Combo Meals : Chinese Potato- Onion Bhaji served with Sorghum- Wheat- Fenugreek Leaves Spicy Poori.


“Combo Meals : Kooka- Piyava Upkari (Chinese Potato- Onion Bhaji) served with Jowar- Atta- Methi Teekha Poori (Sorghum- Wheat- Fenugreek Leaves Spicy Poori)” … poori- bhaji are soul mates always served in jodi (pairs) and together they always win hearts of people and stand out as winners … here I have prepared bhaji with kooka/ chinese potato instead of potatoes and served it with methi poori prepared with inclusion of jowar … all crisp and puffed they taste wonderful served with this bhaji which I served during lunchtime, though you can enjoy it for breakfast too … methi leaves is very good for health so try this combo while both kooka and methi leaves are in season; sure to be loved by all … Yummilicious …

** Poori Bhaji is every Indians favorite combo dish and there are plenty of combinations prepared in each home. Times have changed and poori bhaji that was almost a weekly affair stepped down to being once a fortnight, further slipped to once a month and recently in many homes it has almost comes to a stop. I always wonder were are those good days gone when we just enjoyed a few poories without worrying about other issues and trust me we were much healthier than now when we think twice before putting anything in our mouth.

** Well, I can’t resist much on fried dishes and though I have cut down on them drastically, I have not stopped it completely. I guess with changing times we have to curtail our desires after all when it comes to health, it is not something that can be bought, only we can do it for ourselves. So the wise thing would be to enjoy in limits from the very beginning there by making it a lifetime habit for all in the family. Prepared this spicy bhaji with just two veggies, brinjal and tomato and it was awesome, tastes great served with poori or roti.

** For those who do not want to deep fried dishes like poori, be it for health reasons or any other, do not worry, the same dough can be rolled out into parathas too. Again, if you want those poories, but worried about diet then just fry some as poories and go ahead with the rest of the dough rolled into parathas. That way, you can solve your poori craving too and at the same time not compromise on health too. Served either with hot poories or with parathas/ roti they taste equally good in combo.

** Sharing links to the items in picture for the recipes, as is my usual practice with combo meals posts as the dishes are individually blogged elsewhere, sorry for the inconvenience caused if any; these posts are on request to help in preparation of combo dishes at a glance only, though you may create your own serving combinations. Just go ahead, prepare them and relish with your family and friends. Both kooka/ Chinese Potato and Methi (Fenugreek) leaves are still in season, so just try this combo.
