Homemade Whole Wheat Pancakes

Hello everyone! Hope all is well in your world! Today's post is my kiddo's favorite American breakfast - Pancakes! Who doesn't like Pancakes? Right! If you wish to make Pancakes at home, do give it a try. You won't miss the restaurant pancakes.

Once a week I make Whole Wheat Pancakes for our whole family. Serve these healthier Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Maple Syrup and you'll love them.

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Pancake Waffle Mix - 1 cup

Egg - 1

Whole Milk/ Full Fat Milk - 3/4 cup

Chocolate Chips - 1/3 cup

Cooking Spray or Oil or Butter

How to make healthy Pancakes:

In a small bowl, beat an egg. Add milk and mix well again.
In another big bowl, add pancake mix. Slowly add the beaten egg and milk to the pancake mix. Stir the pancake batter well. Make sure there are no lumps.
Add chocolate chips and your pancake batter is ready.
Heat a cast iron pan and apply butter or oil. I sprayed a cooking spray. Pour a ladle full of batter on the pan. Cook both sides of the pancake on medium heat to avoid burning.

Serve Homemade Whole Wheat Pancakes with Maple Syrup and/or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

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.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi. I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
