A WINTER IMMUNITY BOOSTER

Boost your immunity in winter with vitamin C-rich Amla to prevent flu and colds. Such foods in your diet help maintain a strong immune system and combat seasonal illnesses effectively.

Here are 5 steps through which you can make Amla Dal and Rice for immunity this winter. 

4-5 ripe amlas, 1 cup toor dal (pigeon pea lentils), 4 cups water, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, salt to taste, 2 tablespoons ghee, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, a few curry leaves, fresh coriander leaves for garnish. 

Clean and remove seeds from amla fruit. Blend amla into a fine paste then keep it aside.

Soak toor dal for 30 minutes. Pressure cook with water, turmeric, and salt. Cook for 3-4 whistles until soft and mushy.

Heat ghee or oil, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves in a pan. Then add grated amla paste and sauté until the flavour is diminished.

Combine amla paste with dal and mix evenly for flavour.

Serve the Amla Dal hot with steamed rice. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
