200 Grams  Homemade Paneer -  grated 

3-4. Green Olives, cut in thick slices 

3-4, Black Olives, cut in small rounds 

1-2 Teaspoons Milk or Water  - See Notes

½ Cup Tomato Sauce or Ketchup - See Notes 

Oil for greasing hands 

Method

Cut green olives in thick slices and black olives in small rounds. Fit black olives in the green olives slices.  

Grate paneer and knead a soft dough by adding very little milk, as required. 

Grease hands with oil and make paneer balls and flatten them slightly. 

Carefully at any blood red color sauce on top of the balls.  

Now add the olives to look like retina rings. 

Serve as a snack or and appetizers to kids and adults in your Halloween party or place them in on a bed of Blood Red Tomato Sauce!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

My Notes

Since I have used sugar free homemade Tomato Sauce add a tablespoon fresh beetroot paste to get that bloody red color to the sauce.

If you are making the balls with homemade paneer there is no need to add water or milk while making the balls.

What is Arbi? Arbi is Taro root / Colocasia plant root. Arbi or Arvi as some call it here has many benefits. It's a fiber-rich food. It's dietary fiber helps to maintain the blood sugar level and potassium in it helps in heart health. Hence it is helpful in diabetes management. Helps to improve digestive health. Arbi, being rich in fiber content makes your stomach feel fuller for longer hours and reduces the number of calories intake throughout the day.

Oats and Apple pancake with, maple syrup
Fluffy gluten free apple pancakes that you can make in your blender!

Makes 6 Pancakes
Ingredients
1 Cup Oats
1 Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Grated Apple
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
A Pinch of Salt

Method

In blender pulse the oats till powdered then add rest of the ingredients, except for the grated apple in the blender. Blend until it forms a smooth batter, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Remove this batter into a bowl, stir in the grated apple and mix it well.

Heat a skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, lightly brush the surface with butter.
Take a 1/3 measure cup, fill it with batter and pour this into the pan. Since it's quite thick , spread it lightly into a circle. Let the pancake cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium low flame . Be patient, these pancakes take a little longer to cook.

Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides on medium low flame. Repeat with remaining pancakes.

Serve them immediately with maple syrup.
