Rice – Quinoa Pilaf

This nutritious and allergy friendly dish is a contribution by one of Allergy Foodie’s readers, Veena. Thanks Veena – it constantly amazes me how moms of kids with food allergies constantly innovate to make life better for their kids. The tip about overcoming the overpowering flavor of quinoa is a sure winner…

“The strong flavor of quinoa flour can be masked by adding fried black lentil powder(fry the powder either in the pan or in the microwave for about 5 min stirring every 2 min) or by adding rice flour to the quinoa.”

Allergy Friendly Donuts…

Whoever would have thought that dairy-free, egg-free, wheat-free, soy-free donuts can taste so good and have the texture of the real thing. This recipe is adapted from a recipe that I got from the ‘Living Without’ recipe corner. However, I have ensured that it is free of the top 8 food allergens and more.

Banana Fritters – Allergy friendly dessert :-)

 

This is the first guest post to AllergyFoodie so, I am very excited.  The recipe is thanks to Sunita Purushottam who is a PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering and the writer of the hugely entertaining and informative environmental blog, http://agreeneryoutoo.blogspot.com. She is also one of the most thoughtful people I have had the good fortune to know. Every time we have gone over for a meal to her home (and we go quite often) she has made sure that a majority of the dishes are Arjun friendly. This may not sound like a big deal but every mom who has kids with food allergies knows that many people often forget to take into consideration people with food allergies when having people over. Thanks Sunita and looking forward to many more posts from your yummilicious kitchen ;-)

Instant Allergy Friendly Savory Pancakes (Dosa)

Raised in a South Indian household, I have grown up eating various types of yummy savory pancakes or dosas! The original recipe needs overnight fermenting but this is my quick version for all us parents who have kids with allergies and have to spend a lot of time cooking. My version of the dish uses more of the bean flour than would be used in the traditional recipe to make it a good source of protein. This alteration also yields softer pancakes.
