I printed your red cabbage, red beans and beetroot recipe. Good combination of vegetables. I appreciated your method of getting to the results. So I wanted to get the food ready before my wife and children return from work in the evening.

I walked more than a mile to the supermarket to purchase the vegetables + Multigrain Flour Tortillas in place of freshly made chapatis.

In addition to the recipe vegetables, I added 2 long carrots along with the beetroot and the beetroot leaves along with the red cabbage. My julliened carrots were welcomed by your julliened Beetroots.

For serving, I lightly heated the tortillas and spread 2 tablespoons of the vegetables and 2 tablespoons of rottisiered shreded chicken + teaspoon of olive oil + the yogart.
It was the meal to remember; so said my wife and children.

Thanks for the recipe, Indira.

Hello Dominic,
Your version sounds delicious and I’m happy to read that you and family tried and liked this recipe.

I am planning a trip for 10 days and since I will be travelling with my in-laws need to pack some food for trip (I can vacuum pack using a Food Saver). Any ideas/recipes with a long shelf life will be appreciated. Some of the items on my list: idlis, teplas, onion/tomato thogaiyal, puliogare, sooji puris. Anyother ideas?

Thanks,
Sri

The spicy chilli/garlic paste paired perfectly with the sweet beets and the beans gave such a great nutty flavor. Thankfully, we had enough left over that I’ll be enjoying it again for lunch today.

I have only been cooking Indian food for the past year or so, and your site gives me added motivation to keep trying new things. I actually print out many of your recipes and recipes from other blogs and compile them in binder (hope you don’t mind). That way, I have all of these delicious homemade recipes at my fingertips. [My boyfriend, who was born and raised in India (Belgaum, Karnataka), is certainly happy to be reaping all the benefits of my new hobby too.]

Can’t wait to try out more.

Thanks again,
Amanda

I am glad to hear that you tried and liked the recipe, Amanda. Thanks for letting me know. About recipe printing, no problem at all. I also prefer paper to a webpage.
Happy cooking and I appreciate your feedback.

it seemed ok.. but.. it turned blue!!!! i felt very weird eating something blue from my plate and my husband didnt take to it much either .It didnt taste the same.

BLUE CABBAGE it was amusing and i ended up chucking the rest of it.

but i think doing it with beet might be a good idea. and we love beets

I have made so many of your recipes and my husband loves them
Can you please suggest some sandwiches with a simple spicy filling?
My husband hates any sweet filling. So, right now our every day breakfast is idly
Any good bfst ideas will also help

Keep blogging !!
