Thank you my dearest @malaikaaroraofficial & @maheepkapoor for tagging me in the #whatsinyourdabba challenge! And thank you @twinklerkhanna @tweakindia for starting it! Loving all the recipes! I’m not a vegetarian or vegan but I am veggie at least twice a week & on those days this is one of my favourites! Quinoa and sweet potato cutlets with avocado sauce and a carrot, mint and Thai red chilli salad. Do try both recipes and let me know what you think!! Happy (and healthy) eating Meanwhile tagging super healthy @rakulpreet @yasminkarachiwala @kritisanon to share what’s in their dabba!! Quinoa & sweet potato cutlets: Half cup quinoa, wash in bowl of water, discard the water, add fresh water and boil for 6-7 mins til quinoa becomes soft & water is absorbed. Take out in a bowl & let it cool. Add finely chopped green chilli, finely chopped ginger, salt to taste, red chilli powder, cumin powder, black pepper and a pinch of chaat masala. One medium sweet potato boiled. Grate and mix into the quinoa. Add 2 tablespoons of roasted channa powder and the soaked Kasturi methi (without the water). Mix everything together and make tikkis. Take a flat plan, add a drop of oil and fry til golden. Avocado sauce: Half avocado cut into chunks, 1 cup fresh cilantro, half a clove of garlic roughly chopped, 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt, 2 tbsp lime juice , sea salt to taste and 2 tbsp water. Blend in a mixer. Carrot salad with mint & Thai chilli: 3 large carrots peel & grate and cover in a kitchen paper towel so that moisture from them is absorbed. Add 20 mint leaves in a bowl, dry roast a few cashews and sesame seeds. Mix with the carrots. Salad dressing: Juice of 3 limes in a bottle, add salt, black pepper, 1 Thai chilli finely chopped, 1 inch of ginger grated. Add everything together, sprinkle a little garlic powder and 2 tbsp of honey, mix it and add to the salad. Voila!! Enjoy!! #sophiefit #healthyeating #sophstylin
