Hi Friends,

Hope you enjoyed my last blog post about Quinoa Khichdi in our series of healthy recipes. Today, I am going to share another healthy recipe – “Lehsuni Palak Dalia (Garlicky Spinach Porridge)”. Dalia is traditionally used as light yet nutritious meal or for people who are not feeling well and need easily digestible food. While it is healthy in many ways but the taste of traditional recipes don’t do a great job at making it a very desirable food option for many. Today’s recipe Lehsuni Palak Dalia, overcomes this limitation by combining rich fibers of Dalia with the “greeny-goodness” of spinach (Palak) in this delicious dish. The garlic flavor makes it even more interesting. This is a one-pot meal which is easy to make and requires very common ingredients. I used Instant-Pot for the simplicity but you can make it in a standard pressure cooker as well.

Lastly, whether you like Dalia or not you must give this one a try anyway. If you did not like Dalia before you will start liking it and if you liked the traditional recipe then you will start loving it much more.

Hello Foodies,

Welcome to year 2020!! Hope you had a great-start of the new year and set some meaningful goals for the year. One of the common new year resolution is to focus on improving health and start working-out. While exercising is essential for maintaining good health, it is equally important to eat healthy food to complement your efforts in the gym. To satisfy your hunger after a tiring workout, you need some delicious yet healthy dish to reward yourself. I keep trying to find more such healthy options to give my family a healthier diet. Some of the healthy recipes that I posted before on my blog are Avocado Paratha and Methi Dana Sabji. You must check these out if you haven’t already done so.

Today’s recipe “Quinoa Khichdi” is another addition to our list of healthy recipes. Quinoa is rich in fiber and protein and can be a great replacement for the grains with high-calories such as white rice. Making it in the form of Khichdi will make it taste better along with adding the goodness of veggies and lentils. People who do like Khichdi but trying to reduce carbs should definitely try this yummy variation. Let us know how you find it in the comments. Thanks.
