Who says only Maggie can bring the taste of different states? 🙈😜😛 Here’s my take at Poha which as I’m sure many of you already know, is a popular breakfast in the central part of India (i.e. majorly Madhya Pradesh state in India).

As in if you visit any city in Madhya Pradesh (MP), let’s say Bhopal, Indore or Ujjain, stalls of Poha-Jalebi in the morning time is a very common view. It’s what you can call a staple breakfast of theirs hands-down (like 2-3 times a week for sure).

But when this UP (short for Uttar Pradesh state) gal felt like this strong urge to eat something healthy yet with a lot of UP flavors in it (which essentially means spicy & some potatoes 😋), this is as good as it gets haha!

Ok, so nothing fancy here, this breakfast recipe had a very basic prep and is very light too. Adding veggies of your choice, you can always enhance its nutritional quotient and make it more healthy. That’s always an option based on what veggies you got in your fridge and what flavors you want to enjoy 🙂

For mine, I wanted to have it loaded with as many veggies as I could so here goes the snapshot recipe for making Poha in UP style:

Put 2 tbsp of mustard oil to heat, to it few mustard seeds until they crackle, 1 chopped onion +1 chili🌶 finely diced and sauteed for a min then put in some chopped carrot, capsicum to the mix (also, some peas after sometime). I wanted to have potatoes so I also added 1 boiled 🥔 to it too. You can always deep fry the potato and then add but given the choice between the two, I would say make a healthier one. Next, add in the basic spices ie. 1/4 tbsp of red chili powder & turmeric powder and as always, salt to taste.

Traditionally, a little sugar is added to the mix too but since I wanted peas & they already have a little sweetness to them, so I didn’t put in sugar (+ this makes it more healthy). And finally, add the soaked and rinsed Poha & voila!

A little tweak that I made was that I replaced the crackling fried peanuts (that’s like a part of any basic poha recipe) with a little sauteed peas because I really enjoy the sweet gentleness of peas more than the crunch of the 🥜.

And that’s it! Until next, Tada🙋🏻‍♀️

Moonglet/ veg omelet, my latest try for healthy breakfast/ snacks recipes. And what an amazing spin off on the good, old classic omelet (the veg version 🙈😁) though equally yum and so simple🤤

A rather simple preparation. So here goes the recipe if making for one person i.e. for one Moonglet:

1) wash and soak 1 cup moong daal (yellow split gram) for a half-hour

2) grind it in the mixer to make a thick paste of it

3) mix 2 tbsp of rice flour in it+1/2 tbsp of turmeric powder & beat all of it well for 2 mins

4) next add finely chopped onions, chili, tomato and capsicum and half tbsp of cumin seeds and again mix it well

5) now just put Tava (griddle) on the burner, set at low flame, and spread 1 tbsp of oil on it

6) add 1/2 tbsp to the mix we’ve already prepared and mildly mix (it will all become fluffy then, thus the fluffy omelety texture🙈)

7) just pour it on the Tava and spread it in a circular shape.. sprinkle some chopped cilantro or coriander over and turn. cook the other side too until golden brown (be careful, it gets cooked fast)

8) now slice it into roughly 4 pieces and put a piece of salted butter in the middle (totally optional though😛) and feast on it!

Num-num, I can almost taste it in my mouth as I’m typing this🤤👅 guess I know what I’m gonna be having for breakfast tom😜

So, that said, I’m sure you must be tempted to try it out for yourself but before you do that just brace yourself to be showered with tons of compliment and recipe requests haha😅
