In thie second episode of this series, I will prepare two wholesome breakfast dishes with two great accompaniments – dipping chutney, and an aromatic and easy-to-prepare saucy potato dish.
The menu is the following:
Uppuma – a common South Indian breakfast item prepared with cream of wheat, peas and carrots, and garnished with cilantro and cashews
Adai – Multigrain lentil pancakes made with moong lentils, red lentils and yellow split peas loaded with nutrients
Peanut Coconut Chutney– a creamy chutney made of peanuts and coconut
Onion and Potato Kose – a delicious blend of onions and potatoes cooked in a tomato-base sauce
You will see these breakfast items are loaded with flavors using wholesome vegetables. The pancakes are prepared from multigrain lentils all soaked and ground together with aromatic spices to make a thick batter.
With pancake, instead of sugared syrup, we serve high protein chutney made with peanuts and coconut. You will see how quickly you can whip up this chutney that can also be used as a spread in regular bread.
Cream of wheat in South India is often cooked with mild spices and vegetables. This common South Indian breakfast, called Uppuma, will appeal to everyone including children. Cream of wheat is straight from our grocery store and is also known as “Enriched Farina” (2 ½ minutes cook time). See how quickly we can cook this dish with vegetables.
Onion and potato kose is a thick, flavorful tomato-based sauce. This aromatic sauce can also be served over rice or as a side dish to any meal.
Let us try these breakfast delights with easy-to-prepare accompaniments! Shall we?
