Morinings are usually very busy and on top of that when husband is out of station its even more busier as I have to undertake his responsibilities too like waking the kids up, checking on them if they are getting ready on time and dropping them at school. Today was one such day. I made protein rich lunch box for kids today. I opt for one pot meals on days like these.. They are quick and hassle free. So I made green chana rice and minced mealmaker sandwich! How do your mornings change when husband goes out? let me know. Recipe: Chana Rice: In a pressure cooker add 1tbsn oil, jeera, green elaichi, 2 cloves, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 1 black elaichi, 1 star anise and a bay leaf. Then add I fine chopped onion and garlic paste and cook until the onions are translucent. Curd Mixture: 2tbsn curd, daniya powder, kasuri methi, Kashmiri lal mirch powder, Garam masala, haldi. whisk and mix well until all the lumps are gone. Once the onions are cooked add the curd mixture and keep stirring until a boil comes. Then add boiled channa. I took green channa but any whole lentil like kabuli chana, black chana, rajma, lobia are fine... I store boiled lentils in freezer so they are very handy. Mix everything well add washed rice to it, mix well and add 1:2 ratio of water. Add salt as required and pressure cook it for 3 whistles. Tasty and Yummy chana rice is ready. Minced Mealmaker Sandwich: Soak few soya chunks or mealmaker for 5 to 10 mins in hot water along with salt. Then wash them thoroughly until the foam stops coming. Then in a manual chopper mince these soya chunks finely. In a bowl add fine chopped onions, garlic, Minced soya and 1tb curd and for spices add, pavbhaji masala, coriander powder, salt, haldi, Kashmiri red chilli powder. Now mix everything well. I am stuffing it in bread slices to make a sandwich, the same stuffing can be used for dosas, chapatis, idlis too. I am spreading some schezwan sauce on the bread slice for that spicy quotient you can add green chutney or mayo too. grill them on pan or cook them in sandwich maker... they taste yummy! #recipe #protein #lunch #lunchbox #morning #morningroutine #food #cooking #trending #viralshorts #shorts
