Leftover Recipe - Healthy Sauce for Spaghetti

After eating oily food for so many days I thought of having something very light lunch so I made carrot- corn soup (already shared recipe). This time I made it little thick so that it can fit in the lunch. I had 2 cups of left over soup, so I thought of making spaghetti in red sauce and use that soup in it.

I boiled my thick soup by adding 1 teaspoon of  corn flour dissolved in water. It helps to thicken the sauce and then you can add the spices and flavor as per your choice and your red sauce for spaghetti is ready. It's healthy because it is made without oil!!!!

Tip of the day- Frozen Chickoo

It is very hard to get fresh chickoo in United States. We always get it in powder form or frozen. I and my husband are very fond of chickoo milk shake. When we had our vacation in India I saw my mother has frozen chickoo pieces for me so that I can enjoy my favorite drink anytime.

To make frozen  chickoo, wash chickoo and peel of the skin. Remove seeds from it. Make pieces of your choice and put in airtight container and freeze it. They stay good for a month.

To make Sabudana Khichadi you will need :-

2-1/2 cups of sabudana

Take a bowl and add sabudana to it and immediately add half cup water and allow it to sit for half an hour. Your sabudana will get soaked quickly. Then take a pot and add oil to it. Heat up oil. Add cumin seeds to it, then add raw peanuts and green chilies and roast them properly. Add diced boiled potatoes and sesame seeds to it and saute it for a minute or so. Add sabudana, lemon juice and sugar and mix well. Cover it with lid and then cook it for a minute or so on low flame. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with raita or plain yogurt.
