Vegetable Uttapam [with black chickpeas]

Vegetable Uttapam [with black chickpeas] is quick, super easy and great for a protein rich meal/snack. In addition it is very healthy and tasty. Also you do not need a lot of ingredients to make it which is awesome!! 😛

Uttapam is a South Indian dish enjoyed in entire India and abroad. You will find various kinds of Uttapams like the one with vegetables, spicy ones, with meat and so on. I love it because it is so quick to make and you can basically put everything on it that is lying in your fridge and you want to finish up! 😉 But here I use onions, tomatoes, chillies, spinach for some greens and black chickpeas for lots of protein. For someone who is new to Uttapam, you may look at it as a savory pancake with vegetables. 😊

Uttapam is a South Indian dish enjoyed in entire India and abroad. You will find various kinds of Uttapams like the one with vegetables, spicy ones, with meat and so on. Traditionally, it is made with natural yogurt but I have replaced it with Soy yogurt in this recipe, making it vegan. I love it because it is so quick to make and you can basically put everything on it that is lying in your fridge and you want to finish up! 😉 But my favorite toppings are onions, tomatoes and chillies.

Oatmeal with Apples and Pistachio Butter!!

This Oatmeal with Apples and Pistachio Butter is one of my go to breakfasts whenever I am feeling very hungry in the morning or need very energy dense breakfast due to some upcoming activity like running lots of errands throughout the day or being busy until late afternoon. The combination of apples and pistachio butter is heavenly and is tastier than even apples and peanut butter!! 😛

The combination of rich and creamy hazelnut milk along with the pistachio butter makes the oatmeal very creamy. In addition, whole grain oats and chia seeds, makes it thick and nutrition rich. Adding things like nuts and granola from the top, gives the oatmeal a nice crunch. Adding apples enhances the nutrition profile and makes the dish naturally sweet. Cacao nibs are a contrasting boost of flavor in the oatmeal! 😉
