Gnocchi in pesto sauce is one of my favourite Italian dish.

Moong Dal Paratha (Split Green Gram)

Children who don't like to eat pulses in gravy form, this recipe works best for them. This way you can feed them protein in form of paratha along with vegetable. The combination is perfect.

Yellow Moong Dal Puri

Moong Dal puri can be served as a tea-time snack or your child's tiffin snack.

Recipe Source: Etv Gujarati
Ingredients:

20-30 gms yellow moong dal
1 cup wheat flour
1tsp asafoetida (hing)
1 tsp roasted cumin seeds (jeera)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp red chilli powder (optional)
2 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
2 tbsp oil
salt to taste
water to knead
oil for frying

Method:
  1. Soak yellow moong dal for about 30 minutes
  2. In a bowl, mix all the above mentioned ingredients and make a hard dough for puri by adding water as needed. 
  3. Now, roll the dough into small rounds. Prick them with a fork all over so the puris do not puff when frying. Deep fry them until golden brown. 
  4. Store these puris in an air tight container for about 10-15days.
