The Healthy Woes of an Unhealthy Person, ahem ahem!!!

So, the healthy-eating phase of mine continues. I just hope that I just carry on with this till I get desired results. Hahahaha I can hear my alternate me laughing her ass off!!!

This health food rad is all so new for me. Although I have been reading & doing my research about it all, but being the foodies that we are, I won't lie that this is easy for us. But I try to make our healthy food edible **big-gulps** enough for us. For dinner tonight, we had the sprouts & veggies salad which I seasoned with dates & tamarind chutney. And also a bowl of fresh summer fruits like watermelon & muskmelon.


The salad is pretty simple & basic. The recipe for the date & tamarind chutney is below.

You will need:

  • Soft dates, pitted 500gms
  • Tamarind pulp 250gms (If you like it more tangy then adjust the amount accordingly)
  • Roohafza (It is a concentrate of rose syrup. Add around 1 cup if you are bnot using any sugar)
  • Salt
  • Cumin seed powder, 1.5 tbsp
  • Red chilli powder, 2 tsp
  • Sugar, if required
  • Chaat masala, 1 tsp
  • Aamchur powder, 1 tsp
Just boil all the above till dates become very soft & mushy. Then leave to cool for a while. Later, blitz the entire thing with a hand blender or just in a mixie till everything is blended to a sauce consistency. 

Cool down completely to room temp. Fill in bottles & refrigerate. This sauce can be used upto a whole year. 

Happy 'Healthy' Eating :),
