“Kapha” is cough or lubrication which lubricates the body.

Food and Drinks for Summers

Food and Drinks for Summers

1.  Rasala or Shrikhand

Rasala nourishes components of the body, improves sperm, is unctuous, gives strength to the body and makes food tastier. It increases "Kapha" in the body and calms down "Vata" and "Pitta".

Preparation:

Keep the curd hanging in a clean cloth till the solid part is left. Take the left out solid part in a utensil. Take another utensil and tie cloth on the opening to use it like filter. Mix sugar with the solid curd and put it on the second utensil tied with cloth. Rub it gently so the entire solid thing gets accumulated in the utensil after passing the cloth. Mix adequate amount of black pepper, Mace (Javitri), Saffron (Kesar) and cardamom. This is rasala.

2.  Panak

This is a cool drink for summers and provides relief from fatigue, hunger, thirst and mental laziness. It is heavy to digest. It binds the feces and releases urine. It draws its properties from material used to prepare it.

 Preparation:

It is prepared from the flesh of baked unripe mango and ripened tamarind in water. Salt and pepper are added to taste. It is also called “Pana”. It can also be prepared from “Phalsa”(Grewia Asiatica), “Aloo Bukhara”(Plum/Prunes) or “Kafal”(Myrica esculenta).

Almonds, poppy seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds and water melon seeds can be grinded with water and filtered with a cloth. This paste mixed in water with sugar or honey is a good “Panak”. Few also mix rose petal jam in it which is even better.

3.   Sattu

“Sattu” is powder of roasted grain or grams. Almost all types of “Sattu” are light to digest. They alleviate hunger, thirst, tiredness and eye diseases. “Sattu” drinks provide instant energy. “Sattu” should not be consumed twice a day or at night. It should not be consumed without salt or sugar. It should not be consumed after meal. It should always be consumed in form of drink and never in form of dough or paste. Lastly, it should not be consumed too much in amount.

Preparation:

Barley, black gram, lentils etc are roasted and grinded to make “Sattu”. Mix two or three spoons of “Sattu” in water and add salt or sugar for taste. Its ready to be served and very good for summers.
