Marvels of Indian Jam, Juice, Sauce, Salad &.....

Marvels of Indian Jam, Juice, Sauce, Salad & ……. Is my fifth book in the series on culinary items. “Nature is bliss and blissful are those who could co-habitat with Nature”

Fresh Juices give us freshness, coolness and removes tiredness. A number of juice syrups have been indicated, which can be prepared and kept for serving chilled during evenings for refreshing and re-vitalizing oneself. The health Juices/ extracts mentioned in the book have a plethora of health benefits, the consumption of which over a period may help to overcome common lifestyle problems such as acidity, flatulence etc.
Health juices from extracts of traditional plants like Tulsi, Plaintain etc. not only boosts the immune system but also acts as a stress buster.

Many variants of milk shakes and Lassi have been included in this book. Chill yourself with a wide variety of around 3 dozen fresh juices, milk shakes, lassi and health juices. The book busts the myth that reparation
that preparation like jam, jelly, sauce etc. can only be prepared by experienced people. The base for such recipes, viz. preparation of fruit pulp, sugar syrup etc. has been outlined in the beginning of the section. A large variety of Salads and soups have been indicated keeping in mind the health potential of natural vegetables.

The book also contains recipes on “Murabba” a sweet desert made of fruits. It is sincerely believed that the book will be a ready reckoner for adopting a food habit that will bring one closer to “Nature” towards a
more “ blissful state”.
