Snack menu today

Working from home (which...sigh.....is not happening that much nowadays) means I have the time to do stuff, like...
Baking. Started with wanting to bake a rainbow cake but then realized I was out of food colour. I made do with orange and yellow-coloured whole wheat muffins.


And being able to plan ahead. Soak the dal and get my cook to grate the veggies for the evening snack - beetroot vadas. I love these because of the protein and vitamin kick. These don't look that fabulous (am blaming it on my camera and my photography non-skills!) but they tasted yum :)

    1. Thanks all!! Recipe is same as masala vada with some variations. I soaked chana dal for 4-5 hrs, ground coarsely, added grated beets, salt, very little finely chopped green chilly since beetroot is anyway sweet. Made balls and coated with bread crumbs and deep fried. I usually use the kuzhi-paniyaaram for such things since it uses less oil, but this time I just deep fried.
