A one-day moong dal khichdi reset for a tired stomachAfter festivals, weddings or a week of eating out, a day of simple moong dal khichdi gives digestion a break. It's the Ayurvedic idea of a ‘cleanse’ — nourishing, warm and easy, not starving.
Fresh pudina chutney and mint water for summer digestionIn the heat, appetite drops and heavy meals sit badly. A bright green chutney of mint and coriander, or a jug of mint-lemon water, freshens the palate and keeps summer digestion comfortable.
Savoury green moong chillaSoaked moong dal is ground with coriander, cumin and ginger into a savoury chilla. Cook it on a pan with a few drops of oil. It is breakfast, not a slimming trick, and it does not promise kilos lost.
