CHUTNEYs for WEIGHT LOSS and HYPERACIDITY! 2007-05-12 05:00:00 Chutneys, as an essential ingredient of Indian cuisine, have become famous all over the world, and I feel, justly so.Well, here is a recipe for a little-known Indian chutney, which will help in both, weight loss as well as reducing hyper-acidity, if eaten on a regular basis.The active ingredients in this chutney are two types of Garcinia viz, Garcinia cambogia and Garcinia indica.(The former, Garcinia cambogia, is a well-known weight loss supplement and the latter is for reducing hyper-acidity).The dried fruit peels are available in the market.These peels are thick and fleshy to the touch, deep purple in colour, and very sour to taste.They have a distinct flavour, which gives the chutney its characteristic flavour, too.Preparation :Soak a few peels of Garcinia in water for 30 minutes.Remove from the water and add to them, coconut shavings ( fresh or dry coconut ), a few leaves of coriander, a red chilly or two, and add cumin seeds, salt and sugar to taste.Grind well, without adding wat
Fresh TURMERIC PICKLE. 2007-05-04 20:21:00 Fresh TURMERIC PICKLEThis is made from slices of freshly dug-up turmeric.Turmeric rhizomes are washed thoroughly in water and sliced finely.They are then mixed with ground mustard seeds and added to groundnut or sesame oil seasoned with sputtered mustard and cumin seeds, chilly powder, salt and a little sugar.This mixture is packed in an air-tight continer and allowed to stand for 3 weeks, by the end of which the pickle is ready for eating.This simple preparation is very tasty. Besides, because turmeric has proven health benefits, it has great value as a health supplement.Turmeric is a known anti-oxidant and immune-booster. It is good for the skin, helps to heal infections and to prevent cancer.My Name : Dr. Jayashree JoshiEmail me : joshi@herbaltradition.comMy other blogs on blogger are:http://my-unforgettable-cases-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://alternativetherapies-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://astrological-remedies-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://indianperfumes-indianpedi.blogspot.
Healthy Indian Snack foods. 2007-05-03 01:41:00 Many of the following foods do not have a formal name. However, they are just as good and just as healthy as health foods with formal names!Sprouted pulses with Indian garnishes :Take a bowl full of sprouted moong ( Green gram ), masoor ( lentil - Ervum lens ), or other lentils.Sprinkle a little chivda or sev on them.Add a pinch of salt.Stir lightly.Eat with or without additional yoghurt, coriander, coconut shavings.This is a low-calorie, high-protein snack food, ideal for eating inbetween meals, to both, assuage hunger and to reduce the amount of cereal eaten during mealtimes.Eaten daily, once or twice a day ( or even oftener ) it helps to reduce weight, in the long-term.My name : Dr. Jayashree JoshiE mail : joshi@herbaltradition.comMy other blogs on blogger.com are:http://my-unforgettable-cases-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://alternativetherapies-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://astrological-remedies-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://indianperfumes-indianpedi.blogspot.com/http://travel-ind Read more:Snack
HEALTHY SNACKS - for Breakfast or inbetween..... 2007-05-03 01:17:00 IDLI :This South Indian snack food is prepared from fermented RICE and BLACK GRAM ( Urad dal ).Preparation : Soak equal quantities of rice grains and black gram, separately, in the evening.After a couple of hours, grind them, again separately.Mix the batter together well and add a pinch of salt.Cover and keep it overnight.By next morning, the batter will be fermented well and will have risen up to form a light, foamy and frothy mixture. Now stir the batter and pour it with a ladle into a special 'idli' tray, which usually has cups for about 12 idlis. ( Apply a little oil to the cups if the tray is not of the 'non-stick' variety ).Steam this for about 20 minutes, under ordinary pressure ( do not pressure cook ).Wait until the tray half-cools, then remove it from its vessel, and scoop the idlis out.Serve hot, with either green coriander chutney or a thin curry called sambhar. Health benefits of idlis :Because they are made out of rice and black gram, which is a pulse, idlis have a hi Read more:Breakfast
Thalipeeth : a snack food from Maharashtra 2007-06-08 06:03:00 Thalipeeth is a quick fix snack food, which is at the same time very wholesome.In olden days, most Maharashtrian homes would have the flour for this made and stored in the house, the whole year round.Thalipeeth is a flat bread, baked on an open pan.Its flour is a mix of many lentils and cereals.Chickpeas, green gram and a few other lentils are washed and dried.Similarly, rice, wheat, jowar, ragi and other cereals are also washed and dried.The two are then roasted together lightly and the mixture is finely ground.The flour is then stored in air-tight containers.While making the thalipeeth, pieces of finely chopped onion, coriander and cabbage are added to the flour, with chilly powder and salt to taste. A little water is added and the mixture is kneaded well.Crushed roasted peanuts can be added as well.Then a handful of dough is flattened out onto a piece of a fresh banana leaf ( nowadays a plastic paper is used instead of the leaf ) and it is softly patted into thin flat circle.A few h Read more:Maharashtra
BHAKRI 2007-06-28 01:48:00 It's called BHAKRI and it's the staple diet of most people in rural areas of Maharashtra State, in India.It can be made with the flour of one or more cereal. But the one I'm describing here is made out of a very healthy mix of many cereals and lentils.Cereals called Jowar and Bajra ( specific to India ) are the mainstay, but Rice flour ( available universally ) can be the main cereal in it, as well.A little coarse wheat flour is also allowed, along with some 'Ragi' ( another Indian crop ).Cereal flours are used without prior roasting.To these flours, we add roasted and ground lentils ( black gram, green gram, chick peas, soya bean, whatever ).Only salt is needed, for seasoning.The flour is kneaded with a little hot water, and then patted gently into a flat round 'bread'.This is put onto a thick pan ( it needn't be non-stick but it has to be thick-bottomed ) and the upper side of the 'bread' is moistened with a little water, spread evenly over it.When the bottom side of the br
