This is the time when the freshest of veggies are available in the market. Try out these two recipes.

Winter Mini Uttapam/Dosa

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups of fermented dosa batter

Salt

1 cup of finely chopped spinach leaves

Oil for frying the dosa/uttapam

Mix salt and chopped spinach in the fermented dosa batter. Blend well. Heat a tava and spread one ladle of the batter thinly on the tava and make a dosa or make small uttapams from the batter. The uttapams will be smaller in size and thicker. You can cover with a lid and cook the uttapams on low fire. Both can be served with podi, green chutney or coconut chutney

Mushrooms and Spring Onion Sabji

INGREDIENTS

200 gms button mushrooms

2 cups of spring onions – green portions cut into small pieces

1 medium sized tomato chopped

3 tbsps of oil

Salt

2 tsps of ginger and garlic – chopped finely

1 tsp of cumin seeds – jeera

1 tsp of turmeric powder – haldi

Wash the mushrooms. Prick lightly with the tip of a knife. Wash the spring onions, drain and keep aside. Heat the oil and add the jeera seeds and allow to splutter. Add all the remaining ingredients and cook on medium heat, covering with a lid. Cook till all the water is absorbed. Using very few spices, this dish is easy and quick to prepare but tastes delicious.

Note: Do not replace the chopped ginger garlic with paste. The veggies taste best when ginger and garlic are chopped finely.
