Do you want to know how to make a slow cook dahl recipe? It's an easy dish to feast on! Whenever I go home, my mum always asks, "Beta, what would you like to eat?" and the answer is always dahl (lentil soup). It is the best comfort food as it has rich layers of flavours and feels like a soupy warm hug. Everyone seems to have their own recipe, and mine does change slightly each time I make it, as I might add an extra spice or omit one. This is the base slow cook dahl recipe using coconut oil and ghee. You can also add veggies and chillis for a bit of a kick. Ingredients 2 cups of lentils 1 garlic clove thumb size of ginger 1TBS coconut oil and ghee 1 tomato 4 cardamom pods 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 1/2

Adaptogens or adaptogenic herbs are medicinal herbs that have been adopted into Ayurvedic, Chinese and naturopathic medicines. "Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that are marketed as helping the body resist stresses of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. These herbs and roots have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions, but they’re having a renaissance today. Some, like holy basil, can be eaten as part of a meal, and some are consumed as supplements or brewed into teas. Each one claims to do something a little different, but on the whole, “adaptogens help your body handle stress,” says Dr. Brenda Powell, co-medical director of the Center for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic’s Wellness Institute. “They’re meant to bring us back to the middle.” (Source: time.com/5025278/adaptogens-herbs-stress-anxiety) Our bodies deal with stress, ranging from a mild reaction to something that

Self-care doesn’t require much time, energy, expense or resources. We can implement this in our lives in various ways and at different times. Whatever works for you. The key is to be consistent and to not talk yourself out of it. Sometimes I squeeze in an extra task, forfeit a moment for myself, and then regret it. This is happening a lot less as the lockdown has taught me how important self-care is, not just for my well-being but for my family too. The Bear Hug pose is a gentle yoga pose. You can do it on the floor, standing, or seated on a chair, with or without a mat. Bear Hug Yoga Pose From a standing position, keep your legs hip-width apart. Make sure your feet touch the ground with all toes, heels and balls of feet on the floor. Give yourself

Coconut bowls are sustainable bowls made from coconut shells that can be used at meal times as a cup and bowl. My family is from Fiji, where Yaqona, also known as Kava, is consumed on a regular basis, go to any resort in Fiji, and you'll most likely be invited to a Kava ceremony where you'll drink Kava from a coconut bowl. [caption id="attachment_14870" align="alignleft" width="150"] Coconut bowl care[/caption]             Maintaining your coconut bowls is easy. Hand wash in warm, soapy water and air dry. Coconut bowls are best suited for room-temperature food, drink, or cool foods. Apply a small amount of coconut oil every 2-3 months (depending on the frequency of use) to add shine and reseal its pores. Do not place in a dishwasher or soak for extended periods of time. Do not use it for hot food and drink, as heat can

There's no need for a complete pantry and bathroom cupboard overhaul, that is, unless you want to do it. Change takes time, testing, resources and finances.   So whether you're adopting a new diet or body care routine, it's worth noting that replacing or substituting brands you normally use with natural and organic ones can be done one item at a time.   Identify your reason to change before making a change. Understand the why.  Take steps to take self-care, self-nourish and love yourself with amazing products.   For me, the motivation to stop using mainstream, cheap and cheerful brands came after a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments and surgeries. I became very conscious of what I was using on my skin, and I slowly made the transition to using natural skin, body, hair care, and makeup. I found that the benefits far outweighed the

Organic coconut flour is a grain-free, wheat-free, and naturally gluten-free alternative to other flours. It is a naturally sweet, fine powder suitable for those following a paleo, gluten-free or plant-based lifestyle. Producers make coconut flour by removing fresh organic coconut meat from the coconut, drying it, and extracting oil. Then, they grind the dried meat into a powder resembling wheat flour. Like other flours, you can use Coconut Flour to make bread, muffins, cookies, fritters, pancakes, or slow-cooked creations. However, its high fibre content and density mean you cannot use Coconut Flour in the same ratio as other flours. It will require more liquid and additional eggs added to a recipe. 1 cup wheat flour = 1/3 coconut flour, Add 1 egg and 1/3 cup of extra liquid for every 1/3 cup of organic coconut flour.

Coconut Twist is a mini collection of my favourite recipes using coconut products. Coconut oil and desiccated coconut feature in many recipes. However, many use coconut flour and coconut sugar in paleo, keto, vegan or plant-based diets or in specific cuisines. I've learnt that coconut sugar can be used in the same ratio as white or caster sugar. Coconut flour, on the other hand, absorbs a lot of liquid and should be used in a 1:4 ratio of plain flour.
