Granola


This version is from a Gordan Ramsay recipe on Youtube (Search for Gordan Ramsay Granola recipe). The commercial Granola are very sweet and I wanted one which is doesn't use sugar. Though I did add the candied fruits (well one because I had it but also it adds a nice pop of colour). I have tweaked the recipe to our taste. It makes for a satisfying breakfast.





 Ingredients:
3 Cups - Puffed Rice
1 cup - Oats
1/4 cup honey
A Pinch of Salt (I used Himalayan rock salt but any salt will do)
1/4 cup chopped Almonds
1/4 cup chopped Cranberries
1/4 cup chopped candied fruits
1/4 cup Sunflower seeds + Pumpkin Seeds
Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Degrees.
  2.  Mix the puffed rice, oats, almonds, seeds and salt in a large         mixing bowl.
  3.  Melt the honey and add to the mix.
  4.  Combine together and bake in the oven for 20 minutes (mix again at 10 minutes)
  5.  Add the cranberries and candied fruits to the mix.
  6.  Store in an airtight jar.

Enjoy!!!

Turns out Amaranth is actually a Greek word for a plant native to Mexico (and the old Americas in general), whose seeds were staple food for the Mayans, Incas and Aztecs. The Spanish colonialists outlawed it because it was considered sacred, once again demonstrating that colonialism was both stupid and cruel. It is unrepentant in appropriation as well, considering how amaranth is now feted as a ‘super food’ like Quinoa and highly sought after in the West for being gluten free and rich in protein and many vitamins and minerals. In India, as in many east Asian and African countries, the leaves of the plant have been more popular. I knew the leaves as the summer saag called chulai sold in vegetable mandis but I hadn’t connected it wi...

Banana Bread This was one of my first baking projects and came from my search for a simple egg less cake over the internet. I have overtime tried to make this more healthy and below is one of my more successful attempts. My kids have a sweet tooth and they loved this cake -- so this one has been tested as well.
