I haven’t blogged in a long time! A lot has been happening in this time 🙂 Biggest one – I am back in a college dorm! So all of my cooking happens in the common kitchen. You can imagine being in school does make it a tiny bit complicated for me to cook/blog!
Vegetarian Recipes
Oats Bisibelebath (Savory Oats Lentil Porridge)
Bisibelebath is a spicy porridge made using rice and lentils. It is quite popular in my home state of Karnataka. In fact, almost every single restaurant has bisibelebath on the menu and that too for breakfast!
Hara Bhara Kabab with Raw Banana (Plantains)
For as long as I remember, if some restaurant happened to have hara bhara kabab on their menu, I would never miss ordering them. Somehow the color, crunch and taste of these kababs is unbeatable! I have another variant of this Hara Bhara Kabab already on the blog – Check it out!
In this recipe, I have introduced plantains into the recipe. Plantains act like good binding agents and wonderfully complement the other veggies here. I totally skipped the deep frying part and opted to just cook these on a skillet with a little oil. Trust me – these are still as crunchy and tasty as the original kababs. Don’t take my word for it – give this recipe a try! 20 min and you will have this all ready at the dinner table 🙂

Healthy Whole Wheat Eggless Carrot Pancakes
For at least the last 6 or 7 months, my Saturday breakfast has been pancakes! They are super easy to put together and really filling. Especially on weekends when breakfast is always on the verge of becoming brunch 😀 I have a pretty standard pancake recipe that I tweak to include different flavors. Check out these other healthy pancake recipes: Banana Pancakes and Mango Pancakes!

Bottle Gourd Multigrain Flatbread (Sorekayi/Lauki Rotti)
I have been on a break for a while – traveling for the holidays! Now I am slowly easing my way into my routine. You will start seeing more posts soon 🙂 I have always been fond of Akki Rotti – a crisp flatbread made with rice flour. Growing up, akki rotti was a staple breakfast at least once a week. Most commonly people add onions to akki rotti, but at home I prepare a wide variety of rottis with different vegetables. Some of my personal favorite veggies to add to akki rotti are – capsicum and peas, methi leaves, spring onion, grated carrot, grated radish, grated kohlrabi, … The combinations are endless! Recently, I moved away from making this flatbread with just rice flour. I generally prepare the dough with wheat or a combination of different whole grain flours.
