Tortilla Scoops Shev Puri
Regular readers might have noticed how I keep including local American vegetables, spices, cheese in our everyday Indian cooking... any ingredient which is readily available. You might have read my previous posts about Ricotta Cheese Mithai. Mexican Corn Tortilla Chips is also one of the ingredients I love. 
This time its a variation of Mumbai Street Food - Shev Puri, Dahi Puri a.k.a Dahi Papdi Chat. If you love desi chaat, you must give it a try. These crunchy tortilla chips add a nice corn twist to popular Indian street food.

How to make Shev Puri and Dahi Batata Puri with Tortilla Scoops:
  • Soak yellow peas in water for about 2 hours. Cook the soaked peas in about 3 cups water until soft. Add salt, turmeric and asafetida and bring it to a boil. You can skip this or instead of peas, you can use mung bean sprouts or moth bean (matki or motu) sprouts as well.
  • Finely chop onions. Peel the potato skin and dice it into small pieces. Discard the tomato seeds and finely chop it.  Finely chop coriander leaves.
  • You can add finely chopped raw mango, pomegranate arils as well.

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.
