Beauty Health for Life

You all know that am running a week of blogging marathon with traditional dishes as theme for this week and i chosed Rajasthani cuisine, already i have posted few numbers of delicious dishes from this cuisine. Seriously am amazed the variety of foods this cuisine have and each and every dish is simply awesome and definitely healthy as well as quick when compared to most of the South Indian dishes.

My todays Rajasthani dish is this aloo sabji, this is one among my recent favourite and it takes hardly less  time to get ready and goes pectly as side dish with rotis.I prepared this sabji yesterday and serve with pulkhas. Both works wonder and we had a filling and satisfying lunch sterday. The original recipe is from Madhuris space.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.

Add the cubed potatoes,salt, mix well, add a cup of water and cook in simmer for few minutes.

Put off the stove and serve with rotis.

Gatte ki Sabzi is an another interesting and a very famous side dish served along with rotis in Rajasthani houses. This dish doesnt need any veggies, no need of chopping, cutting,cleaning and all, just few garlic and grated ginger is needed and the whole recipe is prepared with simple spices,yogurt and gramflour/besan dough which is cooked and cut as medium sized thick pieces. Sounds seriously very new na, yep i had the same thought too when i saw this recipe for the first time. This Gatte ki sabzi was in my to do list  since a long and this week of blogging marathon pulled me to try this wonderful dish.

I picked this gatte ki subzi from Manjulas space and seriously i loved this fantastic dish, the ingredients and cooking process may sound bit long but once you starts cooking this dish,you will realize that this dish will go for easy cooking process. An incredible side dish for rotis, with a mild tangy taste this sabzi is one of my recent favourite from Rajasthani cuisine.Once this sabzi gets cool,it will turns thick and even i had the leftover sabzi  as a snacks. This is my second post for this weeks blogging marathon with traditional as theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.

Drain the water from the gatte rolls and keep the water beside for making the gravy.
Add the already prepared gatte pieces in it,cover and cook again for few more minutes.
