Most of the doctors recommend sundal as a healthy snack . Oh yeah, sundal is the healthiest. It is easy to prepare. If you soak it the previous day night, it will be easier to make it the next day. Working people can soak the lentils the previous day and store it for the weeks usage. Also you can carry sundal to office and just reheat to have it as a snack. It is not a junk food. It has lot of vitamin b. It is rich in protein too.
To make it more tastier, I have added a good seasoning. It does not have onion and garlic. As we use sundal for poojas , I avoiding onion and garlic. This is actually my MIL's recipe. She uses this seasoning for chick peas sundal. I love the way she makes this coconut flavored snack. You can definitely make this recipe for this navarathiri. You would love this one.
Paleo diet recipes are really interesting. They taste good because of the addition of coconut oil , olive oil and proper seasoning. As we cannot manage without spices, I have tried a spicy grilled fish recipe. It makes us feel full and satisfied. You will never feel that you are skipping the regular grains. Might be the taste or the protein constituent. It is a perfect paleo lunch. I have used a fillet of fish. In most of the places it is not easy to get a fillet. In that case, you can use regular fish pieces. Only the cooking time is different.
We are going to fry the vegetables in same oil we grilled fish. It adds more taste. The crunchy veggies make our meal complete. This is also one quick recipe. We can enjoy this quick and simple paleo lunch without guilt. Unlike other grilled tilapia recipes, this one has predominant Indian flavor and you would definitely like this.

One of the tasty protein we can include in any paleo breakfast is Omega 3 Eggs or Organic Eggs. It is not good to use broiler type of eggs. This deviled eggs is a simple recipe using Eggs. There is no much job in making this type of Eggs. You need to boil eggs, make a seasoning. After that you can make a pleasing and tasty 'Deviled Eggs'.
I have made an Indian Style seasoning to make it a regional recipe. I have also added a vegetable chips. If you don't worry about "Being Paleo", you could use any type of chips. Make sure that the filling is not too thin. It should be thick for better results. In usual deviled eggs recipe, they use mayonnaise. I consider mayonnaise is full of fat. So I am just using yogurt for the filling.

This is one of the simple recipes you could make for breakfast. I am searching for a lot of paleo recipes and trying to modify them in Indian style. This style of scrambled eggs is easy to prepare. As we are adding vegetables like capsicum and spinach, it is more healthy. To make it come under paleo recipe, we are using olive oil or coconut oil.
Some people don't like olive oil just as I do. For them only I am using partially olive oil and partially coconut. oil.
Whatelse ? A simple n quick recipe for breakfast. If the vegetables are cut in advance, everything will happen quick. Enough fiber, HDL and protein. Good to go. A perfect paleo breakfast recipe.
