Homemade Banana Chips

Banana Chips
Most of us like to have crunchy munchy snacks while sipping our evening tea.  What could be faster than fried chips?  Within 15 minutes raw banana chips are ready.

Ingredients:
Raw Banana - 1
Black Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chilli Powder - 1/8 tsp
Salt - about 1/4 tsp
Peanut Oil

Method:
Peel the raw banana skin and cut it into thin round slices.  I used a potato slicer.  In a mixing bowl, add the raw banana slices, salt, black pepper powder, cayenne pepper and mix/toss well.  Add turmeric as well if you like.
Heat oil in a kadhai/wok and deep fry these slices in hot oil.  Remove the slices when colour changes and the buzz sound while frying stops.  Binge on crisp Banana Chips anytime you like.

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.
