Then surely rice will be leftover. At the cost of rice, one can never afford to throw away any food. I consider wasting food a serious crime, as millions die of hunger in his world, please do your bit to feed the hungry, if you've leftover food or turn it into a meal for the next day.

Sooji / semolina cheela / pancakes

 Sooji Cheela - Weight-loss friendly mid-day snack

• To make sooji cheela, take one cup of sooji and add it to a mixing bowl. Add 1/4th cup of besan to help the batter hold together. Add chopped onions, tomatoes, capsicum or any other vegetables that you would like. Add salt, according to taste. Add a green chili finely chopped. Add red chili powder, but it is optional.
• Mix all the ingredients well and then add water, a little at a time. Add enough water to give the batter a runny consistency.
• Heat a pan on the stove, preferably a non-stick base. Add a few drops of oil to grease the pan. Take a dollop of the batter, and put it on the pan, flattening it.
• Once it is cooked on one side, flip it and cook it on the other.
• Serve hot. You can serve the cheela with green coriander chutney or ketchup.

How the mid-day snack can aid weight loss

Sooji is known to fill you up, and it will help to curb appetite. The cheela can also be eaten as a healthy breakfast. Veggies and minimum spices are a great way to have a light but healthy snack. The vegetables add fiber and nutrition to the snack. Chutneys, apart from being tasty, as also very digestive and will help to keep stomach problems at bay, and aid in weight loss.

The best part about the snack is that you can make the mix in the morning, when you prepare other meals. This will help you save time between work and will only take 5 minutes to cook and eat the snack. Make sure you do not mix water in the batter, and only do so when you have to cook the cheelas.
