Sabudana Kichadi

Hi Friends ...

        Sago or sabudana looks like pearls (don't think of using it as jewellery LOL),which is cooked in many forms like sabudana kheer, sabudana kichadi, sabudana vada etc...

Sabudana kichadi is very famous in Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is also called as VRAT KA KHANA.....In Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur, it is available as street food. 

Sabudana is rich in carbohydrate but by adding peanuts, it will be rich in proteins too....So Sabudana kichadi is a complete energy giving food for adults and kids.

Ingredients:

1 cup sabudana (sago)

1 boiled and chopped potato

1/2 cup  roasted peanuts (roughly powdered) 

salt to taste

1/4 tsp pepper powder

1 tsp oil

For tadka:

1 tsp cumin seeds

A pinch of hing

1-2 green chilies (finely chopped)

Few fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)

5-6 fresh curry leaves

Method:

1. Wash the sabudana till water looks clear, drain off the excess water and   keep it for 6-8 hrs or over night.
2. Next morning, you will see sabudana is translucent and double the size. Separate the sabudana, in case lumps are there.
3. Heat oil in a non-stick, add cumin seeds and hing. Add the chopped green chilies and curry leaves and saute for a 3-4 secs.
4. Now add potato, sabudana, peanuts and dry masalas. Mix well.
5. Cook the kichadi on low flame for 8-10 mins. Keep stirring in between.
6. Remove from fire.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

Egg Sandwich

Hi Friends ...
       Egg has high amount of protein which is very good for growing kids. Eggs are not only rich in protein but also rich in Vitamin A, B2, iron and calcium. Egg can be given in many forms like omelette, hard boiled, scrambled eggs, half fried etc etc...
I made egg sandwich today ...Tried for the first  time, so sharing the recipe with you. Try it and get a big smile on your kid's face :-)

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bread (I prefer brown bread)
• 1 hard boiled egg (finely chopped)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 green chilly (finely chopped)
• Few fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 3 tbsp fat free mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
• Salt acc.to taste
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl except bread slices and ketchup. Mix it well and keep the filling aside.
2. Apply ketchup on each slice and spread the filling on the slice.
3. Place the another slice on the filling.
4. Now grill the sandwich in the toaster for 5-7 mins or till slices become golden brown in colour.
5. Serve hot with a glass of a milk.

Note: If you don't want to use eggs, you can add grated carrots, cabbage or paneer (cottage cheese) in the same way.
