Karela (bitter gourd) stir-fry for a balanced plateBitter taste (tikta rasa) is traditionally recommended in Ayurveda for people managing blood sugar. A simple karela sabzi is a tasty way to bring more bitter vegetables and fibre to the plate — as food, not medicine.
Spiced buttermilk (takra) with lunchThin, freshly churned buttermilk with roasted cumin is praised in Ayurveda as one of the best drinks for digestion. It is light, cooling to the gut and easy to make.
