This turmeric mango smoothie is a nutritional powerhouse. It contains kefir, a fermented milk product which is filled with amazing gut bacteria and is a huge immune booster. Mango adds sweetness while the turmeric, ginger, chia seeds and black pepper add a punch of anti-oxidants.

Punjabi Sookhi Urad Daal
Unlike other lentil preparations which usually have a soup-like consistency, today’s lentil recipe is dry and a very common dish in Punjabi homes. Not only is it incredibly delicious and nutritious but it is super easy to make! This recipe uses dhuli urad. It is the white version of skinless and split black lentils or sabut (whole) Urad.
This recipe makes a perfect side dish with any gravy, salad, and chapatti.

Red Rice Dosa
Dosa is one of my favorite foods to make and eat. It is a south Indian fermented crepe, usually made gluten-free using a combination of white rice and lentils. Red rice dosa is a variation of the traditional white rice dosa. This is healthy and very tasty, slightly thicker than the standard white rice dosa. It might be seen as a breakfast item but you can, of course, serve dosa for lunch or dinner with any chutney, lentil soup or any vegetable or meat curry.
