Tindora Nutrela Sabzi | Tindora Soya Chunks Sabzi | Nutrela Sabzi with Tindora

Today's recipe is a very healthy and filling sabzi using tindora and nutrela(soya chunks). I got this recipe from my neighbor Aunt and slightly tweaked to my taste. Aunty makes such a healthy and interesting sabzi with unique combo of veggies. I loved this Nutrela and Tindora combo, this sabzi is full of protein, fiber and very filling side that pairs well with Phulka. One or two phulka is more than enough for a meal along with 1/2 cup of this sabzi. I did not use tomato in this recipe and instead used curd/yogurt. If you want to make it Vegan, you can use 1/4 cup of finely chopped tomato or even skip tomato and curd and make it plain sabzi like Aunt's recipe.

We mostly prefer rotis/Phulka for dinner and making a variety side dish everyday is a big task for me. We love sabzi or dry curry kind of side dish for Phulka along with mild dal or plain yogurt. Last week, made this simple and easy to make sabzi using Bhindi/Okra with Capsicum. Bhindi/Okra paired well with capsicum and the sabzi turned out so good, adding capsicum is optional but sure it gives lot of flavor and taste to the masala.

I like to make dry curry or sabzi with Cabbage for Phulka or sometimes to go with Dosa. Once my neighbor friend gave some rotis and sabzi for us when I was sick and under treatment. That sabzi which she gave was prepared using cabbage and potato combo which my kids loved it a lot. I was happy that my kids loved eating cabbage sabzi because of  some potatoes in it. So, why not to cook it my way for them and even we liked the combo.
This cabbage aloo sabzi or potato cabbage dry curry is a very simple and easy to make side dish for rotis/phulkas. It requires simple ingredients and less time to make this healthy and filling side dish. This sabzi is perfect for making wrap or roll for kids lunch box. You can also drizzle some green chutney or tomato ketchup or simply the sabzi alone for roti roll, my kids love to have wrap/roll kind of stuff for their lunch box.

Bhindi Do Pyaaz / Okra Onion Masala

Cooking With Onion is my theme For the 3rd week of BM n for day 1 am going to share Bhendi Do Pyaaz . When Valli announced this theme, very first recipe came to my mind was "do Pyaaz " which means cooking with double the addition of onions or more onions. Generally I love adding more onions to my cooking that too for dry curry, poriyals n stir fry too. This time tried Do Pyaaz with Bhendi/Okra. And it turned out so flavorful n delicious. Remember the tip given by my sister, adding yogurt/curd to any okra dry sauté gives nice taste n sliminess free okra fry/curry. So tried that too, over all Bhendi Do Pyaaz came out so well n tasted delicious. Sure a great combo with Rotis or even with Rice n Dal Tadka. Now to the recipe...

In this way Broccoli tasted so delicious and very aromatic. you can simply roll with chapathis or stuff your bread and pack it as your picnic/travel food. If cooked properly/without moisture this curry stays good for 2 days in room temperature. Now to the recipe...

       Again I am back with another interesting and flavor rich sabzi with Cauliflower/Gobi. This is a kind of dry sabzi with more onions and spices. I have a strong like/love to this combo - ginger,chilli,cilantro, the unique flavor n the strong spicy taste tempts me a lot....I have used this combination in many of my recipes like,Sweet corn Cilantro rice,Corn Adai,Gobi Paratha,Coconut chutney. I tried this recipe long back for Julie's EP series event ~ Cumin n cilantro but becoz of my health issue i couldn't able to send it in time. So Sorry dear!! I used blanched cauliflower florets for this sabzi and didin't cook it for long time, this way cauliflower stayed crunchy and absored all the spices and tasted so good. Do give it a try and let me know the result.

As this month (till this Monday) was Puratassi, we don't eat any non veg and egg dishes during Puratassi Month or else i would have made Pepper chicken fry. I made pepper rasam to sooth his throat and cough but he was not ready to eat the rasam... He likes Egg Pepper Fry but because of Puratassi my H didn't allow me to make it. So this Musroom Pepper Masala was a big remedy and helped a lot. Generally for any pepper dishes, i use to add freshly ground pepper at the end only but in this recipe she described to add it in the beginning itself. I followed the recipe as such and over all it was so so so so yummy and soothing....Thanks a lot dear sure this will be a keeper recipe and going to try chicken instead of mushroom :) Now to the Mushroom Pepper Masala...
