Guilt-Free Moong Dal Halwa Recipe
I have not met anyone who dislikes moong dal halwa. The texture feels like khova and the subtle blend of tastes are so good that one cannot stop at one spoon. Traditionally this halwa is made predominantly after roasting it in ghee or cold-pressed coconut oil. However, I have created this recipe to get the same beautiful flavours without the need for any oil or ghee. Any form of oils is not natural to consume. Hence, I have also used some nut butter in this recipe which is totally optional but is a whole form of plant fat with all its nutrition intact. Do try this and enjoy this healthy recipe.

Oil Free Moong Dal - add body-builder foods to your mealtimes!
A regular staple in Indian homes, doing dals oil free almost feels impossible. But it is possible, and in fact that's how our ancestors cooked mostly - without refined oil. We can only assure you taste wise there is no compromise, and health wise its so much better, and lighter for your body. Here the recipe soaks the daal for sometime, and cooks it in open (the traditional) way. Of Course this retains the nutritional profile of the legume (lentil) being cooked but if you in a hurry, use the usual pressure cooker. However, do give the traditional process a try… you may just end up using this way each time you cook, with a little bit of planning.

Raw Lentils Dhokla - Oil- Free! Cook - Free!
Dhokla is the mainstay of Gujarati cuisine. Any mention of Gujarati food is incomplete without Dhokla. I have heard from those who have attended raw food workshops, conducted by BV Chouhan Saheb, about the really yummy raw dhokla that was served there. I have attempted the same thing and would like to share it with you. Needless to say it's not going to be like the dhokla we are used to which usually has a raising agent like soda or Eno salts, refined semolina/ rawa and chickpeas flour. This is made with whole soaked lentils. It is definitely worth trying. Soaked lentils consumed raw are an excellent source of nutrition.
