Santa Fe Wraps

Wraps are more convenient to eat if compared with sandwiches. Don't get me wrong I love sandwiches as much as I love wraps. In wraps all the ingredients are tucked inside tortilla and rolled, so you don't have to worry about ingredients falling out like in a sandwich. Today's wrap recipe is inspired by Mexican cuisine. Grilled veggies and salsa make these wraps tastes ohh so good. 
Ingredients
6 burrito size flour tortilla
2 Zucchini diced
1 small green pepper diced
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 jalapeno diced
Store bought salsa as required or Click here for home made salsa recipe(Get hot salsa if you are a spicy eater)
1 cup canned black bean
Sour cream as required
Mexican cheese as required
Hot sauce as required

Method
Preheat oven for 375 F. Grill Zucchini, corn, green pepper and Jalapeno pepper for 15 minutes or until slightly charred.
Next step is pretty easy, you just need to spread all the ingredients on a tortilla and roll it into a burrito.  The order that I follow is, first goes the hot sauce, next add grilled veggies followed by salsa, sour cream and finally cheese. Fold two opposite sides and roll upwards to make a a burrito. 

Cut in half and enjoy! Serve it with some salsa and chips. Follow the same procedure for remaining tortillas to make more wraps.

This is a typical Maharashtrian koshimbir or salad recipe. It is a simple side dish which can be eaten with roti or just as a salad.

Kulith Pithla(कुळीथ पिठलं )

पिठलं/pithla is a comfort food for most of the Maharashtrian  people. Pithla made from chickpea flour is more common than Kulith Pithla. Many Maharashtrian people are unaware of kulith pithla. English name for kulith is horse gram. In Kokan region kulith is more popular, it is used to make pithla as well as उसळ . Kulith powder is easily available in market in India. I have looked for it here in US but still no luck, have to get it from India every time I visit. For some people it takes time to adjust to its nutty and strong flavor. When you need a quick bite of comfort food, Kulith pithla will certainly satisfy your taste buds and plus it will come together in minutes. Serve it hot with white rice or पोळी/roti.

Guide to Green Leafy Vegetables

 The idea for this post came from one of my dear friend. She one day asked me what kind of green leafy vegetables you make. I said to her that I make quite a few. She suggested why don't I post pictures and names of the leafy vegetables that we get here in US. I liked her idea and started writing this post. Just a note that I have mentioned only the ones that I have used in my kitchen. There are plenty of leafy greens out there to try! In marathi we call all leafy greens as पालेभाज्या. My mom makes variety of greens but living in US we might not get all of them as in India. I shop for groceries in a Korean store but they carry all Indian vegetable variety plus all other Indian groceries.  I tried some new leafy greens and tried to make Indian/Marathi style recipes. I have listed names of few greens that I normally cook with.
