Ya I know its a herb and how am I suppose to cook it as vegetable? but folks trust me it does work well. This receipe I picked up from my in-laws, works well as side dish and garlic adds extra flavor to it..........its addictive and healthy

Ingredients

• 2 bunch of cleaned Dill/Shepu
• 5 pods of Garlic/lahsun sliced finely
  
• salt
• oil
• 2 green chillis chopped
• pinch of asoefetida/hingt

Direction

• Heat little oil in Pan. When heated add Hing/asoefetida.
• Now add Garlic and Green Chillis, once garlic turns little reddish, add Shepu/Dill.
• Stir Dill and cover it for 10 minutes and keep it on low.
• it is ready to be eaten :)
  

I can't express in words how much I love eating this. Usually Indians eat sabudana during fasting but they are so gud that I can keep fast just to eat them :) I tried to make them several time and failed to make the way ladies make in our home but finally I made it and that to in Microwave. No more sticky sabudana.......There are lot of ways to make them but I love this Maharastrian style.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Soaked Sabudana/Tapioca--I usually soak them overnight and to see best results, soak them in water and just leave little extra water above sabudana. More water will result into lumpy sabudana. Next day if you feel they are overdried, sprinkle little water.
• 3/4 cup Roasted coarsely grinded peanuts
• little oil
• couple of Kadi patta/Curry Leaves
• 1 small boiled potatoe cut in cubed
• 1/2 tsp jeera/cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp chopped Green chili
• 1/2 lime squeezed
• 1/4 tsp red chili pwd
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
• salt as per taste 

Direction

• Gently mix Sabudana with Peanuts, Salt, Sugar, chilli powder and potatoe.
• In microwave safe bowl add little oil, Cumin seeds, Curry leaves and Green Chilli and microwave for 1 minute.
• Add Sabudana mix now and microwave for 2-3 minutes take a break for couple of minutes and microwave again for 2-3 minutes. Repeat this process 1 more time and they should be cooked properly now. Based on you microwave adjust time.
• Garnish with Coriander leaves and server with Dahi/Plain yougurt if you like or squeez Lemon.

  Enjoy!

This is my first receipe to write in new year 2009, so I thought I should start this by writing something sweet. Malpua is one of favourite dish to eat in breakfast. We can make this pancakes more special by adding Slivered almonds and pistachios. There are several ways to make this pancakes but this is my favourite and quickest way to make, it hardly takes 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup atta/Wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sugar or as per you taste
• 1/2 tsp elaichi/cardamom powder
• 1/2 cup water - we can use milk instead
• Butter/Ghee to fry pancakes 
• few strands of saffron - optional
  

Direction

• Mix all ingredients to desired consistency except ghee and make a smooth batter without any lumps.
• Heat little butter on skillet and pour batter on it, spread batter to make size of pancake. If needed add extra ghee or butter.
• flip overand cook another side. 
• Use rest of batter to cook more pancakes.
• Serve them with papad to make good combination of spicy and sweet breakfast.
  

 Enjoy!
