Baked – Yellow moong dal dahi/yogurt Vada
About:
Traditionally dahi vadas are deep fried dumplings soaked in yogurt but for the healthier option choose baking , this can be served as a snack or chaat.
These are baked lentil dumplings dipped in yogurt and topped with spices. To make it low in calorie I have baked vadas instead of deep fry; Also used yellow moong dal instead of urad dal, which is packed with calcium and proteins. (Though I bake many dishes but to bake vadas the confidence came only after checking post from Vidya @ Traditionally Modern Food).
This appetizer can be served with dates -tamarind chutney or mint chutney.

Couscous salad
About:
Couscous salad with veggies, chickpeas, mint and olive oil dressing is fabulous for a packed lunch or light supper. I spiced it with green crushed green chillies but any spices and herbs can be included as per the taste and preference.
Couscous is small pasta made of semolina, a form of wheat. It can be eaten as a side dish, salad and you can use it in place of rice or quinoa. Including couscous provides essential nutrients and help to provide a good source of lean, vegetarian protein.
