Aloo Methi Paratha

Aloo Methi is the most loved combo in my family.  This recipe is a mix of my previous posts - Aloo Paratha and Methi Thepla. 

Ingredients:
Methi/Fenugreek Leaves - a bunch
Green Chillies - 4
Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Besan/Gram Flour - about 1/4 cup
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/2 tsp
Sesame/Til - 1 tsp
Curd/Yogurt - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Potatoes - 2 big
Coriander/Cilantro leaves
Green Chillies - 5
Cumin/Jeera Seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida/Hing - 1/4 tsp
Butter or Oil
Salt

Method:
1. Mix chopped fenugreek leaves, crushed green chillies, wheat flour, gram flour, turmeric, sesame, salt, sugar and curd well in a mixing bowl.  
2. Knead all the above into a soft dough.  If required, add more wheat flour.  Use 1 tbsp oil and knead well to avoid stickiness of the dough.  Keep the dough covered for 20 - 30 minutes.
3. Boil and peel the potatoes.  Finely chop cilantro leaves and green chillies.
4. In a mixing bowl, add peeled potatoes, chopped cilantro, green chillies, asafoetida, cumin and salt.  Mash the potatoes and mix all the ingredients well.  Make balls of this potato stuffing.
5. Make balls of the Fenugreek dough and roll them big enough to hold the potato stuffing.  Place the potato stuffing and seal the edges completely.
7. Roll each one as thin as chapati or slightly thicker.
8. Roast both sides of the paratha using butter or oil till golden brown.
9. Serve hot parathas with chutney or curd.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
