Hello Foodies,
          Tandulja Bhaji or all the green leafy vegetables have a unique flavor and texture due to the use of garlic, green chillies, and onion. I grew up by eating green leafy vegetables like Methichi Bhaji, Shepuchi Bhaji, Lal Mathachi Bhaji, Tanduljachi Bhaji, these green leafy vegetables have been a part of our diet since I was a kid. In English, Tandulja is known as Amaranthus. Some use red chili powder to prepare this bhaji, but at my home, we use green chilies. Some use peanuts or pulses while cooking tandulja. Tandulja is loaded with lots of essential nutrients. It is a simple and easy way to make tandulja bhaji. The recipe uses just a handful of ingredients. The addition of onion adds a slight crunch to the tandulja leaves stir fry. It tastes awesome with Bhakri / Chapati. You can also pack this stir-fry in the tiffin box.

Indian Traditional Fast ( उपवास ) :
          It was the day of angarki Chaturthi ( I keep fast on every monthly Chaturthi) I was having lunch with my colleagues, and that time I ate some sabudana khichdi and sabudana kheer. My colleagues (non-Indian) asked me, you said you are having fast, then how can you eat that much when you are fasting?😜

Then I explained to them, to us(Indians) religious fasting has a distinctive form based on community and region.  According to traditional ritual, fast means, onion, garlic, cereal grains are not allowed to consume during fasts. Fasting is a prevalent and ancient form of austerity in Hinduism. It is usually done in Hinduism, either to show your sincerity and resolve or to express your gratitude.

Overall, fasting is good for the mind
             So today I have prepared this upavasachi thali on the occasion of Aashadhi Ekadashi / Devshayani Ekadashi / Maha-Ekadashi, the day when people observe fast. Aashadhi Ekadashi celebrates primarily in Maharashtra.
 Warkaris take out processions to the temple of Vitthal in Pandharpur in the Solapur district of Maharashtra. Vitthal is considered to be ‘the people’s god.’ An important part of Ashadhi Ekadashi celebrations is the fasting. And if you’re celebrating the festival today, here’s everything you need to know about fasting on Ashadhi Ekadashi.
Ideally, you should not eat any rice items(except varai/sama), grains, meat, onion, and garlic. Devotees who are observing fast can consume sabudana khichdi, kheer,  fruits, milk, and nuts.

Hello Foodies,

          Varaicha bhat reminds me of my childhood days when my mother used to cook this varaicha bhat and shengdanyachi amti during fasting days. This is one of the best recipes to incorporate millets into our diet. Aashadhi Ekadashi feels incomplete without this varai bhat. Varai bhat is the recipe that forms a simple and healthy base or which pairs up well with the shengdanyachi amti. It is very suitable for fasting days or for the time when you wish to avoid rice or simple carbohydrates.
           In India, cereal grains are not consumed during fasts which makes varai a popular ingredient during the fasting days. The varai rice tastes almost similar to broken rice when cooked. It does not cook into separate grains like long-grained rice. It is a tiny, white, round grain, bigger in size than semolina (rava) and smaller than sago (sabudana). The varai being easily available, quick to cook, and good to taste, and its ideal wholesome alternative to rice, wheat, and other less easily available millets. It can be given as porridge or kheer to babies between 6-7 months. In India, it is commonly used to prepare upma, khichdi, and pulav, especially during the fasting days.

Hello Foodies,

            Aashadhi Ekadashi is around the corner, so to celebrate this Ekadashi prepare this easy and healthy Indian fasting dessert Sabudanyachi Kheer. I prepared it once, and it was a bumper hit. It is a vegan, gluten-free and creamy dessert that can be made effortlessly. Here, I have used coconut milk to prepare this kheer, there is another version which I make by using cow's milk. It is most common and easiest dessert or sweet dish which served on fasting days and can be prepared in less than 15 minutes.
               It is also a good option if you're following a gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diet. This recipe covers approx. 10% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. The addition of coconut milk and jaggery to sabudana kheer adds the protein and iron content, making it a more nutritious dish. Sabudana is used for making sabudana khichdi, sabudana vada, sabudana thalipith. Sabudana provides instant energy, as it is high in carbohydrates and hence sabudana used during fasting days for making fasting food.

Healthy Boiled Peanuts Recipe Using Instant Pot

How to Boil Peanuts using instant pot
#BoiledPeanuts #BoiledPeanutsInInstantPot #उकडलेल्याशेंगा #InstantPotRecipe #HealthyRecipe #SnacksRecipe #FastingRecipe #VeganRecipe #GlutenFreeRecipe #VegetarianRecipe #AaichiSavali

Hello Foodies,
        Homemade boiled peanuts are truly delicious, while I grew up eating boiled peanuts like

these, from my mom's kitchen. They are totally addictive. Taste buds really do love a kick of flavor and heat. When I prepare them, I add a tablespoon of turmeric powder and boil on. So yum! A traditional method of boiling peanuts took 4 to 5 hours, but boiling them in instant pot is now a quicker and easier process, it needs just 40 minutes. When prepared correctly, they really are a treat, not to mention sneaky addictive.
       I have used raw or green peanuts, you can use dry one, but fully mature peanuts do not make good quality boiled peanuts, preferably raw or green ones are. So let's start.

Course: Snacks
Cuisine: Indian
Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 40 Minutes
Dietary Comments: Healthy snack, vegan, gluten-free.

YouTube Video:

Ingredients :

1. Peanuts (Raw/Green), 2 lbs
2. Salt ¼ cup
3. Turmeric 1 Tbsp
4. Water as needed to cover the peanuts.

Instructions :

1. Rinse the peanuts under tap water to remove any debris.
2. To the instant pot, add water, salt, and turmeric powder and stir it.
3. Now add peanuts in the pot and add enough water to cover the peanuts and stir.
4. Peanuts will float, so I have placed plate/weight on top of them to keep them submerged.
5. Close the lid and place the vent in sealing position and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
6. When done, NPR for 10 minutes and then release remaining pressure manually.
   
7. Tadaa, Boiled Peanuts are ready to serve. Enjoy!!! 

My Take :

1. If you don't have a small plate, then you can place trivet that came with IP and on top of trivet place any Pyrex bowl, heatproof bowl/mug should work, to keep it weighted down.
2. Be sure to not overfill the Instant Pot.
3. If you like you can add seasoning of your choice.
4. If you are using dry peanuts / fully mature peanuts, then cooking time will increase (may need to cook for 60-70 my minutes on high-pressure manual mode).
5. Drain the peanuts and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
6. The cooking time can vary greatly depending on how fresh the peanuts are. The fresher the peanut, the less time it will take to cook.

Health Benefits of Peanuts :

1. Nutrients: Peanuts contain vitamins, minerals, nutrients and antioxidants and thus are rich energy sources.
2. Fertility: If taken before and during early pregnancy, the folic acid lowers the risk of a baby being born with serious neural tube defects.
3. Regulates Blood Sugar: Manganese in peanuts helps in calcium absorption, fats and carbohydrates metabolism and sugar level regulation in blood.
4. Lowers Cholesterol: Peanuts contain monounsaturated fatty acids especially oleic acid that prevents coronary diseases. It lowers bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol in the body.
5. Peanuts are rich in proteins. The amino acids present in them are suitable for the proper growth and development of the body.
