Round up of Kid's Delight Event

Wow this has been an eventful May for me.  We had a double Bank holiday this month and the children had time off from school too so we haven't really stopped to relax at all.  We've had get togethers with friends and relations, enjoyed the street parties for the Royal wedding, we've had Easter Egg hunt and to top it all we had the Euro Vision Song Party.  With all this fun, I've not had much time for blogging.

Some of you will recall that Srivalli from spicing your life started an event called Kid’s delight. It’s being hosted each month by a new blogger. I had the pleasure of hosting this wonderful event from 16 April 2011 until 15 May 2011 where bloggers were asked to  create and send in Healthy Vegetarian and Colourful recipe using fruit and vegetable. I received 45 exciting entries and I had real fun visiting all these blogs and looking at everyone's different styles of cooking. I was also amazed at the variety of food families prepare for their children. It doesn't matter which part of the World we live in, all of us are keen to make sure that our children eat good healthy and balanced food I present these entries in no partcular order. If I have missed out any entries - I sincerely apologise. Please get in touch and I'll make sure your entry is included in this Round up.

Mooli (Daikon) curry (Moora nu khariyu)

This Mooli curry (called mura nu khariyu) is really a very traditional gujarati recipe.  My father in law used to love this dish so we have got into the habit of making it regularly.  This is a quick dish which is quite an acquired taste.  Mooli's are usually used for making stuffed Mooli parathas or eaten raw in a salad.   Mooli tastes very much like a radish.  More information about Mooli is here

Ingredients for 2 -3  servings: 

One bunch of small baby mooli ( the bunch usually has 5 to 6 moolis with leaves)

2 tablespoon cooking oil

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon turmeric

½ teaspoon chilly powder ( you can add a bit more if like hot food)

2 tablespoons of chick pea flour

½ teaspoon cumin seeds

Method:

1.  For this recipe, you use the mooli with the leaves.

2.  Wash and clean the mooli.  

3.  Peel the mooli  using a potato peeler.

4.  Either grate the mooli or chop it finely.  The leaves too have to be chopped finely.

5.  Heat the oil in a frying fan and add the cumin seeds.  

7.  Once they go darker, add the chopped and grated mooli together with the spices and stir well. 

8.  Stir-fry the vegetables until they are soft. 

9.  You will notice that once the mooli is cooked, there will be a bit of gravy remaining.  Add the chick pea flour to this and stir.  I would suggest adding one tablespoon and checking whether you need to add the second one as you don't want the curry to be too dry. 

10.  Turn the heat to low and stir in the chick pea flour and allow it to blend in and cook.   This would only take a couple of minutes. 

11.  Once ready, remove and serve with hot  chappatis.
