Cracked Wheat Tomato Bhath

          At home, everyone likes tomato rice or tomato bhath or briyani. As usual I always try to replace rice wherever possible with cracked wheat or quinoa, at the same time not compromising much on the taste.

Cracked Wheat And Spinach Idli

          I was telling my daughter the other day, that when I was in school, most of the days my breakfast used to be idlis and some days I had taken that for lunch too, and how I used to be bored with them. My daughter replied, saying that I was very lucky, that I had idlis every day, she's one big idli fan, she even went one step further, saying that she would go on an idli marathon for a week. This being the case, I make idlis very often, but try to make some variation in them, one such is this cracked wheat idli. I added some spinach and chana dal to make it more interesting and more nutritious..

Cracked Wheat Sakkarai Pongal

          Sakkarai Pongal is a favorite dish in our house, especially my daughter really loves it. Although it's loaded with calories from the ghee added, at least jaggery is better than white sugar. Usually it's made only with raw rice, but I replaced it with cracked wheat, making it a little more healthier, so enjoy it, a little guilt-free this Pongal..
