Soya Milk

For the past 1 month I have added soya milk in my diet, not only because of the health fact, but also because of the tasty chocolaty flavor of soyfit milk. When browsing through some pages, I suddenly came across recipe for making soya milk at home, and thought yes I need to give a try. And I am not upset about it, as the result was close enough. Of course the flavors they adds couldn't be replicated, but the outcome was something which made me think about making it my own always.
 The best part of it is that it's so economical and took me only couple of ingredients. Yes, white soyabeans and water! Sounds crazy?? I am usually, but I swear that's it what you will need to make this. Just 1 glass of soya beans gained me 1.5 liters of soya milk, and most of you will be knowing soya milk is considered to be vegan, and can be included part of vegan diet. Then why thinking too much about it, go ahead and make this your own and get convinced on what I said.
You would need to add the flavor you like. I added chocolate horlicks, replacing normal milk and it was just a hit. I even used it replacing coconut milk for my hubby's favorite cauliflower curry, and he didn't even realize it until I disclosed the secret. 


What you would need as tools are a strainer, mixer or juicer, clean cloth piece and of course tins to store the milk. There is one more secret with this recipe, which is soon going to get revealed in my future posts ;) So stay tuned and be ready to get Awed :P

Ingredients: 
White soya beans - 1 cup
Water for soaking
Water to grind - 5 to 6 cups



Method:

Wash well and soak soya beans in water overnight. Strain the soaked water and add fresh water to soya for grinding. If your mixer cannot grind the entire quantity in one shot, grind in batches.

Strain using a tea strainer(use new one to avoid the tea stains in) first and then strain using cloth. Store in airtight bottles under refrigeration. This milk has a shelf life in refrigerator for a week.

Don't throw away the residue, the secret is on the way :D

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home.  My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...
