Another day and another variation of the Buddha Bowl! Made this amazing Buddha bowl a few days back but have been lazy in uploading the recipe. The best part about this was that it was made out of all the fresh winter veggies and was exceptionally delicious. It was packed with fibre and all the necessary nutrients.

The hero of this Buddha bowl was sweet potatoes, green grams, beetroot and baby corn on the cob. Spiced them lightly to form a light and nutritious dinner.

RECIPE:

  1. Peel and dice the carrots diagonally into big bite size pieces. Similarly, dice the baby corn too.
  2. Take 2 cups of water in a pot and allow it to come to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and corn and cover the lid and let this simmer for 5 minutes and then remove them from the heat.
  3. Boil the green grams in a pressure cooker. Allow a whistle and them keep for low flame for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the steam to release. Drain the water.
  4. Add chopped coriander, some salt, chilis and lemon juice to the grams and keep aside.
  5. In a wok, add some olive oil and then add chopped mushrooms, garlic pods, chilli flakes and some salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes on low flame till all the moisture evaporates.
  6. Repeat the same step with beetroots as well and cook them for 4-5 minutes.
  7. Add some oil in a pan and add the baby corn and carrot and add some salt and chilli flakes. Lightly toss for 2 minutes or so and remove from heat.
  8. Arrange all the veggies into a big salad bowl and serve fresh.
