by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

Sweet Peppers are also known as bell peppers or capsicum. Though they are fruits (botanically classified as berries), they are commonly used as a vegetable ingredient or as a side dish.

These are great for eye health by being rich in carotenoids. Again, due to the presence of antioxidants, sweet peppers or bell peppers or capsicum prevent from many cancers. VitaminC content of these peppers helps boosting the immunity of our body.Ā 

Peppers help balancing our mood, help in good night sleep, support weight loss, improve skin quality, possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and are heart healthy.

An important point, though all sweet peppers are very nutritious but these red sweet peppers contain 1.5 times more vitamin C, 8 times more vitamin A and 11 times more beta carotene than green bell peppers.Ā 

Yellow bell peppers have more vitamin C than green ones, but less vitamin A and beta carotene.

Ingredients

  • 5 to 6 Mini Sweet Peppers šŸ«‘Ā 
  • 1 cup Homemade PaneerĀ 
  • 1 tsp. Olive Oil

Curdle the boiled milk w/ lemon juice or vinegar..

Sieve it through a cheese cloth, gently rinse it under tap water. Squeeze all the water, give it a tie, and hang it for 20 to 30 minutes..

Fresh homemade paneer. For the stuffing season it with the spices mentioned above, or simply add salt and black pepper.

Stuff the peppers with paneer and let cook on low medium heat on a heavy bottom pan..

Place the peppers on their tops and let cook. Keep changing the sides every 3 to 4 minutes..

Sides need to be changed..

After all four sides and the top is done, cover the lid of the pan for 5 to 6 minutes..

Peppers are almost done..

Transfer the peppers to a serving plate..

Cover them with their tops and our colored mini sweet peppers are ready to serve!

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

The fruit of avocado is basically a large berry containing a single large seed.Ā 

It is quite a unique fruit with powerful health benefits. While most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, avocado is high in healthy fats. Itā€™s often referred to as a superfood.

Ingredients

  • 1 Avocado šŸ„‘Ā 
  • 1 cup Multigrain Flour or Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 to 1/2 inch piece Ginger
  • 2 to 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 small Green Chili
  • 1/4 cup Fresh CorianderĀ 
  • 1 to 2 tsps. Lemon Juice
  • 1 /2 to 1 tsp. Cumin Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp. Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Garam Masala
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • Oil to cook the Avocado Flatbread

Avocado, onions, ginger, garlic, green chili, coriander, and lemon to be added to the flour before kneading It into a dough..

Chopped veggies, ready to be used in the recipe..

In a wide bowl, take multigrain or wheat flour...add all spices to it...

Also, add the chopped veggies (garlic, ginger, onions, green chili, lemon juice, and fresh coriander) to it...

Knead the mixture into a firm dough (with NO WATER)...use a little oil for the final round of kneading..set aside for 20 minutes..

Divide the avocado dough into equal portions, and shape them into small patties...

Now, roll each portion into an even and round flatbread or tortilla...

Cook each avocado tortilla on a hot plate or pan from both sides using oil...Serve immediately!

Note: Surprisingly, the Avocado dough was pretty easy to handle. Of course, for rolling some dry flour was required just like for a regular roti or paratha. Cooked flatbreads turned pretty soft, and flavorful.

DELIGHTFUL MAKHANA KHEER (FOX NUT PUDDING)

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

Makhana is also referred as fox nuts or lotus seeds. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus). Supports weight loss, blood sugar management, and heart health.Ā 

Also rich in antioxidants and anti-aging properties.Ā 

Makhana is quite versatile and easy to enjoy in many different recipes. Sometimes roasted and enjoyed as a savory snack or added to curries, or desserts.Ā 

Here, I have shared a very delightful, and traditional recipe of Makhana Kheer.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 and a 1/2 cup Makhana (Fox Nuts)
  • 1 tsp. Ghee (Purified Butter)
  • 1/4 cup Organic Cane Sugar
  • A few strands of SaffronĀ 
  • 1/4 tsp. Cardamom Powder
  • Pistachio or Almond Slivers for garnishing

Place the milk in a heavy bottom pan on medium heat...let it boil until reduced to 3/4 or 1/2 the quantity...make sure to adjust the heat to low when required and occasional stirring...

Add saffron strands...

Meanwhile, dry roast (or with a tsp. of ghee) makhana on a low heat..constantly stirring for 5 minutes...

Turn off the heat...keep stirring...or transfer to a plate...let them cool to room temperature...

Pulse grind makhana into a coarse powder...

Keep it aside for later useā€¦

Prepare some fresh cardamom powder...

Fresh cardamom powder...

Reduced milk....

Add makhana to the milk...

Combine well...

Let it cook on low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes..

Finally, add sugar and cardamom powder...combine well...turn off the heat...

Garnish with pistachio...serve hot or at room temperature!

Note: Makhana Kheer is very easy to create. Heavy bottom pan, proper heat adjustments, and constant stirring are important. For a variation, I sometimes add the whole makhana instead of grinding them. Here, I would also like to mention that makhana is an excellent source of several important nutrients, and micronutrients.

PROTEIN FOODS TO BE INCLUDED IN A VEGETARIAN DIET

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

Protein is very important for the muscle strength, satiety, weight loss, and metabolic process of our body. A common concern about vegetarian and vegan diets is that they might lack sufficient protein.

However, many experts agree that a well-planned vegetarian or vegan diet can provide us with all the nutrients we need.Ā 

Yogurt is rich in protein and it can easily be incorporated into our diet.

Oats are not only nutritious but also an easy and delicious way to incorporate plant protein into a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Nuts, seeds and their butters are an easy way to add plant protein, vitamins and minerals to your diet. Opt to consume them raw, unblanched and with no other additives to maximize their nutrient content.

Tofu, tempeh and edamame all originate from soybeans, a complete source of protein. They also contain good amounts of several other nutrients and can be used in a variety of recipes.

Certain fruits and vegetables contain more protein than others. Include them in your meals to increase your daily protein intake. Vegetables with the most protein include broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts.

Ezekiel and other breads made from sprouted grains have an enhanced protein and nutrient profile, compared to more traditional breads.

Lentils are nutritional powerhouses. They are rich in protein and contain good amounts of other nutrients. They may also help reduce the risk of various diseases.

Beans are health-promoting, protein-packed legumes that contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds.

Chickpeas, Black Chickpeas, and Green peas are high in protein, vitamins and minerals and can be used as more than just a side dish

Wild rice is a tasty, nutrient-rich plant source of protein. Those relying on wild rice as a food staple should take precautions to reduce its arsenic content.

Chia seeds are a versatile source of plant protein. They also contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other health-promoting compounds.

Hempseed contains a good amount of complete, highly-digestible protein, as well as health-promoting essential fatty acids in a ratio optimal for human health.

Amaranth and quinoa are pseudocereals that provide you with a complete source of protein. They can be prepared and eaten similar to traditional grains such as wheat and rice.

Spelt and teff are high-protein ancient grains. Theyā€™re a great source of various vitamins and minerals and an interesting alternative to more common grains.

Nutritional yeast is a popular plant-based ingredient often used to give dishes a dairy-free cheese flavor. It is high in protein, fiber and is often fortified with various nutrients, including vitamin B12.

Seitan is a mock meat made from wheat gluten. Its high protein content, meat-like texture and versatility make it a popular plant-based protein choice among many vegetarians and vegans.

Spirulina (Blue-green algae) is a nutritious high-protein food with many beneficial health-enhancing properties.

  • 1 tbsp. Raisins
  • 1 tbsp. Almonds
  • 1 tbsp. WalnutsĀ 
  • 1 tbsp. CashewsĀ 

Fresh or Dried Coconut šŸŒ“ šŸ„„

Freshly Grated Nutmeg

Place the cardamom, nutmeg, and coconut in a blender jar. Grind the mixture into a coarse powder.

Keep the coarsely ground coconut mixture aside for later use.

In a heavy bottom pan, on a low-medium heat, add ghee and the finger millet flourā€¦

Keep roasting it with a constant stirring, until fragrant (10 to 15 mins)ā€¦

Add the coconut mixture and stir roast for another 2 to 3 minutesā€¦

Combine well..

Grind the toasted nuts (except raisins)ā€¦

Once the mixture gets little cooler, start binding the dough into small Laddu or Modak. Our Finger Millets Laddu are ready for celebration!

Note:Ā These Finger Millets Laddu turned out very delicious. Binding part is a bit challenging, as the laddu mixture has to be warm enough. An extra ghee, jaggery, or milk helps creating the Laddu much faster. Teams up great with a cup of milk.Ā 

Whole Nutmeg

May put a little oil around the edge of the pancake.
Using a spatula, keep checking the bottom of the pancake. Wait until golden brownā€¦ Before flipping the upside down, spread a little mung batter on top of paneer (to hold it while cooking).
Let the paneer side cook on low heat. Keep checking with the help of a spatula. Again, may apply a little oil on top or around the pancake..
A well done mung and paneer pancake is ready to serveā€¦

Notes

Mung and paneer pancake makes a protein-packed breakfast recipe. It allows to add as many and as much veggies and paneer, as per our preferences. I prefer serving it with chutneys, and tomato ketchup as a snack. Whereas, with a bowl of yogurt or buttermilk as a meal.
