Fun Punjabi Meals

To make fun meal is easy if you apply little creativity. Take 1 main dish and then play around with sides.

When I make chhole , I make extra. You can eat chhole so many different ways.

  • Had left over roti dough so fried some puri and while oil is hot , you can fry some Papad. Little salad , yogurt , pickle on the side and it becomes nice fun meal .
  • Kulcha is easy to make and made some dal , left over little chhole and voila another good meal without spending too much time in the kitchen.
  • You can buy some samosas and make samosa chat.
  • Or make some tiki chat.
    Be creative and have fun making a meal.

Black Bean Enchiladas

If you like Mexican food , then cook black beans or pinto beans. And then you can make different things for 2-3 days.

I make quesadillas, burrito , taco salad , enchiladas etc . So many options if I have cooked beans handy.

If you are a planner , then very good . Get all ingredients including avocado and you can make at least 2 meals out if it .

I have avocado but it’s not ripe yet. Bummer .

9 Mixed Bean Sprouts – Nori Nem Special

In India , there are lot of festivals , fasting days and you eat something special on that day for 1 time . Nori nem is 1 of those days and it was 2 days back I think.

This dish is specially made on that day and you eat for lunch and no food after that .

Sprout 9 different beans and it’s cooked only with chopped ginger , green chilies. So little bland for Indian taste buds . Drizzle little oil before eating. This is ancient way and now we have those 9 grain breads. May be 9 is special.

I used whatever beans I had mung, mooth, masoor, dry peas, black Chana and sprouted them.

I added chopped onion, ginger , red chili powder , turmeric and salt. Also added little oil while cooking.

Turned out very yummy.

I don’t know the reason behind nori nem but it’s a healthy , nutritious, filling dish and i will eat any day , any day of the year.

Recipe , ideas were given by my “kaki” who is a wonderful cook . She is 1 of those who cooked from magazine recipes in those times and baked a cake in cooker .

Enjoy!
