You can also savour it simply with a side of pickle, yoghurt, or papad for a delightful meal.

For generations, Ayurvedic practitioners have relied on amla juice as a potent health tonic. This refreshing and tart drink is known for its high vitamin C content, which helps with digestion, immunity and skin radiance. It is made from scratch and has no preservatives; you may add honey, ginger, or mint to taste. Wonderful as an early morning shot or a mid-day pick-me-up.

Rasam is a tart, tomato-based, soup-like dish often served as a side with plain rice and sambar. Originating from South India, rasam has a watery consistency–thinner than sambar, and tangier in taste. While typically made from a mix of lentils and tomato, this instant rasam recipe uses only the latter. The result? A delicious side ready in just 30 minutes.
