Crumbled paneer and baby corn masala
About:
Baby corn capsicum-paneer curry is a very easy recipe for roti or chapathi. Usually paneer cubes are used in curries/gravy but here I crumbled it as a variation. The thought of crumble came to me as my daughter doesn’t eat paneer and so was exploring ways to help her have it. When the dish was served she enjoyed it and didn’t notice that there was paneer.
I served this with Museli and whole wheat Lachha paratha (Recipe link)
Health Benefits:
Baby corn provides the valuable nutrition which lacks in most people’s diets. It is extremely low in fat as well, which can help with their weight loss goals. Baby corn is high in potassium and folic acid. It also has a better glycemic index than regular corn, making it a great substitute.
The health benefits of capsicum include relief from cancer, peptic ulcer, menopausal problems, low risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties and may also provide relief in pain related to arthritis. It also provides relief from fibromyalgia, skin aging and psoriasis.

Roasted bell pepper, onion and yellow moong dal
About:
Moong dal is a healthy Indian comfort dish prepared from yellow split lentil (green split gram without skin) and spices. It is rich in protein and a staple food in india and main source of protein for vegetarians. As a variation I used roasted onion and bell peppers in this dish. They can even be sauted and add in but roasting adds the crunchiness and flavour in dal.
In addition to their bright color, sweet taste and velvety texture, roasted peppers are a low-calorie addition to a dish that comes chock-full of nutritional benefits. Easily added to any number of dishes, Including pastas, soups and salads.
Bursting with lush, rich brown flavors, roasted onions are as versatile as baked potatoes but with fewer calories.
I served this with Jeera Bulgur rice (Recipe link). It goes well even with Parathas (link) or Roti (link)
