Ragi Mudde/ Finger Millet Steamed Balls

I had some finger millet flour in my pantry. I had made Tingal avre kolombo and thought of making ragi mudde to go with it. This recipe is not a very authentic ragi mudde recipe. The original recipe might be totally different than what I have mentioned here. But back home this is how we prepare. 

This is prepared widely in Bangalore and served with really spicy gravy called bassaru. I have tried to find the recipe for bassaru and I have made it refering to many blogs.

Tingal Avre Kolombo/White Bean Sambar

Its been a while since I posted anything on my blog. Time is a constraint. Though I was clicking pictures whenever I prepared something which I want to put on my blog, I could not post it.

Back home this is typically prepared with a white bean called "Tingalavre". I am not sure what is it called here. I have tried to find these beans in Indian stores with no success. I started substituing with "Lima Beans".  These beans cook very easily and does not need soaking for more than 3-4 hours.

Paneer Paratha

As I mentioned in my Aloo Paratha post, our nanny made awesome parathas. Most of the paratha recipes I blog are from her. I surely was not a big fan of paneer. Now I always have a stock in our refrigerator only because my DD loves it ! She is in her toddler hood and loves to self feed. So feeding her rice is very challenging and messy job for me. I try to squeeze in parathas, roti or even dosa during dinner. Dinner was a bliss when I made this paratha !

Very simple recipe with very few basic ingredients which are easily available in ones pantry. But paratha have always been time consuming for me. All the methods are the same as Aloo paratha except for preparing paneer stuffing. This is much quicker and easier as we do not need to fry paneer. If the paneer is thawed well, grating wont take more than a couple of minutes.
