Just posted Youtube episode: Don’t lose your peace - 4 Yogic keys to relationship harmony! Based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

https://youtu.be/VjlPI9hiPiw?si=XILJ_zqtlm929s_n

I haven’t posted in a long time but I thought I would post a quick video to share some ideas that I thought are very useful in today’s world of constant stress.
Most people face stress in some area or the other but that seeps into our relationships and Yoga sutras give us a great tool to navigate relationships with the proper attitude so we don’t lose our peace of mind.
The goal of Yoga is connecting with our inner bliss while living the world.
✅ Learn the one yoga sutra that gives the answers for right attitude towards all the people we deal with.
✅ Use these keys in your daily life to see if it helps alleviate some of that stress
✅ Practice daily to see results
✅ Awareness is the key and once we train ourselves it will become second nature.

Healthy South Indian Recipe:
Traditional South Indian dish called Adai (Thick lentil pancakes).

Adai is a very healthy dish made with a mix of lentils soaked and ground into a batter and then cooked on the pan. It is packed with fiber and protein. In this recipe I added some veggies to make it even healthier.

🧾Recipe:
Ingredients
1/2 cup of Toor dal (pigeon peas)
1/2 cup channa dal (yellow split peas)
3/4 cup moong dal
1/4 cup urad dal (black gram lentils)
1/2 cup of raw rice (for crispyness)

Soak all of them for a couple of hours and then grind them coarsly. Add salt, asafoetida (hing), and curry leaves.

These can be made into thin pancakes by grinding finely with a little more water.

🌿For this recipe take desired amount of batter and add chopped veggies and follow the video.
I used onions, red peppers, cucumbers (sub zucchini if you like), green chillies.
Shredded carrots can be added as well.
Turmeric powder, chilli powder. ginger.
Roasted peanuts or cashews can be added as well.

Nutrition:
✅ High in fiber
✅ High in protein
✅ Ayurvedic healthy - All six tastes: sweet from rice, astringent lentils, salt, sour from the yogurt dip and pickle, bitter from peppers, spinach and pungent spices.
✅ Filling and satisfying and can be eaten for any meal or as a snack. Only portion will vary.

😋Thick adai (traditionally) is also called Thavala adai which is a slight variation where the lentils are soaked, dried, powdered coarsely and then mixed with sour yogurt and then made it in the pan as shown.
