Vegetarian Keema Roll

Keema means any kind of minced meat. We had these rolls at my friends house and loved it and so made these again at home the other day. They are somewhat similar to Sloppy Joe's but unlike sloppy Joe's these vegetarian rolls are not 'messy' to eat. I have used soya granules instead of meat for making perfect Keema. I got Ruchi brand soya granules. They come in 3 variety i.e chunks, mini chunks and granules so make sure you buy granules. Onions, tomatoes and chili's are finely chopped and sauteed with soya granules to make this delicious keema. It is also good to eat with Roti. I have used Italian sub rolls as they are perfect to hold that heavy filling.

Ingredients
1 1/2 Cup Soya Granules(cooked according to package instructions)
3 garlic cloves crushed
2 inch ginger grated
1 tbsp Canola oil
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium tomato chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3-4 green chili's chopped
1 tbsp Meat masala(Got it from Indian store, any brand is fine)
1 1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 cup ketchup
Salt as per taste
Chopped cilantro for garnishing

Method
Heat oil in a large pan, saute onions along with garlic and ginger until onions are light golden brown. Add green peppers and chili's and saute again. Next add chopped tomatoes. Once tomatoes are nice and soft and oil starts separating add meat masala, garam masala and ketchup. Mix everything nicely and saute for few more minutes. Add cooked soya granules and saute once again. Lastly add chopped cilantro. Keema is ready.
Slit open the sub rolls and fill it with keema and enjoy your vegetarian version of keema.

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.

Ragi Kheer/नाचणीची खीर

Ragi is a power grain which has wonderous amount of health benefits. It is rich in calcium, iron, protein and fiber to name a few. It is also known as Finger Millet or Nachnai in some parts. Ragi flour is made from this powerful grain and can be used in variety of ways. It can be used to make roti, bhakri, sweet kheer, thalipeeth, dosas, cakes, cookies and so on and so forth. Even with its immense health benefits I feel we still haven't really embraced Ragi in our day to day diet. Todays recipe is a sweet preparation of ragi flour. It is actually a very good option for breakfast or post workout meal. I added some nuts for crunch on top but it is completely optional. This recipe will serve one. Ingredients 1 tbs Ragi Flour 1 tsp Ghee/Clarified Butter 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup milk 1 tbs Jaggery For toppings chopped toasted mixed nuts like almonds, pecans or walnuts(optional) Also golden raisins for toppings(optional) Method In a pan melt ghee and add ragi flour on low...
