dal dosa with chutney in serving plate - dal dosa recipe
Bele dose is a guilt free breakfast dish prepared with bengal gram (chana dal ), husked split green gram (moong dal), husked split black gram (urad dal ) and semolina (rava). Yogurt is added just to give a sour taste to the dosa. Urad dal and rice dosa is  a common breakfast dish in South India. But, this mixed lentils dosa is an interesting alternative to usual urad dal and  rice dosa. This is a healthy breakfast dish which provides both proteins and energy. Consuming  2 -3 dosas for breakfast,  provide sufficient energy balance till lunch.

Hariyali chole masala recipe

Hariyali chole masala recipe - Today I am going to share a delicious hariyali chole masala recipe which goes great with parathas, theplas, phulka, roti, pulao or even rice.  This is an easy to prepare side dish which I make often and very different from the usual chana masala.
This hariyali chole masala is a delicious combination of  kabuli chana, green corianders and fresh coconut. We enjoyed it with  hot methi theplas along with crisp papads, curd and mango pickle. This recipe is a mix of both South Indian and North Indian style.  The combination of coconut with chickpeas is particularly South  Indian, while the use of coriander leaves  and spice powder is very North Indian. In India, chickpeas are one of the most important and popular legumes used to prepare various dishes like kadbuli chana masala, punjabi chole, chana usal, chana curry, salads and so on.
