Poori with Bean Curry, Cabbage pickle and Yogurt Chutney for Dinner

Pressed for time? These easy and tasty dishes are perfect for families ...

POORI with Beans Curry, Yogurt Chutney and Cabbage Pickle

Combination of poori with beans curry, yogurt chutney and cabbage pickle is very light for dinner and healthy for all .

There is something warm about the flaky, puffed up and crispy Poori that wants to make you crave for more - kids love poori any time. It took me half hour for poori but all the worth for the taste .... Total cooking time is 45 minutes.

Yogurt is great for the immune system and helps to fight harmful toxins in the body. Apart from that it contains calcium, protein, riboflavin and vitamin B 12 and is low in fat. So I try to include yogurt or curd in one form or the other in the daily diet of my family. One of the dishes I make using curd is the curd chutney also known as yogurt chatni or dahi chutney. This yummy recipe goes well with dosa, idli, roti, chapathi and poori.
