I don't know abt kollu(But have recipes for kollu papuppu & rasam)...But I've read in some naturopathy/ayurveda books that pappaya is good for weight reduction... Also honey taken in the morning(empty stomach) is said to be good for weight reduction... But after doing these, if one doesn't have control on their diet & exercise, I don't think it'll help much...Quote:

Trans fats:
These r fats from hydrogenated veg oil, margarine, veg shortening etc. These fats are said to increase LDL & reduce HDL. LDL are Low Density Lipoproteins & HDL are High Density Lipoproteins. HDL are said to be good cholesterol & LDL is bad cholesterol.
The shocking news that I read in an article Y'day is that almost all the commercially baked food stuffs, fries, fast foods, toppings & dips, frozen food & even noodles & cereals(except a few) contain trans fats. These fats are used to increase the taste & life of the food stuff. Since it is found it almost all commercially available stuff, it's better to avoid(as much as possible) the stuffs mentioned above. But I agree that it's impossible to avoid such stuffs completely. But when U buy such stuffs, read the lable. The nutrition content in the lable will be listed in descending order. So lower down the list such trans fats are found, the better it is. It means less of it is used.
A few healthy recipes...
Sprout moong kuzhambu... It's the same as we make usual curries... heat oil in a pan...add some dry chillies, baby onions(abt 8-10 cut into 2 pieces),channa dhal(optional) & fry a bit...then add cori seeds(3 sps),cumin seeds(1 -1 1/2 spns),a fewpepper corns(4-5) & fry until u get a nice aroma...then add a few tomato pieces(1/2 tomato or to taste) & soya flakes(or soya chunks cooked & grind a bit to make flakes) or coconut & fry for a min...grind this along with some curry leaves,tamarind,turmeric & salt... Add this to the sprouts(100 gms before sprouting) & cook until done...add water,salt & chilli powder as req... season with mustard seeds in 1/2 tsp coconut oil & garnish with cori leaves... The sprouts shouldn't become soft...meaning cook only until the sprouts are 1/2 to 3/4 done...depends on how U would like to have it...
U can make this curry thick or thin as u wish by varying the quantity of channa dhal & coconut/soya... This goes very well with dosa/idly & rice...
Measurement of ingrediens are to ur taste...can make it spicier by varying the measure of cori seeds,cumin & chillies...
Sprout & carrot salad...This is just a variation of Karnataka's famous salad 'Kosambari'...
Sprout green moong dhal- 1 handful or less
Carrots-2 medium sized(shredded)
Salad cucumber-1/2(shredded)
Lemon-to taste
Coriander leaves-a few(chopped)
Green chillies(chopped) or chilli powder-to taste
Salt- to taste
Mix all the above & serve it a bit cool... Sprouts can be added to taste... Depends on how much of the 'thuvarpu' taste u can stand...
Variation: Can add yellow moong dhal (soaked overnight) instead of sprouts...
Here's one of my fav sandwich recipe...I got the recipe from karnataka recipe thread,guess!!!...
Carrot Sandwich:
Onion-1/2(chopped)
Tomato-1/4th to 1/2(seeds removed & chopped)
carrot-1 big(grated)
Chilli powder & salt-as req
garam masala-1/4 tsp
Oil
Heat a tsp of oil...add the onions & saute till tansculent. Add the tomato & salt ,cook for a min...add the chilli powder & garam masala & cook for a few secs until U get a good aroma of the spices...Take care not to burn the spices... Add carrots & cook for a few more mins...Do not add water... Stuff this in between 2 bread slices & toast using a sandwich toaster...This tastes very good if wholemeal/softmeal bread is used in place of white bread.
