Bhutta (Corn on the Cob)

Bhutta is an Indian way of eating Corn/Maize/Makai on the Cob.  I find hot Bhutta perfect for rainy season and is ready within 5 minutes.

Ingredients:
Corn Cob - 2
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli Powder/Cayenne Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Lemon Slice

Method:
1. Roast the cob on the stove top on medium flame.  The pop sound indicates the corn kernels getting cooked.  Roast it till it gets slightly black on the outside and juicy on the inside.
2. Mix salt and chilli powder.  Dip the lemon slice in salt, chilli powder and apply it in the hot corn cob.

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.
