 Healthy spinach & oats ka chila

Since yesterday I was contemplating what I should make for breakfast. The only criteria I had in mind was that it should be healthy. Of all the options I had, besan chila stood out for me this time. I wanted to make it. But how do I make the traditional besan chila more healthy? I came up with this recipe. A little bit of mix and match..and voila!! :)

Brown Rice Mushroom Pulav & Egg Curry


Brown Rice Mushroom Pulav & Egg Curry

My hubby loves egg curry and has always asked me to make it for him, however I was not very confident that I could pull it off. I kept postponing this, much to the dismay of my husband. I knew he secretly hoped that I would surprise him one fine day. Well today was that one fine day! :)
While browsing through the internet for healthier vegetarian meal options which is high in protein as well, I stumbled upon mushroom biryani. My mind started working overtime on how to turn this recipe into a healthy one. I decided to use brown rice instead of white, I added more veggies and cooked it in just 1 tbsp of oil. Now I wanted to make some accompaniment to go with this and that is when it hit me - Egg curry! It was like now or never, I had to make it today. Specially when one is trying to loose weight, eat healthy, you really want to eat something tasty as well to keep you motivated. I immediately called up my friend in India and asked her to share their family recipe for making egg curry. I tweaked it a little depending on the spices available with me.
