How to make Paleo Pakora

Paleo pakora is crispy, golden, battered, and pan-fried vegetables with awesome flavor. They’re similar to a classic onion ring but somehow better. And you can use just about any vegetable you have on hand. However, I’ve found this combo to be best. Lets jump over to this awesome recipe..

Ingredients

PAKORAS

  • 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced lengthwise)
  • 2 cups chopped cauliflower (or small florets)
  • 5 Baby potatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 50 gm paneer (cubes small/lengthwise slice)
  • Salt as per taste
  • Lal mirch powder as per taste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 Tbsp chopped corriander leaves

COATING

  • 2 cups chickpea (aka besan or gram) flour
  • 1 cup water (plus more as needed)

OIL FOR COOKING

  • 1 cup oil for frying 

Method

  • Add onion, cauliflower, paneer and potato to a large mixing bowl and season with salt, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder and chopped coriander. Toss and set aside.
  • To a separate mixing bowl, add chickpea flour and water and stir until a pourable, pancake-like batter is achieved. Then pour over the vegetables and toss to coat. There should be plenty of batter to generously coat the vegetables. If not, mix together bit more batter and pour over the vegetables.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium high heat. Once hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and let the oil warm. Add the coated vegetables one at a time, grouping the onions together in small bunches so they cook together. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. If cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium / medium-low. Repeat.
  • Serve these hot pakoras with chutney of choice.

How to make Paleo Roti

Paleo roti !! Yes you heard it correct in this article we will discuss the recipe of paleo roti. Chapati or Roti, is a staple of Indian cuisine. Although rice is more commonly eaten in a typical southern Indian household,  whole wheat rotis do have an important place too.  Nowadays, people are moving more to multigrain atta. You can also use multigrain atta to make wholesome parathas and rotis.

Paleo roti is a boon for those suffering from IBS/IBD or wants a gluten free diet. You cant eat curries like a soup.  That’s why we came up with the idea of paleo roti.

 They taste great both with wet curries as well as dry sabzis (sautéed vegetables). Gluten free and grain free rotis that are soft with a wonderful texture. Goes well with Indian curries!

INGREDIENT –

  • ⅔ cup cassava/Tapoica flour
  • ⅓ cup water chestnut flour (Singhara aata)

  • 1-2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup hot water
  • extra cassava flour for dusting
  • 1 tbsp

METHOD –

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the cassava flour, water chest nut flour, salt and the oil.
  2. Place a kettle filled with water on the stove to heat. Let it come to boil and then turn heat off.
  3. Immediately measure 1 cup of this hot water and pour it into the bowl carefully. Use a spatula to mix the hot water into the flour mixture. After a few seconds of mixing, test how hot the mixture is by slowly placing a finger into the bowl. Once the mixture is cool enough to be handled (should be still warm), use your hands to knead the dough and make a smooth dough. Add the additional 1-2 tbsp of olive oil as needed to make the dough smooth (should not be sticky). Divide the dough into small balls (about 10)
  4. Flatten each dough ball and then using a rolling pin flatten this ball to make a round (about 4 inches dia).
  5. Heat a cast iron (or non stick) skillet or pan and when hot turn heat to medium.
  6. Place the rolled chapati onto the hot pan. Let cook for 1 min and flip to the other side. Now press the chapati with a flat spatula and as you press it , it will start puffing up from all sides. Let cook for 1 more min and then transfer to a tray. If using ghee, apply a small dollop of ghee over the top of the chapati.
  7. Repeat the process for making more rotis as needed. (You can refrigerate the remaining dough for up to 2 days)

How to make low FODMAP Sweet and Sour Chicken

Sweet and sour chicken – This chicken recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed by anyone who is on Low Fodmap diet. People can basically eat zero things from an average Chinese takeaway and then the whole situation just becomes really awkward. Should they not order from there? Should they make their own food? etc. So here we come with an extreme healthy version of Low FODMAP Chinese recipe. Now Lets jump over the recipe..

INGREDIENTS  

  • 2 chopped chicken breasts
  • 250ml oil

FOR THE BATTER

  • 60g gluten-free flour
  • 30g corn flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 150ml water

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 150ml ketchup use low FODMAP ketchup if needed
  • 70ml white rice vinegar (optional) can use normal vinegar as well

  • 2 green onions
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 green pepper chopped into squares

  • Mix your chopped chicken breast in the gluten-free batter mix until well coated and put to one side.
  • Time to heat your oil.
  • Heat this at a medium heat just drop a little batter in occasionally to check – if it sizzles and browns, it’s good to go. If it sizzles but doesn’t brown, it’s not hot enough.

Why Eggs are good option for low FODMAP diet ?

Egg is on the list of foods you’re allowed to have on the low-FODMAP diet. Eggs help because they’re rich in proteins and nutrients and very low in fermentable carbohydrates. This means they are less likely to cause symptoms.

Are fried eggs low FODMAP ?

Fried eggs are low FODMAP even when you fry them in butter, olive oil, or other vegetable oils. Generally, fats and oils are low in FODMAPs because they contain few carbohydrates and sometimes none.

You can still enjoy your delicious fried egg on a low FODMAP diet. The best way to eat a fried egg is to ensure that you cook it all done. Try to avoid sunny-side eggs and runny yolks because proteins that are not fully cooked can cause GI health problems.

It is best to avoid butter for fried eggs on a low FODMAP diet with lactose intolerance. Even though butter is not high in FODMAP, butter is not a good idea if you have lactose allergies. If you are extremely sensitive and need to avoid all fats and oils, you can make poached eggs or fry your eggs in a little bit of water with a non-stick skillet.

Ingredients –

  1. 4 Egg whole
  2. 2 Tomato (small sized)
  3. 1 tsp Olive oil
  4. One tbsp Parsely
  5. 1 tbsp Basil

What is a low-FODMAP diet?

FODMAP is an acronym for a certain class of carbohydrates, called fermentable short-chain carbohydrates, which are more difficult for people to digest. (The full acronym stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols.) The low-FODMAP diet temporarily restricts these carbohydrates in order to relieve uncomfortable symptoms and give your digestive system a rest. Removing irritants gives your gut lining a chance to repair itself and can help restore a healthy balance of gut flora. If your symptoms improve, you can use the low-FODMAP diet to figure out which foods to limit in the future.

Low FODMAP Roots

Root vegetables are plant roots that are enjoyed as vegetables.  Although most people refer to all vegetables grown under grown as root vegetables, in order to be a true root the plant must be tuberous root and taproot.

Carrots, rutabagas, turnips, parsnips, beets and sweet potatoes are some of the true root vegetables. Although yams and sweet potatoes are often considered one in the same, yams are tubers and are not consider a true root.  For a kick of Vitamin C, A, B and fiber, consider adding these fruits of the earth to your weekly grocery list. {FODMAPers carrots, turnips and Potato are low in FODMAPs while sweet potato and beets have moderate amounts and should be enjoyed in small quantity!}

Turnips- This round root with the purple top is terrific when boiled and mashed like potatoes. The flesh of a turnip can be white or yellow.  Peel the turnip before cooking.  It can also be chopped and added to any stew or soup.  Do not cook turnips in an aluminum/iron pot as the anthoxanthins, in their skin leave the turnip looking grey.  A half-cup of cooked turnips offers 2 grams of fiber, Vitamin C and a measly 15 Calories.

Ingredients:

  1. Turnip 50 gms
  2. Potato 50 gms
  3. Bell pepper 1 small
  4. Turmeric ¼ teaspoon
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Ginger paste ¼ teaspoon
