So, this was what I decided to have today for lunch. I usually prepare my lunch the night before. Cauliflower is in season at the moment. So, I\u2019m enjoying it while it\u2019s available. I\u2019m not a great fan of white cauliflower but this green stalk variety tastes really nice!<\/p>\n<p>This was quick to do. Heat a little of olive oil, add some fenugreek seeds, let roast for 1 minute. Add some mustard seeds. Then add the cauliflower and carrots. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of turmeric. Cook until soft but not mushy. In fact I like my cauliflower quite crunchy! It tastes so much better. Lastly add some boiled red beans (or canned ones). Salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<p>Fenugreek seeds are very good for maintaining blood sugar level. It has a natural anti-diabetic effect. Adding about \u00bd teaspoon to vegetables is a good way to consume them. Be careful not to use too much at once as it will leave a somewhat bitter taste.<\/p>\n<p>As for the mash, (I\u2019m sure you all know how to make mashed potato) I boiled 3 medium potatoes. (I didn&#8217;t eat all of it myself though!). Then peeled and mashed them. Heat a bit of non-diary milk in a pan. Add potato and mix well until soft and creamy. Add salt and pepper.<br \/>\nAlternatively, you can heat the milk then mix everything in a food processor or blender.<br \/>\nI did not add any margarine in this as I think it is quite unnecessary and it still tastes great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been ages since I last had mashed potato.
