Toasted stuffed Mushroom
About:
Stuffed mushrooms make a delicious, bite-sized appetizer that’s low-calorie and low-fat. Eating a healthful appetizer before your meal helps fill you up so you eat less of the main course and — hopefully — fewer calories and fat. With most diets, you can eat as many as five stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer without going over your nutritional goals.
Health Benefits:
Mushrooms are low in calories and a valuable source of protein and folic acid. Folic acid protects the heart from the harmful action of an amino acid called homo cysteine, and is essential for the formation of new red blood cells

Almond and curry leaves chutney/Dip
About:
Curry leaves chutney/pesto is a healthy flavourful dip which can be an accompaniment. In south india curry leaves dip is a blend of curry leaves, coconut/onion with spices. I here used almonds as a variation and tried to make this as a pesto/dip. So this can be an accompaniment with south indian break fast like Idli / Dosa and can also be used as a spread on toast and sandwiches.
I served this with Tomato instant dosa (link).
Health Benefits:
Curry leaves are natural flavoring agents with a number of important health benefits, which makes your food both healthy and tasty along with pleasing aroma. They contain various antioxidant properties and have the ability to control diarrhea, gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion, excessive acid secretion, peptic ulcers, dysentery, diabetes and an unhealthy cholesterol balance. They are also believed to have cancer fighting properties and are known to help protect the liver.
