Absolutely delicious and so low in calories! I have this pretty much every day for a filling yet light lunch. This recipe can easily be changed around to suit your taste, add different veggies, meat, potatoes, etc. Just be sure to adjust nutritional information.
This is a must have for all our(Marathi) religious ceremonies.We use fresh shelled Green Peas for this.Frozen Green Peas can be used--these should not be the sweet variety.The same recipe can be used for any fresh seeds like Green Beans as well.In that case you would need to use a half teaspoon of Organic Brown Cane Sugar as well.
I make this fish curry with either Tomatoes or Mangosteen Shells(Kokum) as I avoid using Tamarind.If desired feel free to use Tamarind instead. The Tomato Puree gives a richer red colour to the Curry.This is a thicker preparation than any Thai Curry though the taste is somewhat the same----that's why my husband loves Thai food!!
This preparation is made with Dried Shrimps.It is a spicy Vegetable mix very popular for either Lunch or Dinner.
This is a very simple dish to make.It is one of the everyday dishes in our house and the recipe is our old family traditional one.This can be made a part of our Lunch or Dinner menu and the Coconut is optional for those who do not want it.
The Ashaadhi or Devashayani Ekadashi is the beginning of the Chatur Maas or the next 4 months according to the Lunar Cycle which begins with the New Moon and ends with the Moonless Night.The months are divided into 2 parts---the Waxing Fortnight or Shukla Paksha and the Waning Fortnight or the Krishna Paksha.The major Fasts and festivals fall mostly during this period.
Ekadashi is the eleventh day of the each Fortnight and the this day of both fortnights is dedicated to Lord Vishnu the Sustainer.This Ashadhi Ekadashi is a very holy day and a huge pilgrimage takes place at Pandharpur the home town of Lord Vitthala as He is known in Maharashtra. People walk to Pandharpur from far and wide and these are called Vaarkaris---people who regularly repeat this Pilgrimage every year on foot.
This recipe is great for a layered Rice dish and makes a great one dish meal for either Lunch or Dinner with a Salad or a Raita.I personally prefer a Raita as it is the traditional accompaniment with a Biryani.
This is my interpretation of the eponymous salad at the deli in Whole Foods. Not really sure about the servings...
Here is my favorite Tabouli recipe-when I have it, I also add a little garden cress (about 2 Tbls) for an extra kick!
