Children have always had a love-hate relationship with vegetables. Especially ones that are known to be healthier. They’re notoriously selective with the kind of veggie meals they like and the ones they don’t. Indian mothers always have to get creative with their meal planning to ensure their little ones consume the veggies they need in order to receive the nutrients their body requires. Thankfully, one of the most creative ways to go about this is to add these veggies to Pasta. Because every Indian kid adores Pasta. Why wouldn’t they? It’s luscious and filling! Indian Masterchef, Sanjeev Kapoor has developed an interesting creamy pesto pasta recipe using Nutralite mayo. Particularly, the Cheesy Garlic Mayonnaise. And the best part is, you can make this delicious recipe by Sanjeev Kapoor at home!
Combine Ingredients: Start by mixing chana dal Payasam, oats powder, Neutrality Milk Powder Probiotic Butter Spread, baking powder, and waffle mix in a bowl. Ensure a thorough combination and let the mixture rest for 8-10 minutes to achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Prepare the Sauce: Heat a pan over medium heat and add jaggery powder, melted Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread, and coconut milk. Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread is made with rich creamy milk and it’s loaded with probiotics, which help to support immunity. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens.
Cook in Waffle Maker: Grease a waffle iron with melted Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread. Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffle becomes fluffy and golden.
Final Touch: Once the waffle is ready, drizzle it with the prepared jaggery sauce, and finish by topping the waffles with a bit more Nutralite DoodhShakti Probiotic Butter Spread. Your delightful Payasam Waffle with Jaggery Butter is now ready to be served!
