I always try to look for simple and quick recipes and ‘Rawa Idli’ fits it in perfectly. Rawa idli is a version of the famous Indian breakfast Idli which is made from soaked rice and Urad lentils. The one I am preparing here is made with semolina and yoghurt The dish is prepared by steaming the mixture and one can have it at any time of the day. Idli is always served with sambhar or chutney or both together. Nutritional Value Here i have used just two ingredients Rawa Sooji ( semolina) which is best for carb intake and curd is made of milk so these ingredients complimentt each other to present a healthy dish. Rawa half cup (50 gms)   Calories- 180 Protein- 6 gm Curd half cup (50 gms)  Calorie -70 Protein- 6gm Servings- 2 to 3 Ingredients 1/2 cup Rawa Sooji ( semolina) 1/2 cup Curd 1 teaspoon salt   1 pinch of baking soda  1 teaspoon paprika Method Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let it sit for 15

PHANU

‘Phanu' can be prepared from varieties of lentil/legumes and its taste depends on what kind of legume is used. Here, am preparing it from Gath also known as Horse gram, its a household dish of every Garhwal home. Most people know horse gram as a part of south Indian cuisine, but this is one of the most popular legumes of Uttrakhand. Garhwali cuisine is mainly based on lentils/ legumes and varieties of vegetables, nothing fancy is served at hills but they are always packed with flavors. Nutritional Value Horsegram is usually known for its heat content i.e. the basic nature of the legume produces heat in the body, that's why its one of the favorite at cold regions of India. Well, its rich in iron, calcium, and protein but according to old sayings, it should be avoided by females who are expecting. Calories- 360 Protein- 24 g Iron - 30%* Calcium - 20%* Servings- 2 to 3 Ingredients 1/2 cup Horsegram (soaked drained and then coarsely ground)
