One of the most flavourful, delicious and nutritious greens are the onion stalks. They are so versatile that they can fit into any Savoury recipe. In Maharashtra, the month of Margashirsha has special significance for onion stalk recipe. Bhagwan Khandoba / Malhari Martanda who is a reincarnation of Shiva, visiting earth to bless all, is worshipped for Shadratri or six days and on Sixth day, the food offering ( naivedya) is made which has: Onion flower stalks Zunka ( subji with besan) , Bharit ( roasted eggplant dip) and Rodga ( small wheat flour flatbread). It tastes ultimate and mouthwatering!😋😋
So this recipe has a heritage recipe significance and it is one of my favourite recipes in winter.

#GoldenApron#Posa_19#8_7_2019#InEnglish Now-a-days most people are health conscious. Many opt for Oatmeal and milk as main item in their breakfast. Sometimes we feel bored having the same food again and again. In this recipe the Oatmeal has been changed to a delicious , nutritional and healthy snacks and I think everyone would love this formula. I have taken here Oats with Spinach from my garden to make delicious Tikkis. Oats as we know is loaded with dietary fiber that's good for our health. On the other hand Spinach (Palak)has vitamins and micro nutrients, essential for our body. I have skipped boiled Potato and taken Semolina for for binding oats tikkis. The outcome is amazing , beautiful and yummy.
