thanks dev.

Mushroom Fry:

1 packet of sippi kaalan or button mushroom-cut into medium sized pieces. I prefer sippi kaalan for this preparation.

Heat a tsp oil. Add the mushrooms, mix & cover with a lid. Cook in its own juices until almost done maybe around 5-7 mins. If it dries out quickly, just sprinkle lil water.

Now add in 1/2 tsp kitchen king masala, chilli pwd, salt. Mix well & cook for another min till all the water dries out.

Serve with chapathi or rice, variety rice,curd+ rice or eat it as such.

Thanks Selvi.

Do give them a try & let me know. I'll post some more recipes later. I have a small collection of famous restaurant style dishes made healthier.

This a snack famous in karnataka. Heathly & easy to prepare. Make sure to use only thin variety poha(nylon poha)

Poha Chivda:

Roast poha(thin variety)-1 cup & 1 tbsp peanuts in a pan(preferably non-stick) for 3-4 mins until the poha becomes crisp. Keep stirring once in a while to avoid the poha fromm burning.

U can alternately sundry the poha or microwave it.

Heat a tsp oil. Add in 1/4 tsp mustard seeds, 1 green chilli chopped, curry leaves & 2 tbsp roasted channa dhal(pottu kadalai or chutney kadalai).
Let the seeds crackle & chillies & curry leaves become crisp.
U can also add chopped garlic. In that case it should become crisp too.
Add asafoetida,turmeric. mix.
Add salt. mix.
Add the poha-peanut mixture, 1 tsp powdered sugar.
Mix well to combine.
Cool & store in airtight container.


Note:

U can add a pinch of amchur pwd ot citric acid crystals if u want a slight sourness.
U can also add raisins, cashews, sesame seeds, copra pieces etc

wow dev, nice snack receipe. i will try this evening only. i like to have this type of snack.
dev, cauliflower came out very nicely, i tasted. after i will have it with my meal.

thanks for giving us a wonderful receipe

dev,

please whenever u get time post the restaurant type of healthy dishes, i am the first one to try it out.

dev,

again mushroom is a favourite dish for us. tell me onething, is there is any alternative for kitchen king masala, if so plz let me know. i can try that too at the earliest.

Selvi, glad u liked the scrambled cauliflower...:)

You can use garamm masala instead of kitchen king masala... I find kitchen king to be much better in flavour... If u get a chance, try it with Everest KK masala...else garam masala should be fine...

ok done dev thanks a lot.

Broccoli:

Cut the broccoli into medium sized pieces. microwave with a tsp of water for 2-3 mins.Coat it with 2 tsp olive oil, salt & pepper.
Roast in a preheated oven for 15 mmins or so.

U can also add a few cloves of garlic cut into 2.

Sorry I forgot the temperature at which i used to cook. Long timme since i prepared this dish. Though we get broccoli here, I don't buy it coz i'm the only one at home who likes it.
