Purple Yam Fries easy and healthy cooking

कंदाच्या चमचमीत काचर्र्या

मी हे जांभळ्या रंगाचे कंद पहिल्यांदा आमच्या घरी पहिले ते उन्दिओ बनवताना. आमच्याकडे १०० माणसांची उन्दिओचि order होती. माझ्या आईने पहिल्यांदाच हा पदार्थ बनवण्याचे शिवधनुष्य पेलले होते. कुठलीही गडबड नको म्हणून तिने आमच्या बिल्डीन्गमधील ४-५ शेजारी गुजराती महिलांना मदतीला बोलावले होते. त्या सगळ्यांनी येताक्षणीच पहिला प्रश्न विचारला की कंद कुठे आहे? आईने हा कंद सोडून बाकी सगळ्या भाज्या आणल्या होत्या.

मी बाजारातून हे कंद शोधून आणले आणि त्या दिवशी पासून ह्या भाजीबद्दल कुतूहल निर्माण झाले. ही कंद खूप पौष्टिकअसतात. ह्यामध्ये खनिजे, जीवनसत्वे मोठ्या प्रमाणात आढळतात. ह्या कंदामध्ये मेदाचे प्रमाण अगदी अल्प असते.

हिवाळ्यात ही मोठ्या प्रमाणात बाजारात दिसतात, इतरवेळी मात्र खूप शोधावी लागतात. कंदाची साले काढल्यावर ती थोडी चिकट असतात, तेव्हा सोलून झाल्यावर कोमट पाण्यात मीठ विरघळून थोडा वेळ बुडवून ठेवावीत. यामुळे त्यांचा चिकटपणा निघून जातो.

ही खूप सोपी रेसिपी आहे. मी ह्या कांदांच्या फोडींना सर्वं साहित्य लावून फ्रीज मध्ये ठेवते. २-३ दिवस ह्या फोडी चांगल्या राहतात. जेंव्हा पाहिजे असतील तेंव्हा हव्या तेवढ्या फोडी बेकिंग tray मध्ये लावून अवन मध्ये भाजून घेते. झटपट fries तयार!

Raw Banana Kebab | Plantain Tikki

Jain raw banana tikki

 

Raw Banana (Plantain) Tikki Recipe

 

Nowadays I see plenty of raw bananas in the market. You usually make either banana chips or make some veg preparation with raw bananas. There are no popular Raw Banana recipes that I know of.When I was on the quest of preparing a grain-free breakfast menu, I thought of making these kebabs. Yes, they are grain free, vegan and yet tasty.

I didn’t even use potato, garlic and onion. Hence it can also be had as a pure Jain snack. These banana kebabs are a healthy snack to have whenever you are observing a fast. I have it with tartar dip and chaat green chutney. For a vegan option, tartar dip can be avoided.

 

raw banana tikki recipe

 

Whoever loves chaat, will definitely like the flavor of these cutlets. Ohh…cutlets, tikki or kebab, whatever you may call them.I make all preparations the night before and pat these kebabs into shape and refrigerate them. Next morning, within 10-12 minutes I shallow fry them and they are ready to serve.

You can make a large batch and refrigerate them on Friday so that you don’t have to get up early on weekends to make some yummy breakfast. Some days you can serve them plain…other days make some ragda patties or tikki chat with them.

Raw banana is a good option for diabetic people. Since Raw Bananas contain a lot of nutrients and have a high GI index. Now let’s get to the step by step recipe of making raw banana kebabs.

Sevaiyan Upma

Just in case you didn’t know it, I am always on the hunt for healthy and diabetic friendly breakfast recipes. When my sister got married, she told me that her mother-in-law makes a tasty vermicelli upma for breakfast. She knew that I’d be very eager to try this recipe so she disclosed the recipe and even gave me a secret tip.

 

I have tried this recipe 2-3 times before but have ended up with mushy and overcooked semiya.

 

When I went grocery shopping this time, I bought a packet of roasted semiya made from whole wheat flour. I made it for breakfast today and it turned out to a

quick and very filling breakfast option.

Diabetic people will like this tasty and healthy breakfast option. So will kids and adults, but adults might ask for more/larger servings.

 

So what’s the secret tip to make this non sticky, non soggy vermicelli upma!

The tip is the use of boiling hot water while making this recipe.
