Comfort Custard

April 18, 2024 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

This egg custard is simple and nourishing comfort food. It’s ideal for anyone with a sensitive stomach or compromised digestion. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled. For Ayurveda enthusiasts, when taken warm, it’s calming to Vata. When chilled or cool, it eases Pitta, and when a teaspoon of ghee along with a bit of ginger and cardamom are added, it becomes more balancing to Kapha. For a delicious twist, turn this into maple custard by using maple sugar, or into caramel-style custard by using jaggery in place of raw sugar.

Mung Dal Buckwheat Kitchari

January 9, 2024 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

This simple, nourishing recipe is a different take on an old classic. We made it in our pressure cooker, however you can easily make it on a stove top. Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. It’s a gluten-free starchy seed that is used like a grain. According to Ayurveda, buckwheat can be enjoyed by each dosha, however, its light, nourishing qualities make it especially good for kapha dosha. This recipe serves 2 people. Be sure to add any additions desired, and remember – kitchari is supposed to be porridge-like in consistency, however you can add less water if you would like it to be thicker.

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.

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.

Healing Carrot Ginger Soup with Ashwagandha Ghee

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

This Ayurveda-inspired soup is simple, nourishing, warming and mighty delicious. We used a medium-large white carrot from a local farm for this soup, but any color carrots you have on hand will do. Feel free to use any herbal, spiced, cultured or original GHEE you choose. This recipe will serve 1-2 people.

Spinach Stew (Instant Pot Recipe)

Broccoli with Radicchio

February 23, 2022 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

Balti Curry adds such good flavors to simple, healthy dishes! For this recipe, we started with a cast iron skillet rubbed with ghee to help sear in the flavors of the sweet broccoli and slightly bitter radicchio. The addition of Malabar ground black pepper adds a mildly peppery flavor that won’t compete with the various flavors of the Balti curry, However, any black pepper you have on hand will do quite nicely.

Ghee-Roasted Carrots and Brussels Sprouts

December 13, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

This delicious dish is easy and nutritious! If you’re in a pinch, substitute 1/4 tsp each dried rosemary, thyme and oregano in place of fresh. For a super treat, toss with nuts and/or dried fruit just before serving.

Twice-Cooked Spiced Cauliflower

February 10, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

This heavenly dish begins with either pan-fried or oven-roasted cauliflower. The choice is yours – for a richer flavor, pan fry in ghee. For a lighter effect, oven-roast drizzled with olive oil.
