Spinach/palak Rava Idli (Green idli)
About:
It is a specality breakfast dish in Karnataka and popular in resturants across Bangalore. I tried to make it unique by adding spinach puree to give a greeny look.
The preparation does not require any soaking/fermenting and it is almost like instant idli just that it requires preparation and 10 minutes of resting time.
It is garnished with cashew nuts and grated carrot.

Ragi wheat mint chapathi/roti
About:
I love using whole wheat flour as a base for flatbreads and these beauties are just as tasty as they are fun to look at. They’re layered with a mint for the fresh flavour and adding millet flour adds additional fiber and nutrition. However this flatbread can also made with just whole wheat flour. Enjoy this with your favourite curry/sabzi/dips.
Health benefits:
Millet as its ability to protect your heart health, protect yourself from diabetes, improve your digestive system, lower your risk of cancer, detoxify the body, boost respiratory health, optimize your immune system, increase your energy levels, and improve your muscle and nerve health.
Mint has one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any food. Learning how to use fresh herbs and spices like mint when cooking can also help to cut down on sodium intake.
