Why three ways? Because I just couldn’t decide between these amazing flavors: Indian-spiced, peanut gochujang, and nacho spice. So, I decided to let you choose for yourself!
This trail mix/savory granola recipe uses split red lentils (aka masoor dal) as the base. You cook the red lentils on the stovetop until they are just al dente, and they roast up to be light and crisp in the oven with your seasonings of choice.
The result is a protein-packed snack that is absolutely full of flavor, no matter which seasoning mix you choose! A serving of this trail mix has around 16 grams of protein and 16 grams of fiber. You can amp up the protein even more by folding in hemp seeds into the granola once it has finished roasting.
The Indian-spiced lentils are inspired by Indian chivda, which usually uses rice flakes or other flaked or puffed grains. It is spicy savory with some balancing sweet from raisins or dates and is fantastically delicious!
For the nacho spiced savory lentil trail mix, a took inspiration from my nacho cheese granola bars. It’s your favorite snacking chip in crisp trail mix form! you can adjust it to your flavor preference. Add more cayenne for more heat or more nutritional yeast for more cheesiness.

Soya keema sandwich recipe – A simple and healthy protein-rich sandwich recipe with soya chunks and paneer filling.
Soya chunks are a rich source of protein, but many friends do not prefer to eat them. I have posted a few recipes using soya chunks in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This recipe is a perfect one for non-soya chunks lovers. I am not a great fan of soya chunks, but I mask them with Indian masalas and eat them. The same filling can be used as a filling for paratha, too.
Everyone at home loves sandwiches. So I always try to make different fillings. This one is a super hit one at home and everyone loved it. You can use the soya granules we get in the shops or cook the big chunks and pulse them to get the minced texture. I have added some paneer to this filling to get a nice taste. You can add scrambled tofu also instead of paneer. The addition of some veggies to this makes it healthier. You can pack this for lunch box or can make this for breakfast or after school snack too.
Add the carrot, broccoli, capsicum, scrambled paneer and scrambled soya chunks.

Flattened rice, commonly known as poha, is rice which is flattened into flat, light, dry flakes originating from the Indian subcontinent. These flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold. The thickness of the flakes varies between almost translucently thin to thick Poha and used in varieties of Indian dishes. It is called by different names in different regions, such as Avalakki (ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ) in Kannada, Atukulu in Telugu, Aval in Tamil & Malayalam, Poha in Hindi.
Avalakki Rasayana/Sihi Avalakki/Sweet Poha is a famous dish from Karnataka, usually prepared during festivals to offer as a Prashad to Lord during Tulasi festival or Krishna Janmashtami. Poha/Aval is Lord Krishna’s favorite food, so avalakki kayi bella is prepared for his offerings. Avalakki Rasayana is a very simple dish, involves no cooking, so could be a great energy dish for ones who are fasting for festivals.
Red Poha vs White Poha! How to use RED POHA?
“Red Poha”
Most Indians kickstart their day with Poha for breakfast. So why not try your breakfast with healthy Poha. A healthier variation to the everyday pohais the red poha, which is made from red rice. Moreover, unlike white rice, red rice doesn’t undergo excessive processing, and as such the other bran layer remains intact. Red poha is slightly coarser in texture as compared to white poha. Red poha can be used pretty much the same way as white poha. You need to rinse the poha 2-3 times and soak it in water first, for at least 10 minutes, so that it softens and then use in many dishes such as salads or stir fry with other vegetables and spices or use in cutlets. This rasayana recipe calls for Red Poha, but you could still use white Poha. It is really about making a healthier choice.
I Usually prepare rasayana as a side dish whenever I make avalakki oggarane (which is the spicy version of poha) for breakfast. Great to pack it in a lunch box too. This Rasayana is a mixture of Red Poha, Jaggery, Coconut, Banana, and Cardamom powder. I call this recipe as 5-ingredient Rasayana that could be prepared within 5-mins.
We had a lot of jackfruits this summer and was finding ways to use in recipes. So thought why not dump into sweet Poha dish and trust me, it tasted so good and made an awesome combination with banana and Poha. Make sure to use only ripe Banana and Jackfruit for this recipe. Jackfruit is purely optional, skip if unavailable. Make this simple no-cook yummy rasayana for breakfast or pack it for lunch box.

Notes
Many variations can be made to this dish,
Red Poha can be replaced with white Poha too.
Add more or less of jaggery as per taste. You could also replace with sugar or add half Jaggery and half sugar. You could also add a spoonful of honey.
Jackfruit is optional. Add only if available for the season. Traditional Rasayana is done just with banana.
Roast few finely chopped cashews and almonds in ghee, along with dry grapes and add to Rasayana.
No need Soaking if using thin flakes of Poha. The juice from the sugar/Jaggery and banana is sufficient enough to make it soft.
Rice is a staple food of more than half of the world’s population and is an inexpensive, nutritious source of energy. There are many varieties of rice that differ in color, flavor and nutritional value, such as brown rice, white rice, red rice, blackrice, etc.,
Red rice a.k.a cargo rice is a type of non-glutinous, russet-colored long grain rice, that is similar to brown rice, in that it is unpolished and is healthier than plain old white rice. It is nutty flavor and soft texture, that goes well with most of the dishes using in place of white rice.
As you all know white rice contains fewer nutrients than brown, black or red varieties, as itshusk, bran layer and the germ is removed. So, consuming whole grains over refined grains an excellent choice for health by making nutritious additions to your diet.
If you are looking for an alternative to your usual white/brown rice, consider trying red rice because it is a whole grain with a good source of fiber and iron and also fat-free. Red rice definitely makes a healthy addition to your diet.
Dosa is a very common, tasty and filling breakfast from south India. It’s more like a crepe, a thin pancake. The procedure of preparing dosa batter involves soaking rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds for 4-6 hours and grinding to a smooth paste and fermenting overnight. The fermented dosa batter is then spread on a hot tawa to yield a delicious dosa that can be enjoyed with any chutney or sambar. Making dosas is a tedious process but the end result is worth, a day-long wait to enjoy the irresistible scrumptious dosas. So why not make this dosa dish for the whole family to enjoy a healthy version. Here is a dosa recipe with the nutritious red rice along with watermelon rind making it, even more, healthier dish. Yes, you read it right! its watermelon rind in this dosa recipe.
Like its cousin-cucumber, the entire watermelon can be eaten, although people tend to only eat the inner pink flesh and throw away the watermelon rind. The black seeds and rind is entirely edible and has many health benefits. After using the flesh part, store the watermelon rind in the refrigerator in an airtight box and use it later to make many dishes from chutneys to pickles. Finding ways to use watermelon rind for food, such as pickles, relishes or jam, extends the functionality of this fruit.
But I tried adding the rind to dosa while making the batter, happy I found another best way to use the healthy rind in our daily food without wasting it, also dosas were as crispy and tasty as the normal dosas with added on health benefits. The dosas with rind do have a slight watermelon flavor that is so good and who would not love to try watermelon flavored dosa. Yummier than ever!!
I always use cast iron to make dosas. You could use a Non-Stick Tawa or Cast-Iron Tawa. Though Non-Stick Tawas make the job easier, I personally recommend using Cast iron and works best all the time I have made these dosas.
Cast iron cookware is inexpensive, hold a high heat capacity, free of chemicals, add trace amounts of iron to your food, and last—well—forever.
Remember to keep the cast-iron tawa/skillet well seasoned always and exclusive for making dosa. Using the same Tawa for making Roti/Chapathi, would make it harder for making dosas the next time.
The right temperature of tawa need to be maintained for making this dosa, also the consistency of the batter should be not too thick and not too watery. Don’t worry if dosa sticks anytime and you find hard to scrape out. Just get the tawa off the stove and scrape and once clean, rub oil using half cut onion/potato. The Tawa is all set to make dosas again.
Enjoy this dosa for breakfast or even an evening snack or pack it for lunch box. Serve Dosa with chutney of your choice and sambar.
Today I served dosa with yummy PEANUT CHUTNEYand Chutney Powder topped with ghee.

HOW TO MAKE RED RICE DOSA(with Watermelon Rind) STEP BY STEP:
1.Rinse 1 cup red rice, ¼ cup urad dal, ½ tsp methi, and ¼ cup red poha thoroughly and soak together in enough water for 5-6 hours.
2. Peel the green skin from watermelon rind(white part, some amount of red fruit is fine too). Roughly chop about a cup of rind and set aside. You could store remaining rind in the refrigerator for later use.
3. Drain the water from soaked rice and dal mixture. Grind the soaked rice and dal to a smooth batter, along with watermelon rind(i did not use any water while grinding)
4. Transfer the ground batter to a deep bowl(which has enough space for the batter to rise. Set in a warm place to ferment for about 8-10 hours or overnight.
5. Once the batter has well risen (doubles the volume), add salt as per taste and mix well. The batter should be thick and pouring consistency. Add water if required to attain pouring consistency, but I did not use water here, as the water from the rind was sufficient to attain the right consistency.
6. Heat a pre-seasoned Cast Iron Dosa Tawa on a med-low flame. When hot, sprinkle water and wipe with a clean towel. Drizzle a few drops of oil and wipe using a paper towel. Pour a ladle of dosa batter and spread in a circular motion. Drizzle oil/ghee on top and edges.
7. Once the dosa is firm and light brown, fold and serve hot with any curry or chutney or sambar.

Notes
Red rice is easily available in many Asian and health food stores and even online.
If Red rice is not available, add any normal idly rice/basmati rice/sona masuri rice in place.
Rice: Rind proportion I make is usually 1:1 (this recipe makes around 10 dosas for 1 cup rice)i.e., if you soak 2 cups rice add 2 cups watermelon Rind. Adjust rind(add more or less) to attain the consistency of batter required, without adding any water while grinding the batter.
This dosa can be made without watermelon rind, just replace rind with water while grinding. This dosa works well with or without watermelon rind.
After ferment add water only if required. I did not use any water while grinding or before making dosas.
The fermenting time might vary depending on the temperature condition in the place you live in. It normally takes 8-10 hours in warm weather. But in cold places, keep the batter inside the oven overnight, with the oven light on. This heat is sufficient enough for batter to rise well. You could even use the YOGURT mode in INSTANT POT for fermenting. Both ways have worked well for me. Try your convenient method and enjoy making dosas irrespective of weather conditions.
This Instant Quinoa oats dosa is one of my favorite and go-to recipes when I am in a hurry to make something healthy and delicious. Being a South Indian and a Dosa fanatic, I get these cravings of Dosa frequently and this recipe is a perfect option.
This tried and tested recipe uses quinoa instead of rice making it a great high protein option. Plus there is no need to ferment the batter, making it a great meal for busy lifestyles. But as we are adding few fenugreek seeds, it not only helps in digestion but also helps in fermentation if you like. Just let the batter sit on the kitchen counter at a warm place and voila, I promise you to get a lovely fermentation there.
Ingredients needed for this QUINOA OATS DOSA
Organic Quinoa – Any color, black, white, or red, or a mix of both. And it makes a great substitute for rice that is high in protein and fiber.
Rolled Oats – Quick or rolled oats. This adds fiber to the dish.
Rice – Gives the dosa a crispy texture
Urad Dal – Adds the traditional earthy dosa taste with creamy texture and proteins
Chana Dal – Helps make the dosa crispy
Fenugreek seeds – Helps in digestion and fermentation if you like it to be.
Salt

Now add in 5 cups of water in that bowl and add fenugreek seeds, rolled oats and keep aside.
Let everything soak for 5 hours or you can leave it overnight.
Let's make the batter now
Reserve the water from the soaked lentils, quinoa and oats.
In a blender jar add in soaked lentils, quinoa, rice and oats. And blend everything to a fine paste.
Add salt and water gradually just a tbsp at a time and grind to make a smooth batter.
Transfer the Batter into a container and it is ready. You can start making dosa's now. Note : You can refrigerate the batter and use it when needed, or if you like it to ferment just cover the container and let it ferment for 5-6 hours or overnight.
It's DOSA time
Heat a cast iron griddle / tawa / Dosa pan on medium flame, take a ladleful of batter at a time, pour it on tawa and spread it using the back of ladle. Starting from the center of the batter spread it even and thin in circular motion going outwards.
Once you start observing the Dosa turning golden brown, spread a tsp of oil evenly.
Allow the dosa to crisp up further for another couple of minutes and gently slide the spatula underneath the dosa and fold it into half.Note : If you like softer dosa lower the heat and take the dosa out when you see it cooked thoroughly.
Gently oil the griddle / tawa / Dosa pan using an onion or a paper towel before making another dosa. This step helps in achieving a perfect crisp dosa.
Serve hot Quinoa oats dosa with chutney and condiments of your choice.
Notes
You can refrigerate the batter and use upto 4 days.
While making the batter you can also add in some spices like green chilies, cumin seeds and fresh ginger to make it more flavorful. Throw in some greens like spinach or steamed veggies like beets or carrots to make it more nutritious.
Always make sure the griddle isn't too hot, else the batter might stick to the pan and will leave your dosas taste burnt. Keep the flame between low and medium.
