Mohanthal, Mohan means lord Krishna and thal means bhog or prasad. Mohanthal is a one of the favorite sweet of lord Krishna and most popular sweet in Gujrat and Rajasthan. Mohanthal can make during the special occasion like Janmashthami, Diwali or wedding ceremony.

Guajarati sweet dish list is incomplete without Mohanthal. It is a traditionally Guajarati dessert, which is ideally know to be served to god as a bhog or Prasad. This is one of the best, most popular, and very tasty sweet. It is like a gram flour fudge with a touch of cardamom flavor and topped with sliced dry fruits.

#ad Zucchini Lasagna Roll Ups are made with thin z #ad Zucchini Lasagna Roll Ups are made with thin zucchini slices rolled around a delicious ricotta filling, then baked in 
Prego+® Plant Protein Traditional Italian Sauce and topped with shredded Mozzarella cheese. We love @prego sauces for our everyday Italian dishes whether it is for our regular pasta, pizza, spaghetti or lasagna, etc.. currently obsessed with Prego+ Plant Protein in our weekly grocery shopping list and new pantry staple. The flavor & texture doesn’t change from the original, but there is simply the bonus of added nutrition. As a mom or as a wife I love adding nutritions without compromising the taste in our everyday meal and Prego has those range of sauces with healthy nutrition.

Prego+ Plant Protein Traditional Italian Sauce is the same delicious tomato sauce your family knows and loves, now with proteins from vegetables (4g protein per 1⁄2 cup) too. The rich flavor of vine-ripened tomatoes is artfully combined with a smooth blend of plant proteins to look and taste just like our regular sauce, so you can sneak more goodness in without anyone knowing!
Check out the link in my bio to get a coupon for Prego+ on Coupons.com 

Ingredients
1 cup Prego+® Plant Protein Traditional Italian Sauce
2-3 Zucchini
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2-3 tsp bread crumbs
For filling:
1 1/2 cup Ricotta cheese 
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 
1/4 cup chopped basil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp Chickpeas flour
Salt
Preheat the oven on 400F. In a mixing bowl add all filling ingredients and mix it well. Slice the zucchini into long thin rollable strips, arrange over paper towel for 30 mins to dry.
Spread a full spoon mixture over the strip and roll it. Make more rolls and keep aside.
In a baking dish add sauce and arrange zucchini rolls over the sauce, spread the mozzarella cheese on top and sprinkle bread crumbs, then bake it for 25-30 mins. Serve and enjoy.

Cheel Ni Bhaji Or Bathua Kadhi A sour and spicy yo Cheel Ni Bhaji Or Bathua Kadhi
A sour and spicy yogurt base curry is very popular in rural Sabarkantha, Gujarat. Cheel Ni Bhaji is very healthy. Mostly, Cheel Ni Bhaji is eaten with Makki ki roti or whole wheat flour bhakhri during winter season because this leafy veggie grows only in wintertime. It can be made without oil or any tempering, but some people add tempering over cooked curry, it is just by choice. Traditionally, it cooks in a clay pot over a clay stove with slow cooking.

Bathua also known as Cheel Bhaji or Chandan Bathua, it is a leafy vegetable seasonal to winter months. It is a close relative of spinach and prepared almost the same way. This plant is waxier and carries an earthy flavor. Bathua saag, raita and paranthas are some of its preparations. Common names are Chenopodium lamb’s quarters, melde, goosefoot and fat-hen and pigweed.

Aloo Methi Sabji is a dry version of delicious Indian recipes served as a side dish, perfect with roti or dal-rice. Even best option for lunch box along with roti and pickle.
