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.

Chickpeas and Amla Usli/Salad
About:
If your chickpeas is cooked and ready – This is an easy, quick salad that you can throw together in about ten minutes. It’s great for a quick lunch, served with crackers or as a accompaniment for rice. Although the basic recipe below is quite tasty. And finally, this little dish makes a lovely snack and a fasting food.
Health benefits:
Chickpeas are indeed very good for you, not least because two to three tablespoons equate to one portion of the daily recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables. Tinned chickpeas are fine, but fresh boiled ones are slightly higher in vitamins and mineral. Both are equally good sources of fibre, including soluble fibre which can help to lower cholesterol.
