Karela With Onion and Tomatoes


Karela or Bitter Gourd….A vegetable I found revolting as a kid, unaware of it's health benefits,relish it now. I do not like to mix in salt and turmeric powder and squeeze out the bitter juice. I prefer to add a bit more jaggery if required. Onions and tomatoes also help balance out the bitter taste.

The pictures are not so great as they were taken with a basic android phone camera.





Smoothie


      This is the result of investing in a NutriBullet. This is a smoothie made with Jona Gold apple along with the peels,grapes,banana  and strawberries. Simply delicious !! The best part of making a smoothie in a NutriBullet is that you don't have to strain it. It purees the peel as well as seeds boosting the fibre content.
