Eggless Whole Wheat Banana Bread

whole wheat banana Bread
Whenever I bake a cake, I prefer a low calorie fruit cake. Today's Eggless Banana Bread is made of whole wheat flour and sour cream. Whole grain provides more fiber and sour cream has lesser calories as compared to butter. And the cake is equally moist and delicious.

Ingredients:
Bananas - 3 big
Whole Wheat Flour/Atta - 2 cups
Light Brown Sugar - 1 cup
Almonds/Badam - 1/4 cup
Sour Cream - 1/2 cup
Milk - 1/2 cup
Olive Oil - 1/4 cup
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 3/4 tsp
Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp
Ground Cinnamon/Dalchini Powder - 1/4 tsp
Ground Nutmeg/Jaiphal Powder - 1/8 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp

How to bake Whole Wheat Banana Bread:
  • In a small bowl, add the dry ingredients - whole wheat flour, roughly chopped almonds, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.
  • Use any other nuts of your choice. Add some raisins/dry grapes too if you like.
  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with oil or cooking spray.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add ripe bananas. Mash them well. Add sour cream, milk, olive oil (or any other oil) and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients well. Add the dry ingredients and mix all the ingredients to form a lumpy batter. Do not overmix.
Eggless Banana Cake
  • Pour this cake batter in the greased pan and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Prick a toothpick in the center and see if it comes out clean. If not, bake the cake for few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Before slicing, let the cake cool on a cooling rack for another 10 minutes or more.
Enjoy low calorie Whole Wheat Banana Cake as an anytime snack.

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....
