baked garlic potato fries
Every fried appetizer can be baked in an oven, reducing the calories and without compromising its taste. These crisp Garlic and Herb Potato wedges are a healthy variation of the most loved French Fries or Potato Fries.

Ingredients:
Potatoes - 4 medium
Oil preferably Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Vinegar - 1 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chili Flakes - 1/2 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1 tsp
Onion Powder - 1/2 tsp
Italian Herb Seasoning - 1 tsp
Orange Peel/Zest - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Salt

How to bake Crisp Potato Wedges:
  • In a big mixing bowl, add olive oil, vinegar, fresh ground black pepper, chilli flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, orange zest and dry Italian herb (rosemary, thyme, oregano, marjoram, savory, basil) seasoning. Mix all the ingredients well.  
  • Wash/scrub the potatoes well. Soaking potatoes in warm water for about 20 minutes will make cleaning the potatoes easier. Pat the potatoes dry.
  • Dice each potato lengthwise into half. Cut each half into 4 wedges.

  • Now add the diced potatoes to the mixing bowl. Toss them well so that the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil. No need to grease the tray. Spread the potatoes on the tray evenly.  Bake for about 15 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook for another 10 - 15 minutes. Using a fork check if the potatoes are cooked.

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....

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.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
