These days we have very busy and tight schedules, which makes it really difficult to invest a lot of time on cooking and preparing something that will be tasty and also healthy at the same time. Thus keeping these things in mind, I have figured out some tasty, yet healthy food preps which might not serve as a whole meal, but can be well categorized as healthy snacks.
Disclaimer: the names of the dishes might not be the authentic names, as I have modified them according to my taste and named them accordingly :)
I have options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so hope you enjoy reading these. Please do try these and let me know in the comment section below how was it for you :)
1. Egg Pan Cake
All you need is: Egg, Milk, Maida, Onions, Carrot, Capsicum.
Take like 150 gms of maida, add one whole egg to it and mix well. Mix the required amount of milk to the mixture to get a semi-liquid like consistency. To this mixture add finely chopped onions, carrot, and capsicum. You can also add chili/pepper, whichever is preferred according to your taste. And of course, don't forget to add salt to the mixture (according to your taste). Take a non-stick tawa and add just one teaspoon of oil, let it warm up. Then pour this semi-liquid mixture on the tawa (in a round fashion) and let it cook for some good 4-5minutes. Turn it on the other side and also let it cook for 3-4 minutes.
That's all, done! The egg pan cake is ready to be served with some ketchup or green chutney!
2. Modified uttapam
We all know that the authentic uttapam requires a lot of effort of soaking rice and daal in the required amount, making a paste of it, so on and so forth! So here I am gonna give you a quick and very easy way to make uttapam, which tastes almost similar to the authentic one.
All you need is: Suji/Rawa, Sour curd, Tomatoes, Onions, Carrot, Capsicum(it is optional)
Take like 150 gms of suji/rawa, add 200-250 gms of curd to it so as to form a semi-liquid paste. Add salt according to your taste to the mixture. Keep the chopped onions, tomato, carrot, capsicum and chilies aside. Take a non-stick tawa and add just one teaspoon of oil, let it warm up. Then pour this semi-liquid mixture on the tawa (in a round fashion) and put the required quantity of these chopped ingredients on top of the mix in tawa. Cook for like 7-8 minutes (only in one side).
