HEALING KHICHRI 6 Cups | 1.5 Hours + 1 Hr Soak Time Khichri Is a Simple Peasant Stew Made with Rice and Lentils and Usually Topped with Ghee HEALING KHICHRI 6 cups | 1.5 hours + 1 hr soak time Khichri is a simple peasant stew made with rice and lentils and usually topped with ghee. There are umpteen variations of it, this one being arguably the simplest of the lot. It can be fed to babies first eating solid food, to folks with stomach upsets (great for a hangover) or to older people with delicate digestions. Dill is good for healing an upset stomach and cardamom cures nausea. 1 cup basmati rice ¼ cup yellow moong split lentils 1 tsp turmeric 4 cups water 4-5 whole green cardamom pods 3-4 sprigs of dill 1 tsp salt 2 cups water 2 Tbsp ghee instructions 1. Rinse the basmati rice and yellow moong in cold water twice then soak for an hour. Drain most of the water. 2. Combine the rice and lentil mixture with 4 cups water, cardamom pods, dill and salt in a stockpot and bring the mixture to a boil. 3. Within a few minutes, a scum may rise to the top - this is the debris from the lentils that needs to be discarded. Using a slotted spoon, remove the scum. Lower the heat to its lowest setting, cover the stockpot and let the khichri cook for 45 minutes to an hour, checking and gently stirring every 10 minutes or so. At this point, be careful because the water may overflow and make a mess on the stove. Once the lentils and rice are cooked through, remove and discard the dill and cardamom pods. Add the next 2 cups of water gradually until the khichri has a creamy consistency. ideas / variations • Any fragrant herb can be used to infuse the khichri in place of dill: basil, rosemary or thyme also work. • To amp this khichri up, add one sliced serrano pepper and a cup of fresh tomatoes. • Instead of ghee, drizzle olive or coconut oil on top. .

  • BAINGAN BHARTA Püree Aus Auberginen, Tomaten Und Kartoffel, Mit Knoblauch, Grünem Chili Und Koriander
    Ein so sanft gewürztes Gericht, wie man es eher von einem italienischen Koch erwarten würde. (Bild Susanne Vögeli) BAINGAN BHARTA Püree aus Auberginen, Tomaten und Kartoffel, mit Knoblauch, grünem Chili und Koriander In vielen Regionen Indiens, aber auch in Pakistan und Bangladesch, backt oder grillt man Auberginen und verarbeitet sie dann mit Ge- würzen zu einem Mus, das Baingan bharta heißt oder auf ähnlich klingende Namen hört. Baingan heißt Aubergine, bharta meint, dass etwas vermischt oder zerdrückt wird. Das Mus ist auch ver- wandt mit den Pürees aus gebackenen Auberginen, die im vorde- ren und mittleren Orient als Melitzanosalata, Patlican salatasi, Baba ghanoush oder Moutabal aufgetischt werden. Besonders beliebt ist Der Spiegel am Ende des Auberginenpüree auch in Bihar, wo es Baingan chokha heißt und schwarzen Raumes | «Die Vor- stellung, die ich mir knapp vierzig zum Reisporridge Khichri oder zu den gegrillten Litti-Brötchen ge- Jahre lang von Khajouraho gemacht gessen wird (siehe Bihar Cuisine). habe, wurde von schwarz-weißen Für Chef Kamta, den Küchenchef des Raja Café in Khajuraho, den Fotografien aus Büchern initiiert.

  • STANDARDIZATION of COOKED FOODS & SOME RAW FOODS for CONVERSION to WEIGHTS of the RAW FOODS (Project to Be Taken up by RD Di
    STANDARDIZATION OF COOKED FOODS & SOME RAW FOODS FOR CONVERSION TO WEIGHTS OF THE RAW FOODS (Project to be taken up by RD Dietetic Interns at their respective Hospitals to develop an IDA Regional Database on the raw food weight equivalents of cooked foodstuffs. This will facilitate dietary and nutrient evaluation of patients) Aim of the Project: To standardize some commonly consumed cooked foods in terms of household measures and raw foods into equivalent weight of the raw foods. Rationale: To ensure accuracy in diet planning and evaluation of the nutrient content of diets or intake of different food groups, it is essential to have an idea of - one serving portion of the cooked foods for the various age groups - the amount of these foods in terms of common household measures, used for eating or serving - conversion of the amounts in household measures to the constituent weight of the raw foods Commonly used household measures include large, medium or small katoris, bowls or cups, teaspoon, tablespoon and serving spoons. For ensuring accuracy of the standardization, the size of the container in terms of diameter and height or the volume must be known. In case of food items like chapatis, parathas, dosa, idli , the size and thickness needs to be noted. For pulses and preparations like sambhar, the consistency and texture should be known. These details facilitate better assessment of the raw weights of the ingredients. An idea of the weight of foodstuffs which maybe eaten raw, as related to their size, is also beneficial. For example, it is desirable to know the weight of a small, medium or large apple or any other fruit, a small or medium cucumber or other salad vegetables, a slice of bread or a bun, or a cup of milk.
