Roasted peanuts are my all time favourite. Also cashews, raisins, dates, apricots, anjeer, murmure. Bhel puri in evening made with lots of tomato, cucumber, onion, dhaniya, imli chutney, salt, green chilli is awesome.
What type of cookware do you prefer (steel/ andonised/ non-stick) for daily cooking?

Steel utensils are most practical for day to day use. I also use earthen vessels for cooking rice

There is no shortcut to good health dear 😊. Try this. 1. Let ur first meal of the day be fruits. 2. Carry healthy snacks to work. Make a snack bar at office - nuts, makhana, chana, dry fruits. 3. Every 2 hours, take a break, stretch, close ur eyes and relax. 4. Always keep a fruit in your bag. Whenever you feel hungry, have the fruit. Replace tea/coffee with fruit. 5. Carry a box of salad for lunch. 6. Take stairs instead of lift to get your body moving. 7. Don’t take stress. When stressed, take a break and divert ur mind. 8. Spend 10 minutes in the early morning or evening sun. You may schedule an official call during that time and take it with the sun!! 9. Keep lemons, knife and squeezer in office. Have 1-2 lemons everyday. 10. When on the road, stop for few minutes to have coconut water.

I suffered from back pain for many years. The pain is felt in the legs too and is called sciatica. For short term relief, you can try hydrotherapy. Take two basins of water - one warm and another cold. Use two pices of cloth - one in each bowl. Keep the warm cloth on the back for three minutes and next cold cloth for 1 minute, This is one round. Do 4 rounds. You can do this as many times in a day as necessary. This normalises circulation. Check also your posture when you sit and stand. For longer term, lifestyle changes are the only solution. Plenty of rest, sleeping by 10:00 pm atleast, sun exposure, natural , wholesome diet, less grains and less to no dairy products, non veg and packaged, deep fried food.All these cause toxin build up in the body causing pains.

Steam whatever vegetables you want. Do dry tadka without oil, add soaked tamarind juice, turmeric and boil. Add some sambar powder, steamed vegetables and ground fresh coconut. Do not boil vigorously after this step. Add some salt and switch ff the gas. Let it sit for sometime for flavours to mix. Enjoy your healthy sambar.

Can somebody please suggest a nice little spicy dip / chutney for chillas.

You can go for a peanut chutney. Its a very versatile dip. Just put together peanuts, jaggery, chilly flakes and soaked imli. You could add even green chillies to get that spicy dip u looking for. Or if running short of time, just simply do 1 onion+1 tomato + 1 to 2 green chillies. Fresh and yummy. Goes well with chilla.
Hello. I am pregnant. I am experiencing day long nausea & loss of appetite. I'm concerned as i should be eating more rather than eating less!!

Keep your meal portions small. Incorporate a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Be sure to eat fruits alone, not mixed with other meal items. Also do know, that nature has designed procreation in such a way that, at this moment your baby will derive all the nourishment from your reserves. So the eating is to replenish your reserves. The nausea is a phase, and feel reassured that desire to eat will come back, which is when the baby needs real nourishment.
Is there a way to cook my favourite dish 'aloo matar' in a healthy way?

The most simple way of doing same is by steaming. Steaming helps to retain the nutritional value. Steam potato, peas and tomatoes. In your cooking pan, add little water and roast onion. Then add steamed tomatoes and prepare gravy. Add your required species and add steamed potatoes and peas. Garnish same with coriander leaves and enjoy your healthy way of favourite Aloo Matar. Hope it turns out good.
How can I make Beetroot Sandwich? Along with a healthy substitute for Brown Bread.

You can slice beetroot and steam them if you dont like them raw and make you sandwich with some cashew cream, spinach and beetroot slices. Add some fresh coriander too if you like the taste. Else, shred beetroot finely, mix it with some cooked potoates, shape into tikkis and roast them for your sandwich filling.
Dear all,Anyone has any inputs regarding typhoid? Hubby is detected with it and in bad shape. He had severe vomiting and fainting spells last week and this was diagnosed in the blood test.

Hi. Your husband’s body seems to be acidic in nature, hence the typhoid. Germs need an acidic medium to grow and proliferate. Thus any illness (bacterial or viral) happens mainly cause our body acts as the host. We have higher toxicity due to multiple reasons such as processed foods, over consumption of dairy, grains and non veg, lack of ample fruits and veggies and raw in food, lack of proper rest and downtime to repair, lack of sunlight and fresh air, stress etc. You must focus on restoring the acid-alkaline balance of the body. Increase alkaline foods such as fruits and raw veggies. Reduce acidic foods such as grains, dairy, refined oil, refined salt, refined sugar and packaged foods. Increase his immunity by giving lemon-haldi-ginger-honey every 3-4 hours. Rest is extremely important and so is sunning.... good luck dear, hope he feels better soon
