Soft & Spongy Dosa With Urad Dal Flour#SundayFunday

I wanted to make dosa for breakfast so the previous day I washed the rice, kept it for soaking. Took out the box of urad dal, there was only 1/4 cup of lentils in it. Since I had already soaked the rice, I used urad dal flour which is always ground at home. Voila .... a new recipe came in to being. The dosa's were so soft, spongy and had a natural sweet taste. The color of the dosa were not white like when you grind lentils, it has a light brown color, see pics. Let's see how I made these dosa's!
Ingredients
3 Cups Sona Masuri Rice
1 Cup Urad Dal Flour
½ Cup Poha powder
½ Cup Idli Rawa
1 Teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
½ Teaspoon Heaped Sea Salt
A Pinch Of Baking Soda

Method
Wash and soak the rice with methi seeds for two hours. After two hours drain the water and grind it to fine paste. Then in the same blender as you are grinding the rice little by little add the flour of the urad, poha and blend till it bubbles. Like wise grind all the flour and rice.
Pour this batter in a large vessel/pot add the salt and baking soda mix very well with you hand. Keep this to ferment overnight. This batter will not rise like the normal dosa batter. You will see large bubble and will be slightly risen. In the morning add the idli rawa and give it a very good mix. Keep this aside for minimum 2 hours. After 2 hours heat a non stick pan /dosa pan on medium low flame.
Brush a non stick with oil, pour a ladle full of batter into the center of the pan and spread it by rotating the pan. Do not use the spoon to spread the batter. Place a lid and keep the flame high for a minute. Then reduce the flame to low and let it cook till done and the bottom is light brown. Flip it and cook it for a minute only. Take it on to a serving plate.
Enjoy with Potato Sabzi and Red Coconut Chutney

Healthy & Oil Free Veg Rutabaga And Carrot Soup#SundayFunday

Rutabaga is called Shalgam in India. Shalgam is a member of the radish family that tastes much milder and sweet, is a winter is a root vegetable. This is the first time I have cooked shalgam. For me shalgam and turnip / kohlrabi / navalkol in Marathi are two different vegetables. Turnip is light green and shalgam is white with a pink band. I found shalgam/ rutabaga to be sweet.   
I,  may be wrong, correct me if someone has the exact information on these two vegetables. I, was grown up eating homegrown turnips / navalkol.  Hence, I could see the difference in taste and color. 

This is a very healthy, oil free, vegan and gluten free soup.  Its so delicious , since rutabaga has a sweet taste.  
Serves 3
Ingredients

2 Medium Rutabaga  - diced
1 Large Carrot - diced
1 Large Onion - finely diced
6 Cups Vegetable stock
Salt and Black pepper to taste

Method 
In a large pot / pan add all the above ingredients except salt and pepper. Bring it to a rolling boil, then reduce the flame and cover the pot, let the veggies soften. Let it simmer for an hour or till the soup should also reduces to 4 cups.
When the soup reduces to 4 cups turn the heat off and let the soup cool a little before blending it. I used the immersion / stick blender. Place it back on low flame add salt and pepper to taste. Let it come to boil.  
Serve it warm with a dash of pepper and few basil leaves.

Carnivore Meatzza- Cooked Meat Crust Pizza#Alphabet Challenge

Meatzza, a meat-crust pizza, is wonderfully flavorful and ideal for those on a low-carb or keto diet. With a delicious meaty base and lots of cheesy goodness, you won't miss the doughy crust! 
It's great for getting all those yummy pizza flavors without overdoing it on carbs. Anb if you flatten the meat well and bake it long enough, you can eat this meaty keto pizza with your hands, just like real pizza!

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty keto pizza. Mince beef should be lean, 85 to 15 fat content. Do not use a leaner mix, or else the pizza would be very dry.
It’s important to make the meat crust as thin as possible. To spread the meat out, cover it with a piece of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it very thin. The meat crust shrinks quite a bit as it bakes.

Ingredients
500 Grams Lean Beef Mince - cooked
2 Eggs
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Dried Oregano
¼ Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder
For The Topping
½ Cup Sugar Free Pizza Sauce - I used Homemade
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Or Pizza Cheese
Pepperoni Slices

Method 
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line the baking pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a mixer jar or a food processor add all the ingredients and run it for a minute or two only. Remove this on a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of cheese, mix well.
On the prepared baking sheet, flatten the ground beef into a very thin, large circle – make it as thin as you can (⅛-inch thick is good), using my fingers to spread it evenly so that it covers the pan and forms a thin crust. Then cover it with a parchment paper and use a rolling pin to make it evenly on all sides.
Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven until fully cooked for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and switch the oven to broil.
Spread the meat base with pizza sauce. Add the pepperoni slices. Then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven and broil just until the cheese is melted and crisps up the meaty edges.
Allow the meatzza to rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
Slice it into 8 triangles and serve. 
This a delicious and filling pizza with hardly any carbs.
