Curried Rice

Just For Kiddos….

by

 

Mother’s biggest concern is cooking for their kids that is nutritious and up to their taste. The term “fussy Kid” is as terrifying as a monster. My 25 months old son is not a fussy kid but prefer nicely served food. For the Breakfast if I gave him Scrambled eggs, he wants “Bana” banana slices along with it. Sometimes I marvel on his ability to think and remember things at this age. In this post I would like to share some of my son’s favorite things-

Anytime Favorite – Instant food

Shell Pasta with Mango and Grapes.

 

1/2 cup Small Vegetable Shells – I used Eden Organic whole grain
Cook pasta as required, rinse, drain and set aside.
1/2 cup Pasta Sauce
Italian Seasoning as per taste
2 tbsp Heavy cream
1/2 cup Sauted Vegetables
Salt and pepper as per taste

 

Warm up the pasta sauce and mix all the other ingredients and its ready to serve.

Egg

Salt and Pepper
Banana Slices

 

Heat pan with few drops of oil. Whisk the egg with salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture in the pan. Break apart egg in to pieces, and cook it for 10-15 seconds. (My son prefers dry scrambled egg so sometimes I cook it for little longer time).
Serve Hot with Bread.

 

Lunch Time-

Dal Paratha with yogurt and Orange slices.

 

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Left-over Dal or dal cooked with salt and turmeric
Oil For Cooking

Combine Left-over dal or cooked dal in the W.Wheat flour and knead in to smooth and soft dough with the help of enough water.Divide the dough in to equal portions. Roll out each portion in to circle or shape of your choice. Cook it in a skillet with little oil on medium heat until you see brown spot on both sides.

Egg Curry With Curried Rice

by

I decided to make Egg curry for my husband one evening. Egg curry means left-overs for me. Somehow I’m not able to develop taste for this curry. While I was making it I realised amount of curry is too much for 3 eggs. Then and there I decided to make Curried Rice.
EGG CURRY
Ingredients
  • 5 Boiled Eggs
  • 1 Chopped Onion
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 inch piece of ginger
  • 1 green chili (u can add more if want spicy)
  • 1/4 cup Tomato Puree
  • 3 tbsp  yogurt
  • Masala- Turmeric, coriander, roasted jeera pd, chili pd, garam masala, salt
Method
  • Fry Boiled eggs in hot oil until light brown in color. Keep them aside to cool.
  • Grind onion, garlic, ginger and green chilies in to a smooth paste.
  • Heat oil, add onion-garlic paste and fry till golden brown.
  • Add all the masalas fry for sometime and add tomato puree in it.
  • Fry till you can see oil on the edges.
  • Add yogurt mixed in a cup of water (if making curried rice later add 2 cups of water 🙂 ) and boil on a medium flame. (stir in between if necessary)
  • Cut the eggs in to halves (vertically) and add them in to gravy.
  • Simmer it for 5 minutes or until it reached to the thickness of your choice.

Tip- After mixing yogurt if u see little chunks of it in the gravy or if the gravy is not smooth, Blend it in the blender before adding eggs.
