Radish or मुळा as we call in Marathi is nutritious as well as delicious. It's taste can be little bit overpowering for some then it's really good for your health. Radish greens are totally and completely edible and it also has all the nutrition that any green leafy vegetable has.  Some of it's health benefits are, it increases immunity, it is also said that it prevents diabetes, it has essential minerals and vitamins that helps to fight fatigue.  In Indian kitchen radish can be used to make stir fry or in parathas.

 Mushrooms are low in calories and sugar and packed with nutrition. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants along with vitamin D. Mushrooms are super food for vegetarians as they can be replaced with meat. They do come in lot of variety like crimini, white button mushrooms, portabello, shitake, oyster and lot more.  Frankly speaking I had never eaten mushrooms growing up in India. I was introduced to them when I came here to US, though my husband devours it as he has been eating them since childhood and so does my elder son. Me and my younger son  not a big fan but we can eat them.  Today's recipe is matar mushroom magic. I have added paneer to this recipe as paneer makes everything special :) and plus I can pick and eat more paneer than mushroom 😉😀 Just a note that I got my mushrooms from Costco so they were huge. Ingredients 8 large or 1 regular sized packet white mushrooms 1 small onion chopped  1 small tomato chopped 1/2 inch ginger grated...

 Saag Paneer is a traditional Punjabi delicacy that is eaten in winter. The reason behind eating sarson ka saag in winter is very simple, it helps keep our body warm plus it is packed with micronutrients and antioxidants. Traditionally it is made with mixture of sarson(which is called as mustard greens), spinach and bathua(another winter leafy vegetable) but living in the US it is hard to find bathua, at least I have never seen it in the store where I shop. So adjustments had to made to enjoy this beautiful delicacy by using whatever greens I can find.  Greens that are used in today's recipe is mustard greens(the star ingredient), methi leaves and spinach. But I think you can also add any greens that is available like green swiss chard, collard greens. Let's get started! Ingredients 1 bunch mustard greens 1 small bunch spinach or 5 oz prewashed baby spinach 1/2 bunch methi leaves or a handful of methi 1 green chili 5 garlic cloves roughly chopped 1 inch ginger roughly chopped ...

This post is all about garden to kitchen to pan. We have planted good amount of veggies this year. Our regulars are cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, chili peppers, indian bitter melon(which is called as Karela) etc. This year we also planted  beets, carrots, radishes, amaranth....and the list goes on....                                                          Growing up I never had beetroot greens, though we use to eat actual beetroot in variety of ways, just boiled or in salads, raita or even parathas. Did a bit of research about beetroot greens and found out that they are actually packed with nutrients, rich in vitamins and antioxidants and zero cholestrol and fat.  The greens that were growing looked so fresh and crisp, I had to try using them in one of my recipes. I decided to make it same way as any greens and it came out pretty go...
