Chickpea Salad /Channa Salad


Salads are easy to make,filling and its a healthy meal.As we prefer salads with legumes I make this simple chickpea salad often.Its a great option for dieting as it has protein and low in calorie.

This is one such colorful salad with the crunchiness of veggies with the flavor of ginger.Here I used black pepper powder,ginger and lemon juice for a simple dressing.The veggies can be altered as per personal preference.

    Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

    Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
