This simple ingredient transforms most the Punjabi/Multani dishes. Your diners will not know why the dish does not taste like the one they make and the secret is this simple concoction that I recommend you make and keep in your fridge (it will stay good for a month or so).

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 dried red cayenne peppers
  • 10-15 green chilies
  • 2 inch lemongrass stalk, minced
  • 2tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method:

Break the red cayenne pepper and add the skin and seeds into a 2 tbsp of warm water and soak them fro 20 minutes. In a mortar and pestle, grind the green chilies with 1/2 tsp of salt and lemongrass paste. Add the red cayenne peppers to it and grind some more till everything is almost a paste (as is seen in the image above). Add lemon juice, mix it and store in a tight container in the fridge and use for up to a month.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
