STUFFED MINI SWEET PEPPERS

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. 

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. 

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

Ingredients

  • 5 to 6 Mini Sweet Peppers 🫑 
  • 1 cup Homemade Paneer 
  • 1 tsp. Olive Oil
  • A pinch of Asafetida (Hing)
  • 1/6 tsp. Cumin Seeds or Roasted Cumin Powder 
  • 1/4 inch piece of Ginger (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 small Red Onion (finely chopped)
  • A pinch of Red Chili Powder 
  • A pinch of Garam Masala
  • Light Salt (as per our preference)

Wash the sweet peppers properly, wipe off the water, cut from the top (save the tops), scoop out the core of the peppers…

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!

Note: Usually, I prepare these stuffed mini sweet peppers as a side dish. Leftovers make a perfect filling for the grilled sandwiches 🥪  We can always bake these in the oven as well.

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. 

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. They’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.

FINGER MILLETS N JAGGERY LADDU | RAGI MODAK | GANESHA CHATURTHI

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

To celebrate the auspicious festival of  Ganesha Chaturthi, here I am sharing the recipe of a super nutritious and delicious Finger Millets And Jaggery Modak or Ragi Laddu. 

In comparison to any other grain, finger millets are the best non-dairy source of calcium. It is also a rich source of natural iron. Hence, these Ragi Modak makes a perfect snack for the kids, especially during the festive season.

Happy Ganesha Chaturthi 🎈🎂🎁🥳🎉

🌹🙏🌹 Shri Ganeshaya Namah 🌹🙏🌹

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Jaggery (grated)
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 4 to 5 Cardamoms 
  • 1/4 to 1/2 Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Coconut 🥥 
  • 1 tbsp. Raisins
  • 1 tbsp. Almonds
  • 1 tbsp. Walnuts 
  • 1 tbsp. Cashews 

Fresh or Dried Coconut 🌴 🥥

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 flour…

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

Add the coconut mixture and stir roast for another 2 to 3 minutes…

Combine well..

Grind the toasted nuts (except raisins)…

Add the nut powder and raisins to the flour mixture..

To make a one string jaggery syrup, take 2/4 cup of water..

Add the jaggery to the warm water on a low heat..,

Let it cook for a couple of minutes..

Turn of the heat as soon as the syrup reaches into one-string consistency…

Add the jaggery syrup to the finger millets mixture and combine well with the help of a spatula…

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

Note: 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. 

Whole Nutmeg

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

Refreshing Avocado Cucumber Tomato Salad 🥑🥒🍅

In this salad recipe, I have used toasted pumpkin seeds for garnishing. Pumpkin seeds are packed with valuable nutrients.

Eating only a small amount of them can provide us with a substantial quantity of healthy fats, magnesium and zinc.

Because of this, pumpkin seeds have been associated with several health benefits.

These include improved heart health, prostate health and protection against certain cancers.

What’s more, these seeds can be easily incorporated into our diet.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Avocado 🥑 
  • 2 small Cucumbers 🥒 
  • 10 to 12 Cherry Tomatoes 🍅
  • 2 sticks Onion Greens 
  • 1 Lemon 
  • Fresh Coriander

Oats And Banana Muffins

written by Hearty Food Talks

Oats And Banana Muffins

Oats are among the healthiest grains on our planet. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Researches show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Oat groats, the most intact and whole form of oats, take a long time to cook. For this reason, most people prefer rolled, crushed or steel-cut oats.

Instant (quick) oats are the most highly processed variety. While they take the shortest time to cook, the texture may be mushy.

Oats are commonly eaten for breakfast as oatmeal, which is made by boiling oats in water or milk. Oatmeal is often referred to as porridge.

They’re also often included in muffins, granola bars, cookies and other baked goods. Here, I am sharing a no fail recipe of wholesome Oats And Banana Muffins.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsps. Wheat Flour
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Thick Plain Yogurt (fresh)

Oats And Banana Muffins make a delightful and wholesome breakfast item or anytime snack for all ages. These can easily be refrigerated in an airtight container for a week or more. Instead of chocolate chips, we may garnish our muffins with oats, or can leave it plain. May also add some raisins or dry fruits into the muffin batter.

Though Chia seeds are very small in size, but are full of important nutrients. The seeds belong to a flowering plant in the mint family.

We must try to incorporate Chia Seeds in our food. As these are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, iron, and calcium.

Homemade Paneer And Broccoli Salad 🥦 🧀

Broccoli has long been considered as a superfood. I mean, one of the healthiest veggies because of its nutritional makeup.

It is high in dietary fiber, thus excellent for detoxification, weight loss, and our gut health. Great for skincare, eye health, and is anti-aging.

Broccoli has powerful antioxidants to fight cancer, and vitamin C to aid in iron absorption.

Due to the presence of calcium, and vitamin K, broccoli is also good for bone health.

Rest it helps reducing cholesterol, inflammation, allergic reactions.

Salads are one good way to incorporate broccoli into our diet.

Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 2-3 cups Lettuce & Romaine Hearts 🥬
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets 🥦 
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes 🍅
  • 2 Persian Cucumbers 🥒 
  • 2 small Oranges 🍊
  • 2-4 tbsps. Homemade Paneer
  • Salad Dressing:
  • White Vinegar or Lemon Juice 🍋
  • Garlic (minced or powder)
  • Mustard (paste or powder)
  • Olive Oil 
  • Black Pepper 🌶 
  • Pink Salt 🧂 
Note: Place all salad dressing ingredients (as per our preference) into a mixing bowl. Whisk them to blend together.
Homemade Paneer And Broccoli Salad

Place all salad ingredients (properly washed, spinned, and chopped) into a bowl. Give a gentle toss. Top it with some extra paneer and serve!

Note: Our Homemade Broccoli and Paneer Salad is very easy to assemble. I always prefer using homemade fresh and soft paneer into this salad. Otherwise, any store bought paneer or cheese of our choice is good to go. Here, we may use steamed broccoli as well.
