Turberry Pickle to heal in Pinky Winters

Turberry is not found on google, its coined by us Team Suphala care 🙂

This actually is our super nutritious food, immune boosting, detox our hero Turberry pickle(Fresh Turmeric /Haldi and Indian Gooseberry /Amla)! While it also has a volley of Anti Oxidants from its own sources apart from whole /crushed black pepper,hard dark green chillies, mildly laced with chilly powder,along with Cumin/Jeera, Fenugreek/Methi seeds and Mustard/Rai seeds and asafoetida/hing tampered in gingelly/Til oil !

Yes you are getting introduced to of art of healthy healing pickling diet.

Super simple to make if you are ready to give some arm strength and finger grip ! Yep you need to grate 500 gms of amla and 500 gms of peeled grated haldi, followed by lime juice of 20 medium sized lemons.

Rest is all easy mix rest of the ingredients whole black pepper, chilly powder, salt, lemon juice and grated Amla and Haldi mix well. Store the pickle in clean and dry bottles -glass or ceramic bottles preferably to retain original taste and flavour and less chances of spoilage and plastic contamination. Leave the bottles in cool and dry place and start scooping out after three days and relish it till you finish it!

Now take a bowl of if tamper it with gingelly oil 2 tsp with cumin, mustard and asafoetida and add to bowl of pickle and mix well and serve it with your favourite piping hot plain dal ,steamed rice and yes a spoon of our darling ghee /tuppa to make it a complete food.

This pickle is ideal for the winters in India, you should surely make this if you find gooseberries and fresh turmeric  in plenty in your local markets ! This also encourages your habit of promoting local produce, regional and seasonal foods ! Surely not making a dragon fruit pickle please!

Now there would be 1000 odd question who can eat is it safe for kids, pregnant woman ,elderly, hypertensive, diabetic , weight loss????and many many more….

Well  let us summarise, this is a pickle made with reasonably less salt and less of oil unlike the traditional amla pickle which has loads of oil and salt. Its more of sour and tangy astringent flavours with dash of chilly and pepper flavours which feels more fresh and flavourful. Hence if you are a normal healthy individual and with out any turmeric allergies and not on any hypertensive drugs then you can safely relish it 1 or 2 spoons a day, while you are hypertensive then you can take a half  tsp of it alternate days, keeping a tab incase your blood pressures rise with high salt intake.

This is not for pregnant mothers, uncontrolled blood pressures, renal stones and any other kind of renal/kidney disorders, with high levels of Sodium and Potassium levels. As the key ingredients are rich in loads of vitamin A  and C but also high on Sodium and Potassium levels which can be damaging in case of renal disorders. But surely yes for lactating moms , diabetics, cancer preventing, and all those people who want to eat home made pickles yet feel healthy and strong and trying for a home made detox!

Discover Why Ganesha Loves Jaggery Laddu: Tips from a Dietitian


As part of the series I mentioned during Ganesh Chaturthi, where I share 10 offerings (Prasadam) made to Lord Ganesha and their nutritional benefits, today I present Bappa’s (Lord Ganesha’s) favorite laddu – Jaggery with Groundnuts (Peanuts/Phalli Dana).

This recipe is very simple and quick to make, and it’s also very healthy, especially for kids, young girls, and nursing mothers!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup grated jaggery
  • 1 cup roasted groundnuts, coarsely ground (Note: Do not make a fine powder)
  • Cardamom powder

Instructions:

  1. Mix the grated jaggery and groundnuts.
  2. Add cardamom powder and mix well.
  3. Form the mixture into round laddus. (Note: If the jaggery is too dry and the mixture doesn’t bind, microwave it for 15-20 seconds to soften and moisten it, making it easier to form into laddus.)

Nutritional Benefits:

Jaggery is an unrefined form of sugar made from sugar cane, rich in iron, mineral salts, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It generates warmth in the body and is absorbed gradually, preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar levels. Jaggery also aids in digestion, prevents constipation, and helps with lung and upper respiratory blockages. It acts as a nerve tonic, helps in fluid balance, and purifies the blood. Regular intake can prevent muscular cramps, especially in women.

Groundnuts are rich in proteins, essential fatty acids, fiber, B-complex vitamins (especially niacin and riboflavin), and phosphorus. Cardamom adds flavor and a dash of antioxidants.

This laddu is a complete food, especially for those looking to increase complex carbs, reduce direct fats, and improve fiber intake. It’s a wholesome and delicious offering (Naivedhyam/Prasad), especially loved by kids!

Word of Caution:

  • Use plain peanuts without additives like salt, sugar, or coatings.
  • Roast the peanuts fresh for this recipe; do not use pre-powdered and stored groundnut powder as it can turn rancid.
  • Avoid this recipe if you are allergic to peanuts/jaggery or suffer from frequent headaches/migraines.
  • Remember, anything in excess can be harmful!
