Double Curry Dal with BEST HING EVER

May 26, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

We call this “double curry” because we use both DIY Balti Curry and Madras Curry (or Keto-In-A-Hurry) simmering sauce. This is a simple, delicious, nourishing meal that pairs perfectly with freshly cooked basmati rice, quinoa, or warm roti/chaptati or naan bread, or any favorite crusty sourdough or whole grain bread.

Gluten-Free Flaxseed Muffins with Buttermilk, Ghee and Spices

April 17, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These muffins are tender, aromatic, healthy and delicious! They’re great with hot chai tea or coffee, fresh, seasonal fruit, yogurt, nut butters and additional ghee for spreading. The recipe makes 12-15 muffins. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, blend 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup water to use as a substitute, or add 1 tbsp lemon juice to a measuring cup. Pour in some milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.

Darjeeling Green Tea Latte

March 28, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 2 Comments

This is a simple, wonderful tea that can be made with your choice of milk, however, the richer the milk (or nut milk) the creamier and more delicious the tea. If you enjoy dairy products, try this recipe with 6 Tbsp whole milk and 2 Tbsp cream in place of half cup (8 Tbsp) milk. The tea is wonderful hot, but can also be enjoyed cold on a hot summer day.

Darjeeling Iced Green Tea with Lime, Honey and Fruit

March 27, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This fruity green tea can be enjoyed year round. It’s best served room temperature or chilled. We’ve opted for wild blueberries and organic grapes, but feel free to choose your favorite seasonal fruit. This recipe serves one person but is easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled for more.

Ayurveda Cardamom-Citrus Immune Support Tea

March 20, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This tea is wonderfully fragrant with cardamom and orange. It’s ideal for spring and winter. We use Organic Darjeeling Green tea, however Organic Darjeeling Black Tea or a favorite herbal tea such as spearmint could also be used. The Immune Support Tea contains Guduci, a popular Ayurvedic herb used traditionally to support good immunity.

Tandoori Seared Chicken Legs

February 24, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 2 Comments

This is an incredibly easy recipe that boasts such great flavor you’ll be making it a lot! The chicken is seared in a cast iron skillet in hot ghee to brown on both sides, then transferred to the oven to continue cooking. We used whole chicken legs (thigh with drumstick) but you can use the breast with skin, if desired, although the roasting time will likely be a bit longer. You can easily make as much chicken as your skillet can hold.

Dave’s Stuffed Peppers

February 17, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

Our friend Dave is such a creative cook! When he told us about his luscious stuffed peppers, we had to get his recipe! Although he used ground lamb, he assured us this dish is equally delicious made with ground pork, beef, chicken or turkey, and for a vegetarian option, mashed, seasoned tofu, lentils or any favorite legume

Indian Rice with Saffron, Spices and Cashews

February 15, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 4 Comments

This is a classic take on an Indian favorite, made with our precious long-grain, aged basmati rice, aromatic spices, Kashmiri saffron, Indian bay and roasted cashew nuts. It’s delicious with a legume or meat dish, a green vegetable and/or a seasonal green salad.

Simple Chickpea Curry with Garlic Ghee

February 15, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 4 Comments

The easy chickpea curry is perfect when you need a fast, flavorful, nourishing meal. It’s great with a simple green salad or served over rice or quinoa, or stuffed into a baked potato, or spooned into pita-bread halves.

Pear Salad with Roasted Walnuts and Mango-Primal Dressing

February 3, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

Enjoy this salad all year long by going with the seasons. For example, in summer, consider using peaches and sunflower seeds in place of pears and walnuts which are better suited for fall and winter. This should yield 4 servings.

Kick-Spiced Mini Turkey Muffins

February 3, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These little meat muffins make a great snack or meal if you’re watching your carbs. Kick Ketchup can be mixed in equal proportions with regular organic ketchup or tomato paste to reduce spiciness. We used dark turkey, however, if using breast meat, adding 1/2 Tbsp olive or almond oil to the recipe makes for a juicier result. For standard muffin tins, the yield is roughly 10-12 depending on optional ingredients added. These freeze well.

What’s for Breakfast? Kapha Dosha

January 27, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 2 Comments

If your predominant Ayurveda dosha (body type) is Kapha, then your steady nature is governed by structure, earth and water which is why Kapha-types such as yourself may struggle at times with excess weight and a general feeling of heaviness. Your skin is likely smooth, your eyes large and kind, and your stamina steady and […]
