#GA4#week15#amaranth#Rajgira Halwa

#CHEFFEBAmaranth is a plant with Red flower. whose leaves and seeds both are used in cooking. Used as a grain also known by the name Rajgira (royal grain) or Ramdana (grain given by Lord Rama) Highly nutritious, used as a flour to make ladoos, paranthas or Halwa.Made Amaranth Halwa first by homemade ghee, then homemade Amaranth Flour from the whole Amaranth Seeds. Then blended to form flour.Lastly, garnished with Sunflower or Pumpkin seeds and chopped cranberries. It is just wow with its nutty aroma, color, texture and most importantly the AUTHENTIC TASTE.It is optional to make flour at home. You can also use store bought readymade flour but whole Amaranth seeds can be used in various ways or while making flour from the whole Amaranth seeds, the quantity gets increased upon popping them. Just half small bowl or cup of whole Amaranth seeds is sufficient to make Halwa.Also, it is optional to make ghee at home. Store bought ghee can be used. I preferred homemade as I use mostly homemade in my cooking. And when I thought to make Amaranth Halwa, I was out of stock with ghee which is why I first made ghee and then Halwa.Popped seeds of Amaranth can be stored to use later in various dishes but while making flour out of it, it's better to make fresh because it may get damp with moistured content which is not preferably required to make flour.Used Jaggery to substitute sugar to have more healthier version.

Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth.They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. The raw banana is a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and contains a starch that may help control blood sugar, manage weight and lower blood cholesterol levels.

A Traditional Christmas Fruit Cake is tasty and moist and is baked in most homes and gifted to friends and family. This recipe for Christmas fruitcake is different and is healthy!! It is a revamped version of the traditional fruitcake. Dried apricots, figs, dates, sultanas, raisins, and a whole lot of nuts gives the cake a moist and sublime flavor. The cake is particularly healthy because as opposed to the traditional cake, it is prepared with whole wheat, jowar/sorghum flour, amaranth flour and almond meal. The recipe also contains the goodness of cane sugar which replaces any refined sugars.This moist Christmas Cake is a delight of divine spices, fruit, nuts and booze, it hits all the right notes.

This recipe for Amaranth laddoo is nothing like the traditional one. It has only 3 main ingredients: amaranth, dates and almonds! It is soft and sticky with a little bit of bite from the amaranth and crunch from the almonds. I have used just dates for sweetening so it’s refined sugar free!It’s quick and easy to make and is a perfect dessert option especially for those who cannot consume much sugar, diabetics etc.Include them in your or your children’s lunch box.http://www.theculinarytrail.com/vegan-amaranth-dates-and-almond-laddoo-recipe
