Protein Rich Quinoa Lentil Dosa

Published by Nidhi Bothra

I shared this high protein dosa on my stories last week, and it completely blew up! So many of you asked for the recipe that I had to put it all down here. It’s a crispy, golden, protein-packed twist on a classic, made with quinoa and lentils for a balanced and nourishing meal, and it’s one you will keep coming back to! WATCH HOW TO MAKE QUINOA LENTIL DOSA: What I love most about this dosa is how simple but nourishing it is, while still feeling like something a little special. The batter is a mix of quinoa and lentils, which gives it that perfect balance of protein and texture. I usually go with chana dal, moong dal, and masoor dal, but this recipe is very flexible, so feel free to use what you have on hand.

Rajma Chawal Casserole – Layered Rajma Rice Casserole

Published by Nidhi Bothra

Rajma Chawal Casserole ✨ a layered, modern take on a timeless Indian comfort classic, just a little reimagined! Layered whole-spice basmati rice, slow-simmered rajma, and a bold achari salad topping that brings everything together beautifully! WATCH HOW TO MAKE RAJMA CHAWAL CASSEROLE: Rajma chawal is one of those meals that instantly feels like home. Warm, comforting, and deeply rooted in tradition, it’s a dish many of us grew up eating on slow Sundays and busy weeknights alike. In this version, I kept the flavors completely classic — fragrant whole-spice basmati rice and slow-simmered rajma — but presented them in a layered casserole format for a slightly modern twist. The addition of a bold achari salad on top brings brightness, texture, and depth to every bite. It’s still the same rajma chawal we love — just expressed a little differently.
