PALAK NEER DOSA II NEER DOSA II SPINACH NEER DOSA

Neer dosa literally meaning water dosa in Kannada - Tulu language is a crêpe prepared from  rice batter.  Neer dosa is a delicacy from Tulu Nadu  region and part of Udupi - Mangalorean cuisine of Karnataka.  

It is a preparation of two basic ingredients viz. Rice and Salt but some people add bit of grated coconut also. There are many variations of preparing this dosa.  Today I tried it with Palak.  You can masala Neer Dosa, Carrot Neer dosa etc. 

There is no requirement for fermentation of the rice in order to prepare Neer dosa. The rice needs to be soaked for at least 2 hours. After a quick wash and a drain the rice needs to be ground by adding water in order to get very fine batter. Additional amount of water can be added based on the thickness of the batter and then salt is added for taste. Finally the batter is used to prepare the dosa. 

The Basic is the Normal Neerdosa preparation only but only palak is added to this for change in flavour.

HEALTHY EGG VEGGIE OMLETTE

While making Breakfast the first question comes to our mind is what to make today.  Today, I came up with an interesting and Healthy recipe for the Children as well as elders.

Who will not like to eat eggs?  Along with it some veggies? Is n't it interesting?

Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white, which also includes vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat than the yolk. Eggs are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.

So why are you wasting time.  Let us start cooking.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Bitter gourd has got many health benefits.  My husband likes to have the Raita made out of it. Just chop them very finely and add curd and bit salt. That is it.  He  loves to eat this with Chapati or Rice.

This dish today I made as we used to make Vendakka Puli i.e. Lady’s finger in tamarind sauce.  But Green Chilli is used to make the Vendakka Puli.  Here I have used Red Chilli Powder and Coriander Powder.  I have taken ¼ th of the Bittergourd but in the ingredients, I have given proper quantity.

Though often used as a spice in cooking, Chaat Masala is mostly used as a garnish on salads, Chaats (a generic name for hot, tangy, sweet nibbles), drinks like Indian lemonade, curries, daals, butter milk and Dahi vada etc. Sometimes, even I use it for sandwiches too.

MINT RASAM l PUDINA RASAM

Mint / Pudina leaves can help in digestion, treats asthma, common cold, aids weight loss and so on.  The Chutney made out of this is awesome.  This can be used in Biriyani, Butter milk,  Raita, Juice etc.  A dash of mint really changes the flavour of the dish you are making. 

Since it has the cooling effect to the body, during summer, do not hesitate to use this wonderful herb. Menthol, which is the active oil in the mint, has antiseptic and antibacterial properties that help relieve indigestion and also soothe an upset stomach.   Mint can work wonders for almost all your digestive issues. It is a good relaxant and relieves congestion. However, make sure you don't overdo your mint dosage, else it may irritate your air passages. Mint is known to clear congestion of the nose, throat, bronchi, and lungs. In addition to the respiratory channels, mint's anti-inflammatory properties also relieve the irritation caused by chronic coughing. 

Today, I made the Mint Rasam with Ginger and Garlic as I had a digestive issue.  The Rasam was superb and I had only the Rasam and nothing else and was relieved of my issues after having it.
