    Hi aunty

    I’ve been making many of your recipes for some time now.. I only make saatvik food at home. Very thankful for all the lovely recipes and wisdom you share with us.
    I’ve read that according to Ayurveda, milk and salt is a wrong food combination. Is this true ?

      Hi K. Thank you for kind comments. I have heard about this somewhere else as well (combination of milk and salt) – but never found a mention of this from any reliable source.
