Orange peel chutney – Oil- Free!
In Karnataka we have a theme in the cuisine where we use tamarind pulp as a base to cook many ingredients into a tangy side dish named Gojju. Cook ladies finger and it becomes ladies' finger Gojju, cook ripe mangoes and it becomes mango gojju. Traditionally made with sesame oil. Here is a unique Orange peel Gojju. Orange peels are said to be rich in antioxidants and I have read testimonials of people who use orange peel for therapeutic purposes. They have previously been known for their high levels of vitamin C and its associated health benefits. This led me to understand why our grandmoms decided to make use of orange peels to make gojju. Using all tastes and balancing them is said to be the way to great health. This bitter, sour, spicy and sweet dish will definitely tingle your taste buds.

Fenugreek Podi (ready-to-eat masala powder) - oil-free!
'Methkoot' as referred to in Maharastra and used as 'Menthya hittu' in North Karnataka, this is a powder available in every household where age-old family recipes are passed on from generations in the family. This used to be used as a brilliant rice mixture when the side accompaniments of rice like sambar/rasam were less for the family. The powder when mixed with rice gives a wonderful aroma but not necessarily bitter. A mixture of lentils with the fenugreek renders a long-lasting taste that is unforgettable as an experience for any person who tastes this for the first time.
Recipe 
Mexican Rice - oil-free meal!
Heat a medium-sized pot to a medium temperature, add the rice. You do not have to stir the rice around very much at first, while browning, but as the rice gets cooked, you want to be stirring it around to make sure it all browns evenly and doesn't burn. Towards the end of cooking, add the garlic so that it is sort of sautéd. Next, add the water to the rice (it will steam loudly) and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well and cover (with a small air escape). Reduce heat to medium-low to medium and let cook for 20-30 minutes. (Cooking time and temperature varies with your stove. Check after 20 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.) The essential rule of this recipe is “Do Not Peek” while the rice is cooking. When ready, all the water would have been absorbed, the rice will be fluffy and each grain will be “split open” because of the browning. It should be dry, not saucy. You can adjust the spices/peppers to your taste. The rec
