Beauty Health for Life

Since i heard lot about the nutritious value of foxtail millet, i couldnt stop myself to get them from organic stores. I prepared recently this healthy,nutritious,super filling and satisfying upma with sweet corn kernels and foxtail millet. An excellent food to enjoy without any guilt which gets ready very quickly if you cook your foxtail millet through pressure cooker apart from it, this dish goes for usual spices.

You can enjoy this healthy upma even without any side dish eventhough i loved it with  Urad dal chutney. This foxtail millet and sweet corn upma is my third day post of blogging marathon under the theme Upmas i choosed for this second week of blogging marathon,check out the other marathoners running this 21st edition of blogging marathon here.

Fortunately i dont need to prepare lunch boxes for my kids as they come back home to have their lunch. Yep their schools are just 5-6minutes from our home by walk and they come everyday to have their lunch. In case if there is something urgent, they will eat in their school canteen or ill wrap them a sandwich. So obviously i dont need to break my head for their lunch, eventhough as am a health nut i try to feed them with healthy stuffs.

For my todays post, i quickly cooked up this flavourful,easy breezy rice with grated carrots,sweet corns and chickpeas. As i told earlier, i always have cooked or already soaked chickpeas in my freezer,so that i can add this nutritious legumes in my cooking quite often whenever i feel like having them. Coming to this rice, i just added my kids favourite veggies and chickpeas and this rice tastes fabulous with fryums or hard boiled eggs.Check out the bloggers running this 24th edition of blogging marathon here.Sending to Caroles Food on Friday-Corn.
