MAC SALAD

Sometimes, macaroni can be healthy as well. In my teens when I used to diet, I made invented this dish of my own. I have a predilection for pastas,macaroni,noodles. So I experiment with it all the time.
You can try this as well, its obviously healthy and not heavy on the stomach. You can't always have protein and fibre if you are dieting. carbohydrates and starch , sugars are also essential, not in a big quantity, but they are vital in an individual's diet.
Eventually, I added the carbohydrates in a much healthy way.
Ingredients-
1.macaroni
2.onion
3.tomato
4.sprouts
5.coriander
6.salt
7.pepper
8.lime juice
9.tabasco sauce(optional)
TOTAL CALORIES-
INSTRUCTION-
The thing that you need to get ready is the macaroni, just boil it in some plain water, no salt no oil. Its just a MYTH that if you add oil to the noodles, pastas,macaroni it'll not stick, common sense is that the oil floats in water, so its useless to add oil while its boiling, but believe me I have tried, if you don't add the oil, they come out all fine, and the oil increases the calories as well.
Simply, toss all the ingredients in a bowl with some salt ,pepper as per taste.... and a squeeze of lime, and this combination of carbs+lightness is ready to eat.
ENJOY

CHICK CHICK CHICKEN CUTLETS

Image
Sometimes, I get totally bored by eating chicken thighs, breasts and fillets...... So I tried something ingenious with chicken, I got chicken mince instead of the pieces. Threw some ingredients to it and that tasted like chicken heaven. I had these cutlets with bun, like an Indian burger. Everybody in my house loves it, we have this normally on Sunday mornings.............as its a lethargic rest day for us, so the dish should be heavy and comforting as well. My mother guided me during this experiment, otherwise, I would have made a blunder...!! Because of the supervision, this dish came out perfectly........... with no cutlets left in the plate. Here's the recipe- MIXTURE- half kg chicken minced one onion green chilly 2 chopped coriander a handful chopped finely salt red chilly powder turmeric eggs 2 gram flour(if the mixture doesn't hold in) oil PROCEDURE- heat some oil in a big flat pan mix all the ingredients as mentioned above and make small pat...

TRAVEL TO SOUTH- DOSA, a mid night present.

Image
I live in Maharashtra, nagpur so I can't get authentic dosa's here....:/ boo hoo!! I had authentic dosa's in hyderabad, chennai but its been quite a while. The dosa served there is contrary to what its served here..... :|..... In south viz; andra pradesh, tamil nadu, kerala, Kannada.... The dosa's may vary from state to state, but the flavour what you get there , I never found that here, or in any other place except south. I love south Indian food and culture a lot,I feel a connection cz my mother is telugu...... :-* According to my perception, south indians are conservative, well cultured, educated and dedicated , humble people....... :) Oh I ward off from the main topic here, "dosa". My mother always keeps the batter ready in the fridge for me, as I am quite fussy..!(maybe that's why I am getting fat XD..) Jokes apart, I let the batter stay in the fridge for 4-5 days for fermentation till it gets a hint of sourness to it, I kn...
