Gluten-Free Aloo Broccoli Paratha Recipe

This gluten-free potato, broccoli, and singora flour paratha is not only a healthy twist on a classic but also rich in Ayurvedic benefits. Potatoes offer grounding energy and potassium, while broccoli adds fibre, antioxidants, and immune-boosting vitamins. Singora flour (water chestnut), a naturally gluten-free option, is cooling and helps balance pitta while grounding vata dosha. Ideal for autumn, this nourishing paratha stabilises energy and digestion. Whether for lunch or dinner, pair it with chutney, dahl, or a sabzi for a wholesome, sattvic meal.

Embracing the Ancestral Wisdom of Millets

For centuries, these resilient grains have thrived across cultures, bearing diverse names like bajra, ragi, kangni, korra, kutki, and kodra. In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, millets are revered for their harmonising energies and therapeutic qualities, offering a holistic alternative to our overall diet. But the truth is even though they are a gluten-free grain and a good source of dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, they should be consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet and excessive consumption can create dosha imbalances.

In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, millets are celebrated for their balancing energies and healing properties. Not all millets are created equal in the eyes of Ayurveda. From pacifying Vata with the grounding qualities of kodo millet to cooling Pitta with the soothing essence of little millet, each grain offers a unique synergy of taste, texture, and nourishment so yet again it is a case of ‘one size does not fit all’.

Savoury and spicy Indian pancakes

In the quest to reduce sugar and balance Kapha over the winter season - these quick spicy and savoury pancakes go down a treat and apart from the little oil used to toast them I'd say they’re pretty healthy and a great way to get some veggies into your diet. You could do them plain. I use chickpea and rice flour with some raising agents.

Sabudana Kitchari (Spiced Sago / Tapioca)

Another quick one pot dish that is ‘sattvic’ by nature and a traditional Indian dish prepared on auspicious days and often eaten as the meal if fasting is being observed. This delicious gluten-free, vegan, savoury kitchari alternative made with tapioca or sago pearls is super easy to prepare.

Spring is kapha season so adding a little extra kick and spice it up with some chillies to burn off those accumulated winer toxins. For me this dish is a perfect option for breakfast, lunch or dinner I recommend eating it as soon as its freshly off the heat.

Ayurvedic Amaranth Bites

I absolutely love these treats, home-made with popped amaranth and mixed nuts and seed. My secret ingredient is the 100% pure organic cocao chunks and not to mention the tantalising tang from the sour cherries. Loads of coconut and held together with almond butter and date syrup. What’s not to love?
