Everyday dinner menu - Light and power packed

Like most homes these days, dinner is the only time for the family to sit down and eat together during the week days. Then there are varying demands to take care of. Food has to be light and easy to digest. Should include vegetables and salads. For the little one, should have sufficient fats and nutrition to ensure he is not deprived of his growing needs. Quantity has to be just enough but expandable depending on mood.

Most days, we opt for rice as it is the only time we (except kid) eat rice. However, it could be in any form. On other days, upma, handwa, sandwiches, or parathas are also made often.

I am sharing with you one such light yet power packed dinner meal.

Menu for the day

Aloo Paratha - Stuffed Roti with spicy potato mash

Spring Onion Relish - Spicy onions made instantly with roasted peanut powder

Pumpkin Bhartha (Mash) - Pumpkin and bottle gourd mash in curd

Fresh Fruits (I used Mango as it is criminal to use anything else during season at home)

Aloo Paratha

Although this is a popular breakfast item for many people, we make it for dinner many times. This recipe works for one and all in the family.

Pumpkin Bhartha

This is such easy peasy recipe. You can do variations to the tempering and the masalas. At my place we all like it so I dont really bother making a neat job. But for first time around suggest that you mash the vegetables really well to get a delightfully smooth texture. No one can spot it was this easy to make or has so little ingredients

Spring Onion Relish

A favorite and instant relish to accompany the rotis.
