Today, I’m thrilled to share a menu curated by Anjana ji from Maayeka. The name “Maayeka” means “mom’s house,” and as the title suggests, Anjana ji started this blog to keep a record of her cooking for her daughter, sharing cherished recipes with all of us.
This week’s menu focuses on Sattvic cooking, which avoids onions and garlic. According to Ayurveda, Sattvic meals promote a healthy and balanced body by using ingredients that don’t generate excessive heat. The Week 47 menu is simple yet scrumptious, highlighting wholesome and nourishing dishes.
