Kuttu Pooris (Buckwheat Flat Bread – Fried)

During the celebrations of Navratri (and some other festivals), devotees fast. Throughout this fasting period, people consume Kuttu (buckwheat). According to Hindu mythology, it is a strict NO for consuming grains during Navratri. Hence pseudo cereals such as kuttu or Singhara Ka atta(water caltrop/ chestnut) are consumed during this time. I have tried this recipe multiple times. It’s always so yummy. It’s so simple and uses few ingredients we have in our pantry.

Rice

Kanji Vada ( Moong dal pakora)

At the start of spring season, the festival of Holi or sometimes called festival of color  is incomplete without some scrumptious dishes shared with family and friends. Kanji Vada is one such dish that is savored during the festival. It is a spicy drink made with spices such as mustard seeds, asafoetida, red chili etc, served along with vada made from moong dal. It is fermented, sour, tangy and spicy at once, is an excellent probiotic, good for health and can easily be made at home.
