Parsnip-dill leaves pakoras/pakodas – Baked


Pakoda final

About:

These are healthy snacks served as an appetizer. These are Indian style fritters which are generally made using chickpea flour, crunchy veggies of choice and spices mixed together and dalloped into hot oil-fried to perfection and served with  chutney on the side.

If you love pakoras and are watching your weight and health, and you are worried to eat them often just because they are deep fried. Here I tried baked version where you can enjoy them guilt-free. I used grated parsnip and onion for crunchy bites, dill leaves makes the pakoras flavoursome.

Baked pakoras are not only healthy, but also vegan and gluten-free. A perfect snack for your tea time or for parties of get togethers.

Serve this with home made tomato Chilli sauce (Recipe link)

Aubergine, Baby corn, potato in coriander gravy – Vegan


Babycorn and Aubergine gravy final

About:

This is a very simple but delicious rustic one pot dish. It is low in fat but high in flavour.

Hot, hot, hot! But wonderful. This will get your taste buds tingling. This is a wonderful dish full of fantastic spicy flavours and a kick of chilli. If you are a curry lover, then you will be coming back to this dish time and time again. Of course! If you don’t like it too spicy, then lessen the amount of chilli. It will still taste absolutely amazing.

I served this with Roasted vegetable Pulao (Recipe link)
