With Organic India’s foray into the regular grocery items category, keeping your kitchen stocked with such products just got easier. Here are some fuss-free recipes that are sure to turn into family favourites! 

Flaxseed Coffee Smoothie

A delicious, protein and anti-oxidant-rich start to your morning that takes just 5 minutes to whip up. Flaxseed is high in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins B1 and B6, and a host of vital minerals. This shake is a particularly good way to consume flaxseed as most experts recommend ground flaxseed over whole.

200ml unsweetened soy milk

1 banana

1 tsp ORGANIC INDIA flaxseed

1 tsp instant coffee of your choice

1tbsp ORGANIC INDIA multi-floral honey

A few drops of vanilla essence

Preparation

Pour soy milk into a blender jar. 

Add chopped banana, flax seed, and all the other ingredients. 

Whip till smooth and the flaxseed is ground fine. 

Pour into a glass with ice and enjoy.

Brown Rice and Peanut Salad

A healthy, easy-to-prepare salad that goes down well with everyone as it combines three distinct flavours - sweet, chilli, and salty. Brown rice is a great source of dietary fibre (promotes gut health) and has a low glycemic index which makes it perfect for diabetics. 

Ingredients

For the salad

200gm boiled ORGANIC INDIA Brown Basmati Rice

3 bell peppers (one each of red, yellow and green), diced 

1 cup roasted peanuts

A handful of fresh mint leaves

For the dressing

2 inch ginger, finely grated

3 ORGANIC INDIA whole red chillies, finely chopped 

2 tbsp ORGANIC INDIA jaggery powder

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp ORGANIC INDIA sesame oil

ORGANIC INDIA pink salt to taste

For the dressing

In a mixing bowl, add olive oil, soy sauce, ginger, jaggery powder, red chillies, and salt. Whisk well and allow to sit for a few minutes so that the flavours blend well.

For the salad

Boil rice, drain and leave it to cool. (Brown rice takes a little longer to cook than regular basmati rice so be sure to follow the instructions on the packet.)

Crush half the peanuts roughly with a rolling pin.

In a salad bowl, add rice, diced bell peppers, and crushed peanuts.

Pour in the dressing and mix well.

Garnish with remaining whole peanuts and mint leaves.

Dalia and Moong Khichdi

2/3 cup ORGANIC INDIA roasted wheat dalia

1/3 cup ORGANIC INDIA moong dhuli

Open cooker immediately after 3 whistles.

Add peas and mix well.

Tempering

In a frying pan, heat the remaining ghee. 

Add cumin seeds and saute till they sizzle and change colour. 

Pour hot over the khichdi and serve immediately
