Brocolli and beans in white sauce

Here is my one more fast to cook and good to eat recipe which is also bundled with lots of green health. I have a 4 year old who keeps me busy and so I generally look for quick and tasty recipes. This one is our all time favorite dish! So enjoyy..

Ingredients:

1. One Broccoli cut into small florets

2. Green beans 1 cup boiled. Boil them for around 4 -5 minutes so they still have crunchiness.
3. Sweet corn (optional) 1/2 cup
4. One medium onion sliced
5. One green pepper cut in square pieces
6. Cornflour-2tsp
7. Milk - 1.5cup
8. Green chilli finely chopped or paste - 1tsp
9. Ginger paste - 1tsp
10 Garlic finely chopped 2 big cloves
11 Black pepper grounded 1/2 tsp
12. Salt as per taste

Method:

1. Heat oil, add garlic saute for a minute and then ginger n chilli paste. Saute on medium flame for a minute more then add sliced onions. (You can increase or decrease the amount of ginger garlic n chilli as per taste).
2. Once onions turn to light brown then add washed small florets of brocolli, boiled beans and corn. (Remember not to extra boil the beans as they would get cooked again and they should be crunchy in the end). Let it cook for 3-4 minutes. Add salt and black pepper.
3. Then add green pepper and again let it cook for 3-4 minutes.(I like this veggie crunchy so i do not overcook. If you like to cook it more you may).
4. By the time in a small bowl take 1tbsp milk and add cornflour. Mix well and add it to the vegetables. Then slowly add remaining milk and mix well. It would immediately thicken and stick to veggies. This won't be like liquid gravy and is a dry sabji.
5. Once all mixture is properly mixed cover the pan with a lid and on low to medium flame let it cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot woth roti or paratha or eat as is too :-)

Healthy Roti

Everytime we mom's struggle to give healthy food to our kids and so I thought why not add little 'health' to our regular food like everyday chapati and everyday paratha's. And so I made these Roti dough, aloo paratha dough and other paratha dough by adding beetroot and spinach puree. Trust me the taste does not change and it looks colorful and nice.

Here is the recipe for making a simple Roti dough with Palak and Beetroot.

Palak Dough:

Wash spinach and cook spinach in very little water for 2 minutes as we do not want to waste any water. Let it cool down and don't throw any water. Puree the mixture and use this to knead the dough. Use this dough normally for the soft chapati's or for making any paratha's. 

Beetroot Dough:

Cut beetroot in small pieces and cook in pressure cooker with little water for 2 whistles. Let it cool down and don't throw any water. Puree the mixture and use this to knead the dough. Use this dough normally for the soft chapati's or for making any paratha's. Above I have shown pictures of my beetroot Aloo Paratha and Beetroot masala paratha.
