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. 😊

Quesadilla with hummus and vegetables [vegan]

This Vegan Quesadilla with hummus and vegetables is so easy to make and full of delicious flavors and fresh ingredients. It is a very healthy version of the traditional Quesadilla incorporating a bunch of nutritious ingredients and still full of flavor. 😛

I love Mexican cuisine, especially Quesadillas. So instead of having the cheesy version all the time, I experiment a lot with it. I find that replacing cheese with hummus work wonders here. Hummus is such a creamy, rich and delicious spread that works really good in the recipe as I use a heaping amount 😉 Adding a bunch of vegetables, not only increases the nutrition profile but also make the dish fresh and light instead of heavy. 😊

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.
