Savoury Pancakes

It may look like another kind of dosa, but it is actually savoury pancake. My husband does not like the sweet American pancakes, so at home we do an Indian savoury version of the pancakes. Its very healthy and he hogs them down when he is back from a long run.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 small carrot, grated
3-4 french beans finely chopped
1/2 small onion finely chopped
4-5 spinach leaves finely chopped
milk + water  mixture to prepare the batter
Mix flours (maida+atta+roasted oats grounded+ragi)
Salt to taste
Red chili powder to taste
Black pepper powder to taste

Recipes:
Break both eggs and whisk them for couple of min. Add the vegetables and spices.
Mix the flours, add milk+water mixture as per requirements. Prepare batter with dosa  like consistency. Prepare thin dosa like pancakes. Serve hot with tomato and chili sauce.

Green Egg Curry

Sometimes it so boring to follow a certain receipe. I was so bored of perparing and eating same onion-tomato gravey that I thought of inventing some new gravy type. So I just powdered all the spices I like with some herbs and voila I got a new kind of gravey. Though I am giving receipe here, you can replace the spcies with whatever you like.   
Ingredients:

4 Hard boiled eggs
2 tsp oil
salt to taste

For gravey
2 medium size onion fried
10-15 strands of corriander leaves
1/4 cup tomato puree
1-2 tsp grated coconut
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste (optional)
Spice powder: 1/2 tsp Ajwain + 1/4 star anise + 1/2-1 tsp cumin seeds + 1/2 tsp saunf + 1 small elaichi + pinch of shahjeera + 1/2" of cinnamon grind everything together


Receipe:
It is very simple. Just grind together every element mentioned under "For gravey".
In a kadhai, heat oil. Add the gravey paste and fry till its cooked. Next add water and eggs and boil till gravey thickens.
Serve hot with roti.
