Corn Bread with Zucchini – A Savory Cake

This delicious recipe is a variation from the original Corn bread recipe from my Ayurvedic Chef training with Divya Alter. It is sooo delicious that I made a few times and added zucchini as this reminds me our beloved “Mücver” (Zucchini Fritters) from Turkiye. 
From Southern American corn bread to Turkish mücver, I think it is a lovely cake-bread that you can enjoy on its own for breakfast or lunch, accompany with a cup of tea or buttermilk (ayran in Turkiye), some fresh greens. This morning after my intense workout, I was so hungry that I ate it with eggs and it was the best complete breakfast for me!
You can use ghee instead of olive oil or you can use half-half. 
I gave options for making it vegan, I hope you can enjoy both.
Enjoy and let me know how it goes!

Servings 8 people
Calories 130kcal

Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs or ½ teaspoon psyllium husk
  • 2 cups cornmeal, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup grated zucchini-squeezed well to take extra water out
  • ½ cup grated fresh fennel (optional)
  • 1¼ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ cups (360 grams) buttermilk (or diluted cow’s milk or vegan yogurt – 1 part yogurt 3 parts water) 
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup (50 grams) olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh dairy or vegan cheese like mozzarella, paneer, etc (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh herbs like parsley, mint, dill
  • 1 teaspoon kalonji/nigella seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Sunflower seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • If you are not using eggs, whisk the psyllium husk in a small bowl, with ⅓ cup of water. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the liquid thickens and turns gel-like.
  • Preheat the oven to 180c. Prepare the oven dish by lining up a baking paper and slightly oiling with olive oil.
  • If you are using eggs, ignore the psyllium husks and just whisk the eggs in a bowl
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, salt, baking soda..
  • In a large bowl, whisk together either eggs or the psyllium husk gel, buttermilk, olive oil and lime juice.
  • Add the cornmeal mixture to this and whisk them altogether.
  • Finally add the fresh herbs, grated zucchinis and carefully mix them into the batter. If you are using cheese, add them as well and carefully mix until incorporated.
  • We are looking for a consistency that is thicker than pancake batter. If the texture and consistency need adjusting, gradually add more cornmeal (if too thin) or more buttermilk (if too thick).
  • Pour the batter into a baking dish and decorate with sesame, nigella and sunflower seeds
  • Bake for 40-60 minutes, until set, light brown in the center, and deep golden brown around the edges.
  • Carefully remove the cornbread from the dish and let it cool on a wire rack for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Soft & Nutty Keto Bagels

Inspired by Bethany’s *Lilsipper*, these keto bagels are a game-changer! With just a handful of ingredients, they’re incredibly simple to make, yet the texture will surprise you—soft, chewy, and delicious.
While the original recipe uses only almond flour, yogurt, and baking soda, I’ve added psyllium powder for extra softness and sesame seeds for their nutrient boost and subtle crunch. A pinch of salt enhances the flavor, and a topping of sesame and nigella seeds makes these bagels irresistible.
For a creative twist, try a sweet version: add a pinch of sweet masala spice (cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, coriander, fennel) and drizzle with melted, sugar-free 100% chocolate after baking. Divine!
Perfect for both savory and sweet toppings, these bagels are low-carb, gluten-free, yeast-free, and sugar-free, with a protein boost from yogurt and almonds. Ideal for quick breakfasts, on-the-go snacks, or hearty sandwiches.

Chocolate Banana Cake

No flour, no sugar, naturally sweetened. This cake is one of our family and friends’ favorite! It is super delicious and nutritious without any gluten and processed sugar at all and it is really easy to make. You can make it vegan by using psyllium powder or chia seeds instead of eggs. I even turned it into a birthday cake by covering it with dark chocolate glaze, sprinkling cacao powder, and decorating it with seasonal fruits.

🌹 Start your day with aloe vera juice with some rose water. 

🥛You can buy ready 100% Aloevera juice or you can make your own by simply mixing with water.

💦 Adding a few drops of rosewater will give a taste as well as more cooling and calming effect.

🧊 Try this instead of iced and acidic drinks and you will feel cooler much longer and without disturbing your digestive capacity.

🫖 After this water, have the cooling tea (recipe in my post just before this) and see the difference in you during these hot days and when you have hot flashes during menopause.

Note: not recommended during pregnancy!

Ayurvedic Crepe Recipe (Ayurvedic Dosa)

I am big fan of everything I can wrap! The Turkish version is “gözleme”, Mexicans have tortillas, French has crepes and Indians have dosas, rotis, parathas.. This Ayurvedic Crepe (Dosa) recipe is made with mung beans and rice and takes some time as you need to soak twice but it is totally worth it. It feels like an omelet and you will be surprised by the texture without any eggs!
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Ayurveda
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 people
Calories 95kcal

Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup White basmati rice
  • 1 cup Yellow split mung beans
  • 1 cup Plus 2 tablespoon of water
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Ground coriander (optional)
  • Ghee or coconut oil for pan frying
  • 1 tsp Turmeric

Filling/topping:

  • Sesame or nigella seeds and/or podi mix or zahter; chopped fresh herbs, fresh cheese crumbles, steamed or grilled vegetables, chutney/pestos

Instructions

  • Take 2 separate bowls for soaking. Wash and strain the rice and mung beans separately, very well until the water runs clear. Transfer them into these separate bowls and  cover them with fresh water and soak for at least 6 hours or overnight.  After soaking, strain and rinse the rice and mung beans.
  • Grind the rice in a blender or food processor with ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon of water, on high speed until you reach a soft batter. Add more water if it is too thick. It should be like a pancake batter. Put it back in the bowl. 
  • Then grind the mung beans, again in a blender or food processor with ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon of water. Grind until the mixture becomes like pancake batter, blending on high for at least 3 minutes. If your blender gets hot, stop.
  • Add the blended rice on top of mung beans and shortly mix them altogether, until the batter gets soft and fluffy.
  • Pour the batter to a bowl, cover with a towel, and leave it somewhere warm to ferment for 8-12 hours or overnight.
  • Fermentation will make the batter rise in the bowl.  The more the dough ferments, the lighter and fluffier the dosa.
  • At the end of the fermentation period, add salt, turmeric and coriander. If the consistency is too dense add some warm water and mix well.
  • Warm a cast iron or ceramic nonstick frying pan over medium heat and use ½ teaspoon  ghee per dosa in the pan.  Cook the dosa as you would a pancake.  Pour 1/3 cup of the dosa batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly.  If the batter is very thick, use the back of a large spoon to spread it in circles until the dosa is thin. You can also add a little warm water to the batter if it gets too thick.
  • When the dosa bubbles and the edges start to come away from the pan, check to see that the bottom is nice and brown. It’s done. If you like your dosa crispy, flip it and cook for a few more minutes.  Each dosa takes about 5 minutes.
  • Variation: you can sprinkle seeds, nuts, cheese, herbs on top of your batter during cooking, when you pour the batter into the pan and finish shaping it.
  • Serve with chutneys, cooked vegetables and herbs. You can make sweet versions by topping with honey or marmalade.
