Nectarines are a good source of Vitamin C, carotenoids, and potassium. They also provide Vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, fiber, and some iron. Due to the high amount of vitamin C, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolic acids, nectarines have an excellent antioxidant properties.

Multigrain And Gram Flour Laddu

by Hearty Food Talks August 2, 2021

written by Hearty Food Talks

As the name suggests, these delectable Multigrain And Gram Flour Laddu are made from the coarse whole wheat flour, and a very wholesome Chana dal (Gram lentil) flour called ‘besan’. Its astounding flavor derives from the slow and proper roasting of flours. Flours should neither be under-roasted nor over-roasted.

Again, it takes some practice to roll the laddu from the roasted flour mixture. Place a scoop of mixture on your palm, firmly press it 2 to 3 times with your fist. Later roll it on your palm to give it a smooth and nice round shape.

Ingredients

1 cup Multigrain Flour
1/4 cup Besan (Gram Flour)
1/2 cup Ghee (Purified Butter)
1/2 tsp. Cardamom
1/2 to 3/4 cup Organic Cane Sugar (or jaggery)
1/4 cup Coconut Powder
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 cup Cashews
1/4 cup Almonds
A few Saffron Strands (optional)

Note: This Multigrain and Gram Flour Laddu teams up great with a cup of warm milk. You may also serve it as a mixture with some fresh plain yogurt. It makes a delicious, and satisfying snack for all ages. These can be stored in an airtight container for two to three weeks.

Tofu And Veggies Platter

by Hearty Food Talks August 1, 2021

written by Hearty Food Talks

Tofu And Veggies Platter

Tofu is also known as bean curd. It is prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks. Nutritionally, tofu is low in calories, while containing a relatively large amount of protein. It is high in iron, and can have a high calcium or magnesium content depending on the coagulants used in manufacturing.

Tofu can be of varying firmness – silken, soft, firm, extra firm or super firm. It has a subtle flavor, so can be used in savory and sweet recpies. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the recipe and its flavors, and due to its spongy texture it absorbs the flavors well.

Paneer in vegetarian recipes can easily be substituted with Tofu, to make them suitable for plant-based, or vegan diet.

Ingredients

(as per our preference)

Tofu
Ginger
Garlic
Onion
Green chili
Red Bell Pepper
Yellow Bell Pepper
Green Bell Pepper
Boiled Potatoes
Lemon
Black Pepper
salt

Directions

Cut the Tofu into bite-size pieces. Place them in a bowl of warm water, and keep them aside.

Use minced ginger-garlic and even green chili.

Chop the rest of the veggies in bite-size.

On a hot plate or pan start roasting the veggies from onions, potatoes, peppers, to tofu. Transfer the veggies to a plate.

On the same pan, stir-roast ginger and garlic. Once well done, toss the veggies into it.

Serve immediately, with red chili sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt.

Note: The Tofu And Veggies Platter gets ready in under 15 minutes. It makes a great vegan snack/meal. Vegetarians may replace the tofu with paneer. In place of lemon, we may use low sodium soy sauce.

Some other veggies, that I would like to incorporate in the above platter are mushrooms, broccoli, sweet potato, and Brussels sprouts.

2 cups of Fresh Mango Pulp

2 to 4 Ice Cubes

Note: Coconut And Mango Smoothie makes a perfect breakfast, fruit snack, or dessert. It can be easily be created under 10 minutes. Make sure to use sweet and flavorful mango. We may also use canned mango pulp. Try avoiding canned coconut milk. Instead fresh, or bottled, or boxed coconut milk. Always check the flavors of milk, & yogurt. Since both mango and coconut were naturally sweet, I did not feel like using any sweetener. Finally, for smoothies a lot of people prefer using frozen fruits. It sure saves time, and anytime accessibility to preferred fruits.
