Egg- Quorn

[jkvlondon]

You guys should give up eating processed / frozen foods altogether. They aren't good for you, certainly not in the quantities I've observed even Gursikhs shovelling Quorn and Linda McCartney products down their throats.

Fresh vegetables, brown rice, wholewheat pasta (within reason) or even the standard Punjabi roti and daal / sabzi is king, minus the excess butter and oil in the latter dishes. That other stuff drags me down physically and mentally. Not cool.

like I said occasionally , as time has progressed we as a family have progressed away from ready made stuff , now pasta sauces are all from scratch and we like experimenting I have started researching the vegan scene for ideas to move away from the dreaded soya ... milk and butter is from grass-fed/organic cattle Kerrygold and Yeo valley are best for pasture fed .

A tin of chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, methi, coriander, stirred until it all becomes one lovely mixture are what I do for my pasta. I prepare the pasta the night before, cool it down and refrigerate it, and then the next day when my sauce is done I mix it in.

I can't go vegan. Physically, I need milk else I fall ill very quickly. I've tried it and I ended up passing out on a few occasions. It's not ideal but milk works for me. Pushing my luck any further will only do me damage i think. The full fat, blue-top milk is off limits though. I haven't drank that for about 20 years.

have you tried adding more nuts and greens could be you're imbalanced on tissue salts and your BP is dropping too much . I have had that probs with the boys they are 6'1" tall and can faint too heart rate is lower than average and BP too , very lean although eat like horses . I tend to add lots of lightly sauteed veg to pasta instead of tomato based sauces all the time . try broccoli florets stirfried with garlic , OJ, and soy sauce with the hot pasta chucked in after with a small amount of the pasta water ...they easily put away two heads of broccoli in one pan of pasta , in fact the greens are the first thing to disappear from the plates ... we have had broccoli envy at the table ...

I created HULK rice which has turned into a family fave-basically sainsburys chopped frozen spinach (about 10 lumps) is chucked into tardka of onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, masala,(optional to add mustard seeds to tardka) tomatoes before adding frozen sweetcorn , basmati rice and water ....simple one pot cooking served with natural yoghurt.

Nice recipe, the jar sauces are too overpowered with ingredients. Do you just mix it all together, no thorka?

The other milks, check the calcium intake, as they tend to have than the required amount.

I got greens coming out of my ears, lol, but nuts not so much. I find they have a high fat content, and I've had a slow metabolism since I was a kid, so anything with even naturally occurring fat is rough for me. You can imagine what artificial fats do to me. Training is the only reason I'm lean. Even a great diet and no exercise would result in me being soft around the edges.

I add sauted veges to couscous, but not pasta. I like to keep that the old Italian way. But your hulk rice sounds brill. I'm actually going to give that a go on the weekend.

A spoon of olive oil or any healthy alternative to bind it together, bhenji. Cook it properly. You don't want the above under-cooked or even raw.

Mhmm those bad foods come under the tamasic foods. Satvic diet is what is good for the body, while Raj Gun food is good for passion lol (not that we need any).

What foods would come under the Satvic diet category?

What's OJ? Broccoli is good in protein. People think meat has a lot of protein, but it doesn't. Broccoli and lentils have more I think.

Our ancestors actually had good diets based on all the natural organic fruit legumes and vegetables.

but the thing is italians do add veg to their pastas like I do ...fresh leaf spinach wilted into a pan of garlic sauteed mushrooms again chuck into pasta quick and tasty just remember to season with salt and pepper nicely.

leftover saag? since it already has allan just add milk to thin slightly and add cheddar , spinach and cheese sauce for pasta

I also make mushroom stroganoff style pasta sauce using garlic onion mushies paprika smoked and hot then add a little arrowroot and water to create a sauce base from the naturally shedding mushhies juice then stir in a little philadelphia plain to get the creaminess squeeze of lemon and you're done

Thank you Paji, so do you heat the olive oil in a pan and add the rest?
