Broccoli & Egg Whites Stir Fry December 7, 2010

Broccoli is a very nutritional vegetable. Until few years ago, I did not like the vegetable and seldom cooked it at home. Once I acquired it’s taste, I like it very much and don’t mind making it at home once in a while. I usually steam it or just saute it in some oil with salt, pepper and some garlic. Lately, I have been making quick stir fry with basic Indian spices and some tomato, to make broccoli  more  flavorful. To make this stir fry even more healthier, I add some boiled egg whites to the fry. Egg whites are mostly for U, who loves eggs & meats, and is trying to eat healthy. Broccoli and egg whites stir fry is certainly a one healthy side dish to go with plain rice!

Fresh Garbanzo Beans Pulao with Tomato Yogurt Pachadi November 12, 2010

Last week, I visited my cousin for Diwali and she made green chana eka fresh green garbanzo beans pulao.  That made me nostalgic!  Back home, every winter, these green chana, also called hari boot or hari bhoot would make it to the dining table very often.  At times, it was our  breakfast or evening snack as sautéed chana and sometimes  as rice pulao for lunch.

Soya Nuggets Curry October 9, 2010

I am not a big fan of soya nuggets and these nuggets are strangers in my kitchen. However, I like soya granules and cook it once in a while. The reason I don’t particular like soya nuggets is, no matter how much spice I add to it, it always tastes bland and I also do not like the texture of nuggets. I have eaten soya nuggets at my relatives places and it tasted fine. I tried following their recipe but cooking good soya nuggets just wasn’t my cup of tea! I normally soak the nuggets in boiling water, squeeze out all the water from the nuggets and cook it along with a vegetable such as spinach or beans.  No matter how I cooked, it never appealed to my taste buds.

Instant Cream of Wheat with Nuts March 20, 2010

This morning I got up early and as it is weekend,  U woke up late.  We had an early dinner last night and my stomach was rumbling non stop.  I could not wait for U to wake up any long and made myself some nutty instant cream of wheat for breakfast.  Later, when U woke up I made him an omelet, toast and fried bacon strips.  I did not bother to take a picture of his breakfast, as it would not qualify for  JFI: Breakfast event.  I am sending my breakfast though.

Before I get to the recipe, it is beautiful Saturday out here and am heading out to do some window shopping or may be some shopping too, while U watches NCAA basketball at home!  It is a sunny morning and was 60 degrees around 11 am when I stepped out to pick up some stuff from the drug store around the corner!  I am going to enjoy this wonderful weather, staying out as long as I can!  How is the weather in you neck of the woods?
