Desi Dal Trail

 During Pandemic, schools were shut down but the learning did not stop.

The virtual classrooms continued and children of Swami Brahmanand Prathisthan, along with their parents became active members online.

Many events were conducted on social media during the year and were appreciated immensely.

One such event was on theme- 'Ahaar' and dal was selected as the prime ingredient. Parents showed great interest in cooking dishes that involved their children in this activity.

Competition was held on Watsapp group and a great variety of dal were prepared by the parents of Special children. The event was a success and everybody wanted to know the recipes of the dal made on that day.

We are happy to share the recipes of Dals made by the parents of Special children of SBP, Centre for PWID, Belapur, and also includes recipes shared by committee members, staff and the jury members. 

The book is now available on kindle with just Rs150.

Raw Papaya Salad

 Papaya is very nutritious fruit . it contain an enzyme Papain that helps break proteins and aids digestion. Do avoid water after eating papaya, it is not good for health.

Salad made of raw papaya is very tasty because it is sweet, sour, spicy and full of flavours. It pairs well with rice and fried chicken but vegetarians can have it with cutlets.

The ingredients used are 200 gms Papaya 50 gms peanuts 3/4green chilies, 1/2cup tamarind juice 1tbsp of lime juice few kaffir lime leaves 1 chopped tomato 4/5 garlic cloves fish sauce or salt 5/6 french beans 2/3tbsp sugar.

Guar Ji Bhaji (Cluster Beans)

This is a very simple recipe with no frills and easy to follow and is quick

Cluster bean (we call it Guar in Sindhi) is full of nutrients and it helps control bloodpressure and lower the Cholesterol. 

It is bitter but when boiled and the bitter water discarded, it has sweet taste and makes a very tasty veggie to eat. To get the real taste, minimum  of masalas are used. I have used only 1tsp of Turmeric, 2tsp of Coriander powder and 2tbsp of Pomegranate seeds besides using garlic, chillies and salt. 

Love this veggie so much with just chappatis and a glass of buttermilk and this makes the most satisfying lunch

Method:

1. Wash and chop 250gms cluster beans to bite size and boil it for 15 minutes.
