Healthy Indian Meal without Onion, Tomato, Garlic ✅ Bottle Gourd Dal and Raita ✅ Thali

In this video I'm going to show a small Indian meal prepared without the use of onion, garlic and tomatoes. The two recipes are made with a vegetable called Calabash , one is a lentils soup made and the other is a spicy and pungent yogurt raita. Calabash can be substituted with any other gourd or Zucchini. The soup can also be made without any vegetable in it. You will also learn how to make a paste from ginger mustard seeds and green chili that can be used in several other vegetarian recipes.

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacqualinepagani4457]

If gourds are not available, would zucchini be a close substitute?

[@HappyBellyfish]

Yes but because they cook faster , you must add them to lentils that are cooked. Add them at the time of adding the ground spices and they should be ready and cooked in 5 minutes.

Your videos are most soulwarming and they deliver the true mystics of Indian food. I used to live in Maharashtra in the eighties, hung around in kitchens whenever possible, learned Marathi to be able to communicate with women who didn't speak English. I'm German but half of the food I cook is Indian. - Could I use also Toor Dal instead of Chana? And then I wonder which part of India you are from ? Thanks a lot for sharing your wisdom !

[@HappyBellyfish]

Thank you :) . You can make this with any type of dal but the taste will differ. Usually we pair different types of dal with different spices to match their taste profile. That must have been quite an experience to be here in the 80's and to learn the language , it must have not been as easy as it is these days with the online tutorials available. I really appreciate that. As for me , I have been a displaced person since I was born :) and I have lived a fair share of my middle age life in Germany before moving back to India. I trace my roots to Bihar, never lived there but used to go to our village during school holidays in my childhood. Grew up mostly in the southern parts of India and I don't know how to identify myself anymore from where I am :). So I often just smile when I am asked where I am from , I am from everywhere :)

Chicken curd fry without eggs and flour. Thanks 🙏

[@weethree2070]

This looks very tasty! But I don't quite understand - what is the reason for cooking without tomatoes, onions and garlic?

[@HappyBellyfish]

Some people prefer recipes without onions and garlic and tomatoes due to dietary preferences and constraints.

[@Kis-met]

I have histamine intolerance as well as FODMAP issues , so finding recipes without these 3 is really very helpful for me.

[@abhishekchowdhury6094]

But I want to add tomatoes, when to add here?

[@HappyBellyfish]

Ofcourse , you can add the tomatoes - at the time when you add the ginger and chili paste and cook them until they are pulpy.

[@MySwamiMyMaster]

Wonderful recipes. Just don't suggest cassia it is not the same as cinnamon.

[@HappyBellyfish]

Thank you. I give one as the alternative to another in cooking

[@shad6519]

Can we eat mustard seeds raw?

[@HappyBellyfish]

Yes it's not in excessive quantity and there's no harm in eating them raw.
