Simple comfort food recipes to nourish the Soul

Savoury Yogurt Parfait Recipe-New year,New beginning!

As you can see the blog has a new look (again!). Last year My Foodcourt had moved to Cucumbertown,which unfortunately had to shut shop. I have spent the last couple of months learning, DIYing(yes there is such a word ๐Ÿ™‚ ) different design/technical aspects of this self hosted WP blog. I am still working on it, since the move to & back from CT has messed up many old posts. Kindly bear with me till I can review & correct each and every post.I am not someone to make New Year resolutions, since I struggle to keep them.But this year I plan to improve the frequency of posts on My Foodcourt! Also this year my friend S & me plan to explore some unique culinary hot spots of new/old places & document our Culinary escapades here in our Culinary travelogue. With this exciting news I would like to wish all my readers a very Happy,Healthy & Peaceful New Year. Hope 2017 is packed with good food & travel for all of us!

This Savoury Yogurt parfait is as refreshing as this New Year & the newly refurbished blog. It is a simple no-cook recipe in which vegetables, nuts, sprouts, herbs, popped seeds/grains pair together appetizingly with yogurt. It is a great option for a low-sugar (or people like me, who do not want to start the day on a sweet note:) ), wholesome, savoury breakfast /lunch/ snack. Packed with nutrients beetroot, carrot, and the seasonal red radish also add colour to this pretty layered dish.

You can use any other vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini etc. This is a basic recipe for building your own parfait. I love using popped grains/seeds (lahi) like amaranth, jowar, makhane in my daya to day cooking.You can use popped grains/seeds, nuts, seeds, sprouts of your choice. The parfait can be spiced up with chaat masala/tzatziki mix/cajun mix. Once the popped grains and seeds are added, the Savoury Yogurt Parfait needs to be consumed immediately to retain the crunch.You can also make a parfait bar for a party/get-together where everyone puts together their own parfait with whatever combination they like.

    My experiments with cooking go way back, when I stayed in a hostel for my higher studies. The โ€˜Messโ€™ (literally) food was good just to satisfy the stomach, not the palate. I really missed my momโ€™s food then. I still do. A self confessed foodie, I love trying out new recipes. ...
