oats upma | oats upma with vegetables |healthy Indian oats upma | quick oats upma |with 24 amazing images. oats upma is a super healthy Indian breakfast upma recipe which is made from oats, vegetables and spices. What we love about healthy Indian oats upma is that its very easy to cook and the ingredients are easily available in the Indian kitchen. oats upma with vegetables is far healthier than the traditional upma which is made from rava. Oats are a great source of protein for Vegetarians. It is rich in soluble fibre (to make it good for diabetics), which helps lower blood LDL cholesterol, the so-called "Bad" cholesterol. Here, fibre-rich oats is cooked along with a traditional, flavourful tempering and scrumptious, colourful veggies like carrots and peas, which add to the flavour and visual appeal of the oats upma. I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect quick oats upma. 1. Take care to roast the oats well, to remove the raw aroma and also ensure that the final texture of the upma is nice and not gooey. 2. Prefer to use olive oil for this recipe as it will add some omega-3 fatty acids , which reduces the inflammation in the body and prevents the onset of diseases and even avoid further damage to body due to any pre-existing disease. The Oats Upma is quite filling, and ideal for breakfast as it will easily keep you satiated till lunch time. Being fibre-rich, this upma can also be had by diabetics, but in that case, the sugar should be avoided.

garlic spaghetti recipe | Indian style veg garlic pasta | aglio E olio | with 10 amazing images. garlic spaghetti recipe is a one meal dish and is supremely tummy filling. I usually make this on Sunday's when wanting to make a change in the daily menu. aglio E olio is traditionally an Italian pasta which we have adapted to Indian style garlic pasta. garlic spaghetti is a quintessential pasta dish you can make on any day in less than 30 minutes using just a handful ingredients that you probably have on hand! It is packed with so much flavor, and it has amazing garlic flavor without being too overpowering. Aglio stands for garlic and olio is olive oil. The Indian style veg garlic pasta doesn't require much efforts and not even an amatuer can go wrong with this recipe and it’s super quick to make. All you need to do is boil spaghetti, drain and keep aside. If keeping the boiled spaghetti for a long time, drizzle olive oil over it which wont allow the spaghetti to stick to each other. Further, heat butter and olive oil in a pan. Traditionally aglio-olio is cooked using olive oil and no butter is used. Once oil and butter have heated, we have added garlic which is the main ingredient to the spaghetti. Also, add chilli flakes and cook for a while and turn the flame off. Next, add spaghetti, basil, parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix well using forks and our extremly scrumptious Indian style garlic pasta is ready to be relished!! Tradionally, parmesan cheese is used to garnish aglio-olio but you can use processed cheese too. With vibrant notes of garlic and herbs, this spaghetti preparation is a rare experience to savour. Olive oil and butter give the Garlic Spaghetti (Aglio e Olio) a nice, moist coating with the elegant aroma of olive oil, while a splash of herbs and chilli flakes gives it a heart warming flavour. Enjoy the Garlic Spaghetti fresh and hot and serve with cheesy garlic bread , because any dish with garlic will lose its original flavour if it is not enjoyed hot.

Radish by itself is very aromatic and flavour-packed, so just a few spice powders are enough to enhance mooli sabz flavour to an awesome range! However, what makes this mooli sabzi truly special is the way the spice powders are combined with besan and added to the semi-cooked vegetable. As the besan mixture cooks along with the radish whites and greens, mooli ki sabji develops a deep flavour and aroma, as well as a unique texture, which is very pleasing to the palate. Notes on mooli ki sabji 1. You may adjust the quantity of mooli and leaves according to your preference and availability. mooli sabzi can be made just with the radish, if the greens aren't available. 2.

Here is a simple, easy-to-prepare dish that has an inviting aroma and irresistible flavour! Hariyali Chawal involves simply cooking rice with an assortment of spices, before mixing in a generous dose of chopped coriander. Interestingly, the coriander is not ground into a paste but simply chopped finely and mixed into the rice as soon as it is cooked. This gives it a really appetising look and unique flavour. The garnish of fried onions is as important as the coriander for the success of this dish, so spare a few minutes to prepare it. Serve hot with Teen Ratna Dal and Gajar Gobhi Aur Aam ka Achaar .

Very simple n easy to make recipes suggested with lesser time but yet tasty & healthy. Mouth watering aroma of Bread upma and Hariyali chawal was simply outstanding. Both dishes was finished without any wastage or leftover at my home. The another recipe I tried was Green Garlic Multigrain Rotis...something different with green garlic taste very good. Enjoyed by my loving family.
