It will soon be exam time.. Children have started studying, especially 10th and 12th Students undergo a stressful time.
As a mother, even I am concerned about my son who will be giving his 12th exam this year. Though children don’t feel hungry because of the constant exam pressure, as a mother, I feel that they should eat healthy and energising food, take some rest and also indulge in a little play time to relax.
Here is a quick tasty and healthy Thali for the children. I have baked the ladyfinger crisp and used Masoor dal to prepare rasam.
Here are the recipes:
A. Masoor dal rasam
1 cup masoor dal
1/2 cup moong dal
1 Cup Tomato purée
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Chilli powder
1 tbsp Rasam powder

Pressure cook the dal with turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt, asafoetida, jeera seeds. Churn in a hand blender and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan, season the rai, jeera, asafoetida, Curry leaves, coriander leaves. Pour dal mixture and add rasam powder, tomato purée, jaggery, salt (if required) cook for 4 to 10 minutes. Then add lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.
