Had a wonderful time speaking at the Beyond the Salad Bowl Lunch & Learn 🌱

We had a great discussion on what plant-based eating really looks like beyond salads — focusing on balanced meals, everyday practicality, myth busting, and simple ways to add more plant foods to your routine.

So grateful for the opportunity to connect, share, and talk about how nourishing food can support long-term health and wellness. Thank you to everyone who attended and participated! 💚

🥗 What is on my plate
🥬 Spinach and Greek yogurt kootu
🥭Mango dhal
🫛Beans curry
🍅Tomato rasam

A simple combo that tastes as good as it looks. Whole food goodness that is easy to make.

Dhal recipe
1 cup moong dhal
1/4 cup chana dhal
2 green mango peeled and diced
1 tsp turmeric
Green chili to taste
Curry leaves optional
1 tbs mustard seeds
1 tbs cumin seeds
Cilantro for garnish

Combine dhal, mango , turmeric and salt to taste with 4 cups water and cook in Instant pot pressure cook mode for 0 minutes or simmering in a pan tin lentils are cooked.
Heat 1 tsp oil and add mustard seeds, cumin and when it turns color add a pinch of asafoetida and sliced green chili and curry leaves and add it to cooked lentils and add cilantro.

Spinach Greek Yogurt Kootu
Spinach from 16 oz box
2 cups greek yogurt
2 tbs cumin
1/4 cup grated coconut
1 inch piece of ginger
1 tbl rice flour
Green chili to taste ( I used 3/4 pablano)
Cook the spinach with a 1/4 cup water with salt. Blend using a hand blender. Or you can chop the spinach and skip blending. Blending version is easier for me.

What is in my plate🥗 Adzuki beans, moong dhal kootu with asparagus and mix veg, eggplant curry and beans peas curry.

DID YOU KNOW CURRY/ KARI ACTUALLY MEANS A VEGETABLE THAT IS COOKED AND SERVED AS. SIDE?

What I like about this combo- The blend of spices (urad dhal, black pepper, kashmiri chili, cumin and grated coconut that elevates the dhal cooked with mixed vegetables and turmeric. This dhal is one of the everyday dishes in Southern India called poritha kootu and can be made with many vegetables or spinach. I like asparagus in this. Adding sprouted adzuki beans for extra texture,protein and fiber.
🍆 Eggplant cooked with fresh masala is a perffect side
🫛Beans and peas to add more nutrients and fiber

🍚Served with parboiled ponni rice - Like it for the texture and lower glycemic index than white rice.
