Crepes are popular not only in France but elsewhere in the world where they go by other names and adaptations. India has dosas and cheelas, Russia has blini and Italy has crespelle. Generally, French crepe batter is made from all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, and butter, but I took the liberty to skip all of them and used whole grain gluten free flour and coconut milk instead. This is the perfect egg free, gluten free, dairy free, soy and corn free recipe for a savory and sweet filling.
All Grain but Gluten
Chole Bhature- The Popular Food Duo
Chole Bhature is the most popular vegetarian food duo loved by people worldwide. It can be eaten in breakfast as well as in lunch. The dish features spicy curried chickpeas (chole), and puffy flour bread (bhaturas). It is also accompanied by a salad of red onion, carrot pickle, ginger batons and green chilies. To eat, the bhatura is ripped off and is used to scoop the chole.
Turmeric Lemon Rice
Having leftover rice from the previous day is very common in many households. And the first preparation that comes to mind is fried rice with vegetables and eggs. The recipe I am sharing with you today is a different kind of fried rice. This one doesn’t need any vegetables or egg. In fact you can make this when you are running out of your pantry stock. Turmeric lemon rice is a popular dish originating from South of India and is known under a couple of different names, such as Lemon rice, Pulihora or Chitrana. It is a slightly spicy rice preparation which has a delightful tang from the lemon, beautiful golden color from turmeric and a nutty flavor from the lentils and peanuts.
Meethe Chawal / Sweet Saffron Rice
Hello everyone, Happy New year!!!
It is after 5 months that I am logging in to my blog. Yes, I am all well.
I have been really busy with various responsibilities. We sold our house after living in it for 12 years and moved into a new one that we built ourselves. We knew nothing about building and even though we hired tradesmen to do all the jobs it was a lot of work managing the whole design and construction process. Days were long, stressful and exhausting, and I was overwhelmed in the beginning but supported my husband fully in carrying the project through from start to finish. The result is a home we love and one that reflects our tastes and preferences.
I am starting the year with a seductive recipe that I have grown up eating and love it.
Adai (Ada dosa)
Dosas are absolutely the tastiest and attractive rice crepe around. There are so many varieties, that one can never get tired of eating them. Some varieties of dosas can be prepared instantly but some need a little time of soaking and fermenting such as masala dosa and utthapam, and then there are some that do not need fermenting. One such dosa is Adai dosa. It is basically a combination of rice with a range of colorful lentils all soaked together and ground to form a thick and coarse batter. Adai dosa is considered to be the nutritious among all dosas.

Methi Wali Makki ki Roti
Punjab is India’s ‘bread basket’ and flat breads are made fresh everyday from various grain and bean flours such as wheat, sorghum, barley, buckwheat, corn and chickpea. Come winters and, it’s makki ki roti or yellow corn flat bread, that becomes staple in every punjabi household – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Corn often referred to as maize in Punjab, is gluten free which makes it a good option for those who are allergic to wheat.
Traditionally, Makki ki roti makes a splendid combination with sarson ka saag (cooked mustard greens) but it can also be cooked in other ways to relish with yogurt and butter. This recipe is flavored with fresh methi (fenugreek leaves). Rich, pungent and slightly bitter, fenugreek leaves are extremely nutritious and turns a plain makki ki roti into something delicious and healthy!
