This is a super simple and yummy recipe, made with olive oil, herbs, and garlic, and it works great as dipping oil, salad dressing, on pasta, or anywhere else you see fit! I like to spread a piece of garlic and some oil on crusty bread.

Turmeric, Ginger and Garlic Relish
Turmeric, ginger and garlic are considered superfoods and supposed to have multiple health benefits including remedy for digestion, inflammation and viral infections. This recipe of finely chopped ginger, garlic and turmeric seasoned with ghee/ butter and dry spices is not only good for health especially colds and flu but also extremely tasty (though a bit spicy) when taken as a relish or side dish. But then sometimes we need alternatives to spicy pickles.

Dahi Vadas without oil (steamed)
We all crave for chaats. Dahi Vadas is one of the popular chaats. However, being health conscious, we also want to avoid eating fried foods. I tried making a healthier version of dahi vadas by steaming the vadas instead of deep frying. Surprisingly, the taste was very similar to the traditional fried vadas.With elimination of oil, it becomes a very healthy food with lentils and dahi being the main ingredients. You can satisfy your cravings and stay healthy too.
Fresh turmeric (haldi) pickle
Haldi (turmeric) is one of the best natural anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antioxidant herbs. Its popularity is increasing every day and fresh turmeric is available in most of the stores all over the world. Eating pickled turmeric with meals not just adds taste to the food but also provides health benefits. It’s very simple to make and can be stored in the fridge for about 30 days.
