Mixed Millets Thaalipeeth

Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. Millets are highly nutritious and are easy to digest due to their non glutinous and non acid forming nature. In India, millets have always been used traditionally in daily cooking. Each region have their own specific dishes using millets, then be it sweet or savoury.
In Maharashtra, there is a special and delicious breakfast dish, called thaalipeeth. The recipe for thaalipeeth might differ a bit in each community, but basically it is an amalgamation of healthy flours kneaded with onions and spices to create a delicious savoury flatbread!
In this recipe, I have used a mix of some healthy millet flours and traditional spices to make a nutritious thalipeeth. Again as it is shallow fried and smeared with some homemade butter, overall dish remains high on the health quotient! For some more variations, even chopped fenugreek or spinach leaves can be added to this thaalipeeth, though I preferred to stick to the traditional recipe!

Ragi Mudde with brown rice and moolangi sambar Ragi Mudde with brown rice and moolangi sambar
My simple rustic lunch today... Ragi and brown rice mudde with moolangi sambar 😄😄 #onmyplateRagi mudde/ finger Millet flour balls are a staple diet of kannadigas.. it's commonly known as farmer's food, as ragi keeps the stomach full for longer without giving a heavy and lethargic feeling.. it cools your body by bringing down the body heat and is a super nutritious Millet! Needless to say it is a healthy flour, rich sauce of calcium, protein and iron.. It is usually had with a watery broth made out of greens mostly.. called bas-saaru..or massoppu saaru which is basically the broth got from cooking the greens and lentils. Today I paired it with my all time favourite moolangi sambar (radish curry). I have said it before also, I love this vegetable! I feel it's very underrated!The twist in the mudde today is, I've added brown rice.. just as a trial.. Mudde is usually done purely out of ragi flour.. you need a good practice to get the proportions and handling right when doing this.. as it can end up becoming one hard lump or a watery mess!! Believe me, I've been there, done that and thrown it away too 😝. So, just to make it easier to handle, I added some rice and it turned out yum!Topped it with ghee and poured hot sambar.. my lunch is done right! 😄#myfirstrecipeSoumya Pai

Kombdi Sukka (Dry Chicken Masala) Kombdi Sukka (Dry Chicken Masala)
#reststyleKombadi Sukka Masala is basically a dry chicken gravy from Maharashtra where some authentic, traditional spices are used in it’s preparation alongwith coconuts. This dish tastes absolutely delicious and different from the regular chicken curry. Traditionally it is relished with vade, a type of fried flatbread similar to puri but quite different from it in texture as well as taste. This is a dish found generally in restaurants serving Malvani food in Maharashtra!The Malvan region and Kolhapur in Maharashtra are famous for some of their masalas (spice powders) such as the Malvani Masala and the Kolhapuri Kanda Lasun Masala. When combined together in coconut based gravies, they impart a delicious flavour to any dish, though in some gravies they have to be used individually. These masalas are available in various stores in Maharashtra and online too and the recipes for the same too are available on the net. Pooja M. Pandit -

Ragi chocolate milkshake || Fingermillet chocolate smoothie recipe Ragi chocolate milkshake || Fingermillet chocolate smoothie recipe
This is one drink which i made recently and i am in love with it. This is great for breakfast during hot summer days, since having hot ragi malt is impossible these days. I made this chocolate version for me and my lil one, a sathumaavu version for hubby. He loved it so much. You will never find ragi added in this drink unless mentioned. The ragi just act as a thickening agent and gives a nice creamy texture to the smoothie. SaranyaSenthil -

Paneer Steak With Burnt Garlic Herbed Rice Paneer Steak With Burnt Garlic Herbed Rice
#reststylePaneer Steak With Burnt Garlic Herbed Rice is basically a restaurant style dish. Nowadays, we can see a new revolution in the menus of many new age restaurants. Quite a lot of new dishes can be seen on their menus.One such dish is steak, then be it chicken or cottage cheese. Either grilled veggies are served by the side or at times even some buttered herbed rice is served alongside! The dish I have presented here is on the same lines, where I have added a delicious sauce made with roasted red bell peppers and cashewnuts. The sauce is extremely flavourful and ups the taste level of the entire dish!I have added here as much veggies as I can, as it increases the health quotient of the dish! And the main thing over here is that, these dishes are sold at such high prices in restaurants, but preparing this dish at home has costed me almost less than half the cost I would be paying for four! All this inspite of the cost of these ingredients being on the higher side! So go ahead and surely give this dish a try at least once, and I assure you that you won’t be dissapointed!A small tip, the marinade prepared here is so delicious in itself, that it can be used to make grill sandwiches and can be used with fish or chicken too to make non vegetarian steaks!
