Masala Bruschetta (Indian Style Toast With Veggie Topping)

March 19, 2018

Masala Bruschetta is a lovely snack, starter, or even a healthy breakfast! It is similar to Pav Bhaji but a lot simpler and quick with fewer ingredients. Served with a cup or two of Masala Chai made with non-dairy milk; it fills the bill very nicely. The masala itself is Gluten-Free; if you use gluten-free bread/wraps, crackers, sweet or regular potato slices, or lettuce leaves, you can have a gluten-free meal! NOTES: Go easy with salt as chaat masala is quite salty! More can be added at the end if needed. Instead of the green chile, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes may be used; add it when adding the Cumin seeds to the oil. Other veggies and/or cooked, crumbled sweet or regular potato may be added; if adding more veggies, adjust seasonings. 8-10 Toasts INGREDIENTS: 1 tsp oil ½ tsp Mustard seeds ½ tsp Cumin seeds 1 medium Onion, finely chopped 1 green chile, cored and finely minced (jalapeno or serrano) 1 Bell Pepper, finely ...

Enfrijoladas (Stuffed Tortillas In Bean Sauce)

October 15, 2013

Kidney bean Enfrijoladas Tortillas in Bean Sauce might sound so bland and bleak - but Enfrijoladas are nothing of the kind - they are amazingly flavorful and tasty food. They belong to the homey, comfort food category and utilize leftover beans, tortillas, etc. Once tasted, they are sure to become a family favorite - they have become ours. Beans and tortillas provide great nutrition without impacting your food budget. Enfrijoladas make a hearty meal but the tortillas may be served simply dipped in the enfrijoladas sauce (see picture above) without any stuffing. We love this sauce over chips, Mexican rice , and Kidney bean cakes . Note: Assemble the enfrijoladas just before serving as they taste best served right away; they get soggy if kept waiting too long. 4-6 Servings Ingredients: 1 medium Onion, chopped 1-2 cloves Garlic, crushed 2 Tomatoes, chopped 1 small green Bell Pepper (capsicum) 1 or 2 Jalapeno/Serrano OR Chipotle Chile (optional) 1/2 tsp Turm...

Kidney Bean Cakes (Bean & Veg Burgers)

October 12, 2013

Kidney bean burgers are wonderful - on its own or on a bun piled with all the traditional additions of lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, etc for a very satisfying meal. Or, they may be tucked inside the pockets of pita breads with your favorite fixings. I like serving these burgers with salsa, tomato chutney or a simple tomato sauce. The burgers may be made a day or two ahead and grilled with a little barbecue sauce to warm them. These burgers are not as tough as the store-bought ones and hence need to be handled gently while grilling. I made these with only the ingredients allowed on Paji's Ayurvedic anti-inflammatory diet and he really enjoyed his special treat topped with peperonata :). But really, one does not have to be on a special diet to enjoy these! I used matzo meal since bread crumbs were a no-no; crushed or coarsely powdered dried chapatis or any plain unleavened whole wheat bread or crackers may also be used. Matzo are plain unleavened whole wheat...
