Capsicum Curry With Peanuts And Sesame Seeds

          As I have mentioned so many times, capsicum is one vegetable, that I always have in my fridge, it is a very versatile vegetable and so many dishes can be made with it. It pairs beautifully with so many vegetables, it takes less time to cook and most importantly, can be chopped in minutes. For today's curry I have cooked the capsicums with some roasted peanut and sesame seeds powder which gives a nice taste and flavor to it. It's again an easy one, very ideal for those busy weekdays and goes well with both rice and rotis..

Need To Have

• Capsicum - 3, diced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Red Chilly Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mustard Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Raw Peanuts - 3 tablespoons
• White Sesame Seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Curry Leaves - 10
• Salt to taste

Method

          Dry roast the peanuts and sesame seeds, cool, peel the peanuts and make a coarse powder with it and the sesame seeds.

          Heat some oil, add the mustard and cumin seeds, when it starts spluttering, add the onions and saute till it turns pink, then add the capsicum and saute for 2 minutes.

          Add the tomatoes, turmeric and chilly powders and salt, mix for one more minute, cover and cook till the capsicum is cooked. Now add the ground powder, mix for another 2 to 3 minutes till everything comes together. Finally mix in the curry leaves and switch off.

Note
If you get roasted and peeled peanuts, it saves time, also while roasting the sesame seeds, cover with a lid, it prevents the sesame seeds from popping all over.

Microwave Apple Jam

          Homemade jams are always more special than the store bought ones and I had always wanted to make some, but kept putting it off since my family is not the 'jam' kind, they like savory sandwiches better. But this time I had so much apples at home, I had bought some and then a visiting friend had got some more, and I knew I had to do something with it. This apple jam, it's from a cook book that came with my microwave oven. It's such an easy method, I followed the original recipe, except for the amount of sugar and I added some ginger which gave a nice flavor and taste to the jam. My daughter who's not a big fan of jelly sandwiches, loved this jam and I was so happy, that my maiden attempt at jam making was a success..

Need To Have

• Apples - chopped, 21/2 cups
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Grated Ginger - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon Juice - 2 tablespoons

Method

          In a deep microwave safe bowl, take the chopped apples, sugar and ginger, mix and microwave it at 100% power level for 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, it would look slightly cooked, cool it and blend it. Don't make a very smooth paste, it's okay to have a couple of pieces here and there, it gives a nice texture to the jam.

          Take the mixture in the same microwave bowl and this time microwave it at 60% power level for 10 to 15 minutes, mixing it in between after every 2 to 3 minutes. The final product should be thick and should have a jam consistency, remove it from the microwave, mix in the lemon juice, cool and refrigerate.

Note
I cooked the jam, the second time for 15 minutes, but this is a general guidance and it could be more or less, depending on your microwave model.
The amount of sugar you add depends on the sweetness of the apples, taste the ground mixture, you can always add more sugar at this stage.

Potato And Lentils, Aloo Dal

          On weekdays, when I pack lunch, and when it's rotis, I try to make some side dish that has some protein in it, usually by adding some dal/ lentils or some form of soy, so that it's filling and doesn't make you hungry very soon. Today's dish is one such, I have cooked moong dal along with potatoes, and I have added kasuri methi which gives the dal a nice flavor. This is so easy to make, you have to only dice the potatoes and tomatoes and the entire cooking can be done in the pressure pan. This dal goes very well with pilafs, rotis or even with dosas..

Need To Have

• Potatoes - 1 cup, diced
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Moong Dal/ Split, Husked Green Gram - 1/4 cup
• Chana Dal - 4 teaspoons
• Mustard Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Dried Red Chillies - 4, broken into 2 pieces
• Asafoetida - 1/4 teaspoon
• Kasuri Methi - 2 tablespoon, crushed
• Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt to taste

Method

          Wash together the two dals and keep. Heat some oil, add the mustard and cumin seeds, when it starts spluttering, add the broken red chillies and the asafoetida and mix, immediately add the chopped potatoes and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

          Now add the kasuri methi and tomatoes and mix for another minute, then add the dals/ lentils, turmeric powder  and mix once.

          Add about 21/2 cups of water and salt, cover the pressure pan and cook. After the first whistle, reduce the heat to minimum and cook for another 6 to 7 minutes and switch off. Once the pressure is all gone, open the lid, depending on the consistency, add a little more water, or if it's very watery, cook for some more time till it becomes a little thick.

Note
Kasuri methi is dried fenugreek leaves and it's available in all Indian grocery stores.
If you don't have a pressure pan, you can do the entire cooking in a heavy bottomed pan, soak the dals for 1/2 and hour to an hour to speed up the cooking process.
Potatoes can be replaced with chayote or sorakkai/ bottle gourd/ lauki/ ridge gourd, the dish becomes more healthy.

Cooking And Frying Oils-how do They Affect Your Health?

Millions of users around the world use healthy cooking oil for frying and food preparation. There are different methods to cook food like frying, grilling, roasting, baking, etc. Out of these, frying has turned out to be the least healthy as the food absorbs all the oil in comparison to the other modes of cooking, where oil is definitely used but it is not absorbed. This does not mean food should not be fried; it depends on frying habits.

Foods cooked or fried with excess or unhealthy oil is certainly not good for health, fats that are not good for health are saturated and trans fats and the good ones are monosaturated and polysaturated ones, these fats decrease the risk of disease. Healthy Oil for frying includes oils such as canola, sunflower, olive and corn, while the bad ones include palm, kernel, cocoa butter, margarine and shortening.

Cooking oil is mostly glycerol esters or fatty acids; these can be derived from animals and plants. Oil is mostly used as a heat transfer platform to cook food. While cooking or frying, oil is heated to a certain temperature that causes a reaction like oxidation, hydrolysis, polymerisation, etc. The products that are degraded include fatty acids, triglycerides, etc, if cooking oil is heated again and again its colour will change and it will give rise to an unpleasant odour as it oxidises.

If cooking oil for frying is used for an increased duration, it will cause a lot of degradation and the toxicity of this will increase as well. There are so millions of hotels, restaurants, and food joints around the world. It is imperative that the food industry should choose cooking oil of good quality and stability, use appropriate equipment, select the most appropriate temperature for frying or cooking food, if it is used once it should be filtered to remove food particles, if the it is reused number of times, then it should be replaced.

Let's talk about trans fatty acids in brief, these fatty acids are produced if the oil is fried repeatedly, it will come from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Tran's fatty acids decrease good cholesterol (HDL) that helps to prevent blockage of arteries and increases bad cholesterol (LDL) that causes blockage of arteries. Cooking oil with high volumes of Trans fatty acids increase the risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease, gall stones, obesity.

What should be done to avoid the consumption of these oils; consumption of cooking oils for frying should be reduced, whilst other cooking methods should be used like boiling, steaming, roasting, stir frying, etc. Tran's fats are found in the following products like hydrogenated vegetable, partially hydrogenated vegetable, refined vegetable oil, butter, margarine and shortening.

Talking about pressure frying, foods like chicken tastes good when it is pressure fried in a pressure fryer as they contain lesser number of fats, in comparison to open fried foods. These pressure fryers consume less amount of cooking oil than open fryers and they cook faster at lower temperatures causing lesser number of Tran's fatty acids with low absorption.

Simply Healthy Dinner Recipes are a Breeze with a Well-Stocked Pantry

With today's hectic urban lifestyle, working professionals often resort to fast food after a busy day at the office. It's convenient but also unhealthy. Fixing dinner shouldn't have to be a chore. Even if you're no culinary whiz, simple healthy dinner recipes are possible if you have a well-stocked pantry. The idea is to avoid the need to go grocery shopping every time you cook, because it cuts through the food preparation time.

Knowing what to keep on hand makes it easy for me to cook a delicious, nutritious meal every night of the week that doesn't involve burgers, fries, pizza or anything deep-fried. The benefits of cooking my own meal over opting for take-out are fairly obvious - I control the amount of salt, fat, sugar that goes into everything as prepackaged food items contain preservatives and additives that have no business in my food or my body. Eating real food goes a long way in improving my mealtime habits.

Still confused on what to pick at the grocery? Allow me simplify things by sharing food items that could be staples in your home. Adjust it according to your family's lifestyle and eating habits and you'll be whipping up a meal in a snap.

Flours - unbleached white, wheat, rice, cake, almond

Sugars - brown, cane or beet, powdered, turbinado or demerara

Dry Pastas - a few different shapes and sizes

Grains - couscous, rice, barley, quinoa, oats, flax, cornmeal

Oils - olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, sesame oil

Vegetables - onions, potatoes, garlic

Canned/Jarred Tomatoes - sauce, diced, stewed, paste

Spreads - peanut, almond & hazelnut butters, jam, jelly

Natural Sweeteners - honey, maple syrup, agave

Vinegars - balsamic, white, red wine, apple cider, rice wine

Specialty Sauces - hot sauce, Tabasco, oyster sauce, mirin, rice wine, soy sauce

Nuts - almonds, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, coconut

Dried Fruit - raisins, apricots, dates, cherries, cranberries

Dried or Canned Beans- black, navy, pinto, kidney

Canned fish/seafood - tuna, salmon, clams, sardines, anchovies

Specialty Items - artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives

Herbs and Spices - oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, cumin, peppers and many more

Salts - kosher, sea salt, pickling salt, rock salt

Baking Ingredients - baking powder, baking soda, yeast, cream of tartar, chocolate

Extracts - vanilla, almond, lemon, peppermint

Beverages - coffee, tea, cocoa

You don't have to buy everything at once. The trick here is to consider the food items you eat regularly. Make a list of the foods you eat at least once a week because chances are you will need the same items when you replenish your stock. Build up your pantry gradually. Remember to also clean out your pantry occasionally and dispose of anything past its expiration period. A well-stocked pantry makes grocery shopping easier because you only need to buy perishable items (meat, vegetables and other fresh ingredients) and not every herb, sauce or condiment needed for a particular recipe you have in mind for dinner.

I cook from time to time so I'm pretty much familiar with the stuff I have in my kitchen. Mom says I make the best buffalo wing sauce while my raspberry vinaigrette dressing recipe is fast becoming a favorite at family gatherings. I've recently experimented with marinades using what I have in my pantry and I'm close to perfecting what I consider to be the best marinade for chicken. Now who says cooking is boring, huh?

I credit my love for the culinary arts in keeping me healthy all these years. I am now conscious of what I eat and even more with the food preparation. To eat healthy, I made healthy choices in what I eat all the time - meals and snacks. Eating a healthy, balanced diet provides me the necessary nutrients I need. These nutrients give me energy and keep my heart beating, my brain active, and my muscles working. And it's all thanks to my well-stocked pantry.
