Doodhi/Lauki/sorekayi/bottle gourd – Saagu
About:
I steam cooked the chopped zucchini with French beans until tender and crunchy – mashed a few cooked veggies and smothered it in a delicious curry sauce made with spices.
This Doodhi/bottle gourd sagu/curry recipe was one meal I was pretty excited about. I wanted something hot and spicy for lunch and all I had in the fridge, vegetable wise, was some limpy looking Bottle gourd.
This sauce is legendary, by the way – I used it for this incredible set dosa recipe a few weeks ago. It was just a fabulous/delicious combo, it can work as a base for any curry you can think of.

Mushroom fried rice (Indo-chinese)
About:
My family loves indo-chinese dishes so am here again with another dish. Here in this recipe I used main ingredient as mushrooms as a best suppliment of Vitamin D during winter. Soaking chillies and vinegar helps to impart flavours to the dish. This can be great for lunch or packed lunches.
Health Benefits:
Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins. They are also the only vegan, non-fortified dietary source of vitamin D. Mushrooms also provide several minerals that may be difficult to obtain in the diet, such as selenium, potassium, copper, iron, and phosphorus.
Serves-2
Preparation time-10 minutes
Cooking time-15 minutes (excluding the cooking time of rice)
