SEASONED GREEN GRAM
INGREDIENTS:
Mung bean/Green gram - 1 cup
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Asafoetida - 1/8 tsp
Lemon - 1/2 tbsp
Coriander - few for garnishing
Shredded Coconut - 1/2 tbsp (optional)
Oil - 1/2 tbsp
Salt as needed
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp finely chopped
Curry leaves few
Grinding :
Ginger - 1 tsp
Green chilli - 2 to 3 (reduce if you do not want very spicy)
METHOD :
1. Soak Mung bean overnight. Pressure cook or cook in a pot boiling water with adding salt.
It has to be soft but still holds its shape when you press. (Do not overcook then it becomes mushy which we do not want)
2. Drain the water.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard, Urad dhal and curry leaves.
4. Now add the Asafoetida.
5. Add ginger and green chilli paste.
6. Add cooked Green gram, add lemon juice and salt.
7. Add the coconut, mix well until everything is blended well. Garnish with chopped coriander.
INGREDIENTS :
Carrots - 2
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Kosher salt - 1/4 tsp
Black pepper or Chilli powder - 1/8 tsp
METHOD :
1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
2. Shave the carrots lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Place the carrot strips in a medium bowl, add the oil, salt, and pepper to taste and toss with your hands until thoroughly coated.
3. Place the strips in a single layer on 2 baking sheets do not overlap.
4. Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate the pans between the racks.
5. Bake until the edges of the chips are just starting to turn golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
6. Place the baking sheets on wire racks and let the chips cool completely until crisp. Store in an airtight container it stays good for a week.
BAKED SWEET POTATO
INGREDIENTS :
Sweet potato - 1 medium ( I used Japenese purple sweet potato you can use any variety of sweet potato)
Olive oil - 2 tsp (I used coconut oil)
Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp (Add more if you want spicy)
Kosher salt - 1/4 tsp
Rosemary - 1/4 tsp chopped (optional)
METHOD :
1.Heat the oven to 375°F.
2. Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds(I used slicer). Place them in a bowl, add the oil, chilli powder, rosemary, salt and toss with your hands until they are well coated.
3. Place the slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets—the rounds can be touching without overlapping.
4.Bake until the edges of the chips centers are just golden brown, and the tops are dry to the touch, about 12 to 14 minutes flipping halfway through.
5. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the chips cool completely.
6. Store them in the air tight container. It stays good for a week.
