Ayurvedic Crepe

This delicious crepe, inspired from my teacher Laura Plumb, is made of mung beans and rice, fermented by soaking about 20hours in total! If you start soaking from the morning, you can enjoy it the next day!
It is totally worth the effort with its perfect texture and taste, no gluten-dairy content!
You can enjoy at breakfast with stewed fruits, marmalades, tahini, etc as well as for lunch with baked or steamed veggies.

Chickpea & Zucchini Muffins

Chickpea flour has become my new favorite thing. I could not eat chickpeas as much as I want since I am a chronic vata and beans like chickpeas give me so much bloating and discomfort. Now I learned how to make it better with spices and cooking techniques.
These muffins include loads of herbs that are great for spring season, light-astringent-bitter. They remind me of the Turkish Mucver, which is a mix of zucchini-feta-yogurt-eggs-flour-herbs, fried in oil. These delicious fritters are very heavy and not so suitable for this season, where we need lightness.
So I made this vegan version, gluten-dairy-eggs free and baked for extra fluffy texture. They can be considered like soft breads, accompanying your breakfast or soups, and they contain a balance of protein, low carbs and fiber of veggies.

Vegan Cheese Recipe

Here is one of my favourite cheese recipes of all time!
Course Side Dish
Cuisine International
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Calories 86kcal

Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Cheesecloth

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw sunflower seeds (or any nut of your choice)
  • 1 small Fresh Ginger, minced (~1/2 tbsp)
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder
  • 1/2 lemon or lime (zested)
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Mix of spices: cumin-corinader-fennel grinded (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp Finely minced fresh dill, parsley, mint (Serving)

Instructions

  • Place seeds or nuts in a bowl and cover with cool water. Cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator to soak for 12 hours. Drain seeds/nuts thoroughly and add to food processor. Add all ingredients. Process until very creamy and smooth, scraping down sides and adding additional water as needed. Then taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon zest for tartness, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, ginger for zing, or salt for flavor + balance
  • Place a fine mesh strainer (or colander) over a large mixing bowl, and lay down two layers of cheesecloth (or a clean, fine, absorbent towel)
  • Use a spatula to scoop all cheese over the cheesecloth, then gather the corners and twist the top gently to form the cheese into a “disc.” Secure with a rubber band
  • Place in refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours, preferably 12, or until excess moisture has been wicked away, and it holds its form when released from the cheesecloth. The longer it sits in the fridge the more it will firm up
  • To serve, unwrap from cheesecloth and gently invert onto a serving platter. Reform with hands or cheesecloth as needed, then coat with chopped herbs and a bit more lemon zest (optional). It is fragile, so handle gently
  • Enjoy chilled with seed crackers or vegetables. Cheese will hold its form for 1-2 hours out of the refrigerator, but best when chilled
  • Leftovers keep well covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days

Incompatible Food Chart: Dairy Foods https://www.ceylanayik.com/incompatible-food-chart-dairy-foods/ https://www.ceylanayik.com/incompatible-food-chart-dairy-foods/#respond Mon, 18 Apr 2022 09:13:21 +0000 https://www.ceylanayik.com/?p=5366 Today I will share the compatibility of dairy with other food. Cause dairy intolerances are so common that some of us forgot the amazing taste and benefits of an organic, grass-fed, fair farming dairy. Dairy is a big subject, needs pages to talk about, especially how to find a good source where you know animals are treated well rather than with cruelty. 

If you can find but have digestion problems, try to combine in the right way and see how your digestion reacts.

1. Milk and Heavy Cream

Ok to Combine

  • Spices: Turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, saffron, vanilla & more
  • Sweet Dried Fruits: Dates, soaked raisins
  • Ghee, butter
  • Nuts, sunflower/pumpkin seeds
  • Grains: Wheat, rice, oats, amaranth, quinoa, pearl / proso millet

Don’t Combine

  • Sour / Acidic Foods: Cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, citrus, alcohol, tomatoes, pickles
  • Eggs, meat, fish/seafood, seaweed
  • Salt, sesame
  • Fresh fruits
  • Vegetables: Leafy greens, radishes, nightshades (eggplant, pepper, tomatoes), onion, garlic
milk food compatibility

2. Yogurt

Ok to Combine

  • All natural sweeteners, especially honey
  • Grains: Wheat, rice, oats, amaranth, quinoa, millet, barley
  • Non-leafy vegetables like zucchini, summer squash, cauliflower, broccoli, radish, cucumber
  • Nuts, seeds
  • Easy to digest lentils like split mung beans
  • Dried Fruit: Dates, raisins, figs, apricots, cranberries etc

Don’t Combine

  • Heavy to Digest Beans & Lentils: Black, kidney, pinto, cannellini
  • Eggs
  • Milk and heavy cream
  • Leafy greens like spinach, kale
  • All fresh fruit, especially banana
  • Nightshades: Eggplant, white potatoes, peppers, tomatoes
yogurt food compatibility

3. Cheese

Ok to Combine

  • If digestion is strong, bread, crackers, pasta
  • Leafy Greens: Swiss chard, kale, collard greens, spinach
  • Nothing: Better not be eaten alone
  • Easy to digest lentils like red lentils, mung beans
  • Nuts
  • Non-starchy vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, radish, string beans

Don’t Combine

  • If digestion is weak, bread, crackers, pasta
  • Eggs; milk, heavy cream
  • Meat, fish/seafood
  • Fresh fruit
  • Heavy to digest beans like black, kidney, pinto, cannellini, lima
  • Nightshades: Eggplant, white potatoes, peppers, tomatoes (if digestion is weak)

Best Food Combinations for Better Digestion https://www.ceylanayik.com/food-compatibility/ https://www.ceylanayik.com/food-compatibility/#respond Mon, 18 Apr 2022 08:35:51 +0000 https://www.ceylanayik.com/?p=5363 There is a very interesting and a bit shocking concept in Ayurveda called Food Compatibility and there 18 different versions of it. From the seasonal compatibility to time of the day, from the metabolic effect to the geographic location, there are 18 ways Ayurveda questions the appropriateness of a meal. 

👩‍🍳 Cause cooking Ayurvedic means making the food easy to digest, since you are NOT what you eat but you are what you CAN DIGEST 🍲 If you can not digest your food properly, then it becomes a toxin and stays with you a long time, eventually causing diseases. 

When you first learn these, you might react and protest :)) In our class during this lecture, many just could not believe that for example fruit yogurt is a very bad idea for digestion. There is an exception though which says that if you are used to eating it since childhood and it does not bother your digestion (honestly), then it is Ok in moderation. Otherwise you should make sure to check with these criteria to have your digestive track working efficiently.

Ayurvedic Whole Grain Porridge

Porridges are my favorite breakfasts in the last couple of years. And this is coming from a Turkish who loves her cheese-olives-tomatoes-greens-egg-simit bagel or toast combination for almost all her life!
When I started Ayurvedic nutrition and learned that mornings are not the ideal time to eat raw vegetables, eggs, gluten, etc as our digestive capacity is really low, I started trying porridges.
I make different versions with oats, amaranth, quinoa flakes, barley, and buckwheats according to the season.
This Ayurvedic Whole Grain Porridge is a creamy, light, delicious one that is easy to digest and calms you down and gives you warming energy. Cooking with quinoa flakes is also easy but you can make it with oats and other grains, too.

  • 1 tbsp Sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds
  • 4 tbsp Quinoa Flakes (or any other grain flakes) Note that these are not the same with quinoa grain itself. these are the light an dfluffy flakes. You can replace with oats or any other grain.

Instructions

  • Add a little hot water, just to cover the ingredients. Mix well and simmer at low heat, covering partially. Keep some hot water next to it and as it absorbs very quickly, add a bit more slowly. You can also replace this next part of water with milk and adding it slowly as the porridge cooks
  • Cook about 10 minutes until everything is soft and cooked but not too dry. It should have a creamy texture
  • Meanwhile toast almond and coconut shaves in a small pan until they turn into lightly brown color

Add chia seeds (I added 2 tbs for about 1kg plums) before or after blending the plums in a blender or food processor and mix them all. Pour to jars while they are hot, seal well and let them cool. I keep them in the fridge just in case.

Cucumber & Coconut & Lime & Mint Smoothie

Refreshing but not frozen Smoothies to Cool Down!
Did you know that the best way to cool down is not ice cold drinks or ice-creams!! I did not know and recently learned from my Ayurveda training that ice cold of anything may feel like cooling you at first but then it blocks/slows down the digestion and so your body will need more energy to get back to its digestive energy and so heats you up again after a short while.Instead, room temperature drinks, made with cooling herbs, fruits, spices will give you better refreshment!😍
Here is one of my favourite and you can always play around with other ingredients at home. Make sure you do not make it too sour or salty as it would increase the heat and instead make it slightly sweet and use the cooling spices in the ingredients. Enjoy!

Amaranth Halva Porridge

Amaranth is my new favourite breakfast, as it tastes like the "Irmik (semolina) Helva" from my country, Turkey. It is a high protein, gluten-free, ancient grain with a lovely nutty taste. When you make it with a bit of plant base or regular milk, it gets a creamy delicious halva taste!
The “chai” spices are wonderful digestive, detox spices that add a warming flavor for this season. I discovered this with @lauraplumb ‘s seasonal cleanses and added the pine nuts and pistachios on top to remember the taste of Turkey!
Try this and let me know how you like amaranth! You can cook it sweet or savory, and use it like rice-bulgur-quinoa.
