Back after a break from Thanksgiving! Whenever I travel it is harder to eat healthy – so I was thinking of something easy that I can put together and prepare in a microwave. This recipe is perfect for that. All you need is a few basic ingredients and breakfast will be ready in minutes. This is the answer to busy weekday no-time-for-breakfast issue 🙂 🙂
Normally I try out Spinach and split yellow moong together in the form of a simple dal. I wanted to change the routine a bit this time. So instead of going with split moong, I used whole moong. Also instead of a onion-garlic-tomato style of dal, I used a coconut-tamarind spice mixture that is commonly used in South Indian cooking. I ended up with this absolutely delicious side dish!
Traditionally Bhaat refers to a spiced rice dish – the exact spices and preparation varies in different parts of India. I love preparing different kinds of “Bhaat”. Just by playing around with the veggies and the spices you end up with a whole new dish. I also swap the rice out for different grains! So I end up with a variety of “Bhaats” that I never get bored of 🙂
It has been a while since I tried something for the blog as I was busy with work. I hadn’t even had time to do my usual grocery shopping! I finally made some time last weekend to get into the kitchen and try a couple of different dishes. You can expect to see some new recipes soon!
I know what you might be thinking, curry leaf gravy – won’t that be bitter? Let’s just say that the combination of black pepper, cumin, coconut and yogurt along with the curry leaves, just balances out all the flavors. My favorite part of this recipe, is that there is less than 5 minutes of cooking involved!
