Garden salad with Yogurt Mustard dressing

As you all know salads can be made of different ingredients.I prepared a green salad for dinner to cut down some calorie intake at nights.

I have used limited veggies or can say like those are available in my refrigerator.

The dressing has been altered with some ingredients to cut calories. For a mayonnaise & sour cream I used home made low fat yogurt.

 

Ingredients :

Veggies

1 cup of Shredded Carrot 

1 Cup of Shredded Red Cabbage 

1/2 cup chopped Onion 

1 cup of chopped Lettuce

1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes 

Dressing 

1/2 cup Low fat free yogurt  

2 Tbs Lemon juice 

1 Tbs Mustard powder

1 clove of Garlic minced

1/2 Tbs Red chili flakes

1/2 Tbs ground black pepper

Salt acc to taste

Take a big bowl with all the veggies mixed in it expect tomatoes. 

For Tomatoes

Cut cherry tomatoes in to half n place them on a baking pan. Drizzle a little of Olive oil. Bake tomatoes @ 350 degrees for 15mins.

For Dressing 

Take a bowl n mix up all the dressing ingredients together to a smooth paste. 

Take the tomatoes out of oven. Let them cool for few mins. Mix up dressing and veggies together. 

* Cover the salad bowl and allow it to sit in a refrigerator for a tasty salad.

Out come: After tasting it my hubby said let's skip dosa's for dinner & replace them with Salad :) 

Eggless Honey Mocha Cake

Weight watching is a Obsession. Isn't it??? At least that's what I feel about my self. 

The day I have started a concept of healthy diet I have been going crazy about whatever I cook & eat.The concept of this " Honey Mocha Cake " has just came out from one of those obsessive ideas.

Coming to the main point here I wanted to get rid of sugar which is a culprit ( In my view...) and that one got replaced by " Honey". 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup All purpose flour ( Maida)

1/4 cup of Low fat milk 

2 Tbs of Melted Butter 

4 Tbs of Honey 

1 Tbs chocolate powder 

1 Tbs Coffe powder 

1/2 Tbs Vanilla Essence 

1/2 Tbs of Apple cider Vinegar 

1/2 Tbs Baking soda 

1/2 Tbs Baking powder 

2 Tbs Almonds (optional)

Preheat Oven to 200 degrees. 

Powders: 

Sift flour, baking powder, soda, Chocolate & Coffe powder in a bowl and keep it aside. 

Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl mix  low fat milk, butter, apple cider vinegar, honey & vanilla essence.

Mix both (powder & wet ingredients) in a bowl without lumps. 

Grease a pan with little butter and pour the cake mix in to it. Garnish with almonds.Place the pan in preheated oven. 

Bake it for 20mins at 300 degrees. 

Tooth pick should come out clean when inserted. Switch off oven and allow the cake to cool down.

Cut it in to nice pieces & serve it. 

Out Come: The cake is just sweet enough and yummy :)
