Coconut Milk

Coconut Milk is an amazing alternative to regular diary/cow’s milk and as per Nature Cure, coconut milk is more nutritious than cow’s milk in the sense that the since its a plant based milk, the nutrients are better absorbed by the human body.

Note

As per NC, Coconut is to be consumed raw (never to be heated) and is best absorbed by the body when it is consumed within half an hour of being cut open. As a traditional practise, coconut which is offered to God (during an archanai) and brought back home as a prasadam is never cooked and always eaten raw

Kerala Style Chammandhi or Chutney

A friend of mine taught me this recipe and the first time we tried it home, we were just enthralled by the amazing flavour and taste of this chutney – I swear this taste is totally new to tamilian cuisine and what more, please go on to try it:

Pazhaya Saadam or Fermented Rice

This recipe is not actually vegan, but recently I tried making fermented rice with left over coconut milk curd rice as well and it was good too.

Ragi Roti/Ragi Adai

Ragi is another healthy, delicious millet and we have a couple of recipes with ragi like idli, dosa, kanji, dessert – but this particular ragi roti recipe is an all-time favourite for our family.

Please watch the video for the detailed recipe – in this video I have just added onion with the four, but grated veggies, spinach can also be mixed with the flour so make a more healthy dish.

Kavuni Arisi (Black variety) is one of the aromatic rice varieties (like seeraga samba) and also one of the nutritious varieties.

The first time we tasted this recipe was at Prems Grama Bhojanam, Adyar, Chennai – it was super delicious and we then tried it home and it came out really well and here is the detailed recipe:

The Ice Story

We stopped using a refrigerator at home since 2017 and we were managing fine with little disturbances once in a while.
