100 % Whole Wheat Bread Recipe | No Maida Added | Aata Bread

 ,      No comments   
This bread is made with whole wheat flour only and no added maida. I have added some whey water which gives the bread more structure as the whey water is rich in protein, I got this whey water from making paneer.
 I have also added wheat gluten but this is optional, you need not add the wheat gluten, just the whey water will give this bread an excellent structure.

Ulunthu Kali | Ulunthankali

      No comments   
Ulundu kali or ulunthankali is a healthy dish made with black urad dal and little rice. It's iron and protein rich. This dish is very famous in South India especially our Tamil culture where it is given to all adolescent girls and to girls reaching puberty or to pregnant and lactating mothers. This is a sweet dish made with jaggery or palm jaggery which is also rich in iron. It's a little time consuming to make this dish but well worth it!

Sathumavu Brownies

 , , ,      No comments   
Brownies are my favorite! I always have a weakness for brownies so whenever I have a chocolate craving, this recipe is an easy, guilt free version of a brownie recipe that I absolutely enjoy. These brownies are made with heathmix powder (sathumavu powder) but I guarantee you, if you don't tell anyone it's made with alternate flour, no one will be able to find out. I do that all the time to my children!!

Karuppu Ulundu Vadai | Black Urad Dal Vadai

 ,      No comments   
Black urad dal is protein rich and extremely good for growing adolescent girls and pregnant women. It helps strengthen the bone and joints. In our family, we give young girls a lot of dishes made with black urad dal to strengthen their back bone during the adolescence stage. 
So if you have young girls, above the age of nine, you can make this vada every week and include in their diet. This tastes a little different from the plain white urad dal vada but this is a lot more healthy.

Sathumavu Banana Muffins

 , , ,      No comments   
Sathumavu means health mix powder which is made with different kinds of grains, millets and nuts which makes it really healthy small children. But obviously kids don't like eating a porridge out of this health mix powder so I come up with different ways to include this in their daily diet.

These muffins are so tasty and soft and moist and wonderful to eat. My children never figure out that these are made with sathumaavu powder!! You can make this for kids after school snack and they will love it! I assure you, adults will also love it!
