Carrot dosa/Crepes
About:
Dosa is a pancake/crepes like dish made by blending rice, split gram dal but can be personalised as per the taste and preference. I have made these dosas by blending red rice, split black gram dal, barley, flatten rice and carrots.
Health benefits:
Adding carrots makes it more nutritious and tasty. Red rice is similar to brown rice and rich in fiber, barley and wheat combination helps to control glycaemic index.
This can be enjoyed as a healthy option for breakfast and can be treated as a nutritious dish for kids as well

Soya bean methi pulao is healthy, nutritious, simple tasty recipe. This brown rice is a rich source of protein and fiber.
Health Benefits:
Methi OR Fenugreek leaves: They are hardly known when we consider it as a herb instead of a spice. It is basically a kind of green leafy vegetables unless you dry them for storage (kasuri methi). So they will give you all the goodness associated with green vegetables. The fresh leaves of the Methi plant have a slightly bitter under taste and can be cooked just like we cook spinach. It is a very good source of iron; it helps to control the hormonal level of insulin in the blood.
Soybean: It is hailed as the most protective bean. Soy contains 40 percent protein. It has the highest protein content amongst plant products. “Soy protein” refers to the protein found in soybeans. As animal protein contains all the essential amino acids, lacking in pulse protein, soy is often used to replace the animal proteins in an individual’s diet. Soybean is the only vegetable food that contains all eight essential amino acids.
