dried, pre-treated with salt and turmeric version from my mom. I have been sparingly and fondly using them as needed. :)


Method Of Preparation -

Wash and boil Toor Dal either in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. Set aside.

Heat a sauce pan and add oil and rest of the seasoning ingredients. Wait until the mustard seeds splutter and the urad dal is brown. 

Add the raw mango bits, chopped green chilies, turmeric, salt, jaggery (if using) and about 1/2 cup of the pre-treated tender tamarind leaves.

Add about a cup of water, cover and let the vegetables cook through.

Let the dal simmer for couple of minutes and serve over hot rice and ghee.
