Potato Stir-fry aka Batata Upkari – Inherently Vegan!

Inherently #vegan Konkani food series (there are so many!) — number one is a family favourite: Batata upkari, aka potato stir fry. Super easy, super healthy, and a great last minute addition to any meal in a pinch! Kids love it too- my boys call it Konkani “French fries” ?. And please don’t be afraid of the potato- remember that it is full of healthy nutrients including fibre, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and believe it or not, a great source of #plantbasedprotein!

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.
