Watermelon, Mint and Lemon Juice

A very refreshing drink to cool down summer hot days - Watermelon, mint and lemon juice. It's very easy, quick to make a drink, a very healthy drink and helps in hydrating the body.

Whenever I prepare this juice I never add ice cubes or sugar to it. I always chill the watermelon slices by keeping it in the fridge for a few hours and then make the juice. Also, the fruit itself very sweet so that you don't need to add sugar. But if you like, you can add sugar.

Ingredients :

• 1 large bowl of Watermelon, diced
• 3 sprigs of Mint Leaves
• 1/4 tsp Salt or Black salt ( preferably black salt )
• Juice from 1 large Lemon

Method 1 :

• Place the watermelon pieces and mint leaves together in a blender.

• Pulse/ blend the watermelon until smooth.

• Pour the juice/puree to a bowl. You need to repeat this for 3 to 5 times.

• Next squeeze the lemon to the juice and add salt and mix well

• Serve chill.

Method 2 :

• Place watermelon, mint leaves, salt and lemon juice and blend till smooth and serve chill.

Ragi Roti

Today I'm going to share a very easy recipe and my version of making ragi roti. Yes, it's very quick, and a very simple recipe and very very easy to make roti. It's a perfect breakfast recipe and its healthy too.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup Ragi flour
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Green chilies, finely chopped
• 2 handful of chopped Coriander leaves
• Salt to taste
• Oil for smearing on Roti

Method:

• In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except oil.

• Add 1 to 2 cups of water and mix well.

• The consistency should be very thick and slightly pourable.  ( i don't form a dough or balls out of ragi flour. Instead, I make thick consistency )

• Heat a tawa / dosa pan. When hot add 1 ladle of thick batter on tawa and spread with hand to a round shape. Be careful of your fingers while making this.

• Smear 1/2 tsp oil around the roti and cook in a low medium flame. Flip the roti and cook on the other side as well and also smear 1/4 tsp oil around the roti.

• Serve hot with coconut chutney.
