Simple and easy recipes are my forte. While I do like to make elaborate and tough-to-make-at-short-notice types of  food, I also like to make meals which are done with least effort and time. 'Cos day to day, recipes like these are what I reach out for. The only care I take in every meal is inclusion of protein. At least in some quantities. More so rather than just  for nutrition sakes, I also have an hidden agenda of such foods helping us to get filled up faster! I am surprised at many westerners who assume and take it for granted that eating vegetarian food is the surest way of having that dratted slim look! Sorry to burst your bubble, it sure isnt!

Its the same old principle which we all hate but unfortunately is here to stay - calories intake - calories expended! Doesn't matter if you eat a vegetarian stew but if you think lazing around all day doing no physical activity will keep you slimmer, then naaah! You are better off eating the hamburger and playing a game of soccer for 2-3 hours! So keeping all those in mind, here is a simple yet hearty meal which will not only keep one healthy but also ensure that little goes a long way. I enjoy it both with rice and chappathi (roti). You can add some coconut if you please to make it utterly delicious, but if you are trying to keep of cholesterol, omit it. Also if you are suffering from diabetes, then its sure one big taboo! But frankly, this one pot stew does not need those frills to make it taste better. Its good the way it is. Try it, you will agree too :)
