In blending jar add banana, curds, honey and almond; blend all the ingredients.

Take a serving bowl or glass add oats, pour blended mixture now garnish with rose syrup,chopped almond and soaked chia seeds.

Note:

1.    n this recipe, I have used only banana, but you can use any fruits of your choice or can make of mixed fruits( except citrus fruits).
2. you are using pomegranate then do not blend with fruits; instead use   pomegranate seeds.
3. Can also add few  finely chopped fruits

Mangalorean Egg Curry

Mangalorean egg curry is a perfect dish with rice, dosa, and chapattis. Specialty of the curry is instead of using boiled eggs we break the egg into the gravy.

Method

Grind coconut, masala powder, turmeric, garlic flakes, onion and tamarind to a smooth paste by adding water. In pan, add chopped onion and tomato add masala paste, add water to the gravy consistency (gravy consistency shouldn’t be too thick or too thin) add salt and bring it to boil.

Once it starts boiling, break egg one by one in the curry (don’t stir at this moment) close the lid and cook on low flame for a few minutes; after few minutes eggs will be cooked and mix very gently.

Now in small pan or wok, heat coconut oil, add finely chopped onion, fry till it become red (don’t burn the onion) add in the curry. Close lid and off the gas. Keep aside closed for 3-5 minutes.

Mix gently and serve with rice, dosa or with chapattis.

Note : -

                  Coconut oil is an optional being a Mangalorean we like the aroma of coconut oil in Mangalorean cuisines.
