Green is Good!!

Hello good people,


Everyone knows that I’m a meat lover person. But there are few veggie recipes I’ll choose over meat if given choice. I’m planning to cover all my favorite vegetarian preparations under this tag. So animal-lover people, this is your den!

Today’s menu is a combo. Kinda mismatching one, but super-delicious.


Palak paratha with stuffed bhindi




You will need :


Palak (spinach) : 1 bunch , Washed, cleaned, chopped

Garlic: 4-5 cloves, crushed

Chilies: 2-3, finely chopped

Coriander : 2-3 spoons, finely chopped

Besan (Gram flour) : 2-3 spoons

Aata (all purpose flour) : 4-6 spoons

Turmeric, chilly powder, cumin powder

Oil and salt


Heat oil and put garlic, chilies, turmeric, cumin powder and chilly powder to it. After a minute, put chapped spinach and coriander. Add salt to taste. Cover with lid. Let the spinach cook in its own water. Once the spinach is cooked, let it cool for 15-20 minuets.

Add besan and aata to cooked spinach and knead well. Add salt or oil if needed.

Let the dough set for another 10-15 minutes.

Roll parathas and roast them nicely. Use oil or ghee while roasting.



Stuffed Bhindi


You will need:


Bhindi (Okra) : 8-10, washed and dried

GG paste: 1spoon

Groundnut powder: 3-4 spoon

Chilly powder, cumin powder, coriander powder

Lemon juice: 3-4 drops

Salt, water

Oil to fry


Make deep slit on each bhindi lengthwise. Mix rest of the ingredients to form paste. Use water for desired consistency.

Stuff each bhindi neatly and let it set for 5 mins.

Heat oil in a pan and sauté the stuffed okra. Cover for first 3-4 minutes. Once the okra is cooked, remove lid and let it roast till you see brown crispy outside.





Serve these two items with curd. Happy eating!!
