Capsicum Raita Recipe - Indian Raita Recipes

Capsicum Raita Recipe - Indian Raita Recipes:

Capsicum raita is the best accompaniment for variety chapathis and parathas. I prepared it for carrot chapathi. I thought of having carrot chapathi as such since it was tasty enough to have it without side dish. But my hubby asked me to prepare onion raita for it. When I opened the fridge to take the curry leaves, I saw the cute capsicum sitting in the side. I immediately got an idea to prepare capsicum raita instead of routine onion raita. I am a fan of capsicum and now for capsicum raita too. It is very easy to prepare and healthy raita recipe. The flavor is so good and it has nice aroma. Capsicum raita is a must try raita recipe for all raita and capsicum lovers.

Oats Dosa Recipe - Indian Oats recipes

Oats Dosa Recipe - Indian Oats recipes:

Oats dosa recipe I have posted here is a super crispy version similar to rava dosa. To get tasty dosas, you need to get help of a little amount of oil. If you are just looking out for healthy version, you can omit oil(refer notes section). Oats is healthy as it has more anti-oxidents and fiber. This version of oats dosa recipe is not boring like eating plain boiled oats. Moreover, it is an instant recipe unlike idli and plain dosas which require idli dosa batter. What other reason is required to try oats dosa?

Coconut chutney is the best accompaniment for oats dosa. Prepare and serve healthy oats dosa with coconut chutney for your family. I have already posted instant wheat dosa recipe which is another instant healthy breakfast/dinner recipe.

Capsicum Rice Recipe - How To Make Capsicum Rice/Bell Pepper Rice:

Capsicum rice recipe is one of the capsicum recipes which has nice aroma and fantastic flavor. My hubby does not like capsicum. He used to put it aside even while having Pizza. As usual, he put the the capsicum pieces away and ate the rice alone. I gave in the same way for my kid too since it might be spicy for him. Even with the capsicums removed from the capsicum rice, the taste was fantastic. When I asked hubby not to ignore the pieces to retain the taste, he told me that the rice itself has the flavor and tastes very good. Let us see the health benefits of capsicum and learn how to make capsicum rice.

Pomegranate Milkshake is the best way to add pomegranate in the diet of babies and kids. Even most of us feel lazy to eat pomegranate because of the seeds. I always make pomegranate milkshake when my kid was a baby. I have already posted how to make Apple Almond Milkshake recipe which is another healthy recipe that can be given for babies and kids. Now, sometimes he eats pomegranate as such. Sometimes, he spit out the seeds or say no to it after eating few bites. I make pomegranate milkshake in such situations. On Sundays, I make Pomegranate milkshake and keep it ready for my hubby and kid before they wake up. I give the milkshake once they wake up instead of plain milk. All of us love the milkshake. It has a pleasant flavor and the splash of red color makes it more attractive. 

 

One good thing about Pomegranate milkshake is, it has natural sweetness. You can even avoid adding sugar to the milkshake or add very little honey if you wish. I used to add pomegranate daily when I was pregnant as it increases the blood flow to the baby.

Health benefits of Pomegranate:

1. Has more antioxidants than even green tea.

2. High in Vitamin C

3. High amount of Vitamin B5 and K

4. Does not contain cholesterol

5. Has only 130 - 150 calories(105 calories out of it are from seeds)
