Set your curd with raisins

Set your curd with raisins and have it as a mid-meal - Guideline 6 of the 12-week fitness project 2023.
The beauty of dadi ma’s tradition is that it combines really simple things found in the kitchen to produce really effective remedies. One such combination is setting curd with raisins. Here is the process -
• Take a bowl of warm milk preferably fresh and full fat
• Add 4-5 raisins to it (preferably black raisins)
• Take a small drop of dahi, even better buttermilk, and add that to the milk
• Stir it multiple times (grandmothers say 32 times)
• Cover it with a lid and set it aside for up to 8-12 hrs
• When the top layer appears thick, the curd is ready to eat
• Have it with lunch or as a mid-meal 3-4pm post lunch
Curd acts as a probiotic and the raisins with their high content of soluble fibre as a prebiotic. Together they -
- neutralise the bad bacteria,
- promote the growth of good bacteria,
- reduce the inflammation in the intestines,
- keep your teeth and gums healthy,
- good for the bones and joints too.
Curd is also a well-documented intervention for regulating cholesterol levels, reducing BP and promoting weight loss. It works that much better in the elderly and the young as it prevents constipation and makes it easy to chew on raisins.
