Oven Roasted Parsnips

oven roasted parsnips
Parsnip is a root vegetable similar to carrot, but creamish white in colour.  You can follow the same recipe for potatoes, carrots, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower etc.  

Ingredients:
Parsnips - 6
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Italian Seasoning - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt

Method:
1. Peel the parsnip skin and dice it into long pieces, like fries.
2. In a mixing bowl, add black pepper powder, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt and oil.  Mix well.  Add the diced parsnips and toss to coat them well.  Add grated ginger and/or garlic if you like.  Dry ginger, garlic, onion powders can also be used. 
3. I used a dry organic Italian seasoning with marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, oregano and basil.  Sometimes I use Indian Garam Masala and Chat Masala as seasoning.
4. Preheat the oven at 375 deg. F for about 10 minutes.  Spread the parsnips on a baking dish.  Bake the parsnips for about 6 - 7 minutes.  Flip/Toss them and bake for another 8 minutes.  Cooking time may vary.  15 - 20 minutes would be enough to get the parsnips glazed.

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.
