Dahi/Home Made Plain Yogurt, by Deva Naturals

It's not difficult to make dahi/ yogurt with all it's active cultures.
Beats spending an arm and a leg at the grocery store for it !

For how to.... check out my recipe in foodista.com

In India, people use dahi not only to maintain their healthy digestive tract but also for facial masks in beauty parlors. Dahi is used to nourish the hair as well!

Mix a bit of garam masala, to make tandoori marinades great for summer grilling or winter baking.
You can mix a bit of Italian seasoning to make a salad dressing or even marinade your meats and grill !

Add some mango pulp and blend with some sugar and ice for a delicious Mango Lassi ! Don't have mango? Try Pistacio lassi, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint ??!!

Mix in some onion, mint or cilantro to taste with some tomato and cucumber for a delicious side salad or a cooling dish for summer.

Great for weight management as well, low in calories, high in calcium, not to mention how good it is for our intestines...........

Just enjoy a plain cup of yogurt with your cereal in the morning and tell me what u think !!!!

Curried Okra / Bhindi ki sabji

We sometimes don't like Okra because of it's sticky like "stuff"!
Yesterday, we had Indian Bhindi i.e. Okra with roti and dahi!
Roti is nothing but a whole wheat tortilla that we North Indians brag about.
We stuff these with different vegetables and enjoy it with a cup of plain simple dahi, i.e. home made yogurt !
Just a lazy Sunday meal !

Deva Naturals "Kaalae Cholae"

Kaalae Cholae or Black Chickpeas are in the garbanzo family.
They are a very typical North Indian cusine.
In the old days, on special occasions this was served as a wholesome meal at spiritual gatherings also known as "Langar".
These days however, it is made in almost every Punjabi (North Indian) kitchen at least once a week.
It was also used to feed horses in the golden days....
Try it in your kitchen for a healthy wholesome meal to share with family or friends.!
