- First add noolkol / kohlrabi in cooker. Add 3/4 cup of water and cook covered(use a plate to cover not cooker lid) on medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes as noolkol takes time to cook.Then add carrot, yam, raw banana and potato.
- Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, curry leaves and mix well. Cook covered for 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are half cooked. Keep checking.
- Then add beans, avvarai, fresh green peas,raw mango and cook covered until it is cooked yet hold their shape. Take care not to cook them to a mush or over cook. If it will become mushy then aviyal will not be good.
- Meanwhile grind coconut, green chillies, jeera adding little water to a coarse paste.
- Now check the vegetables will be almost cooked.Add the grinded coconut mixture along with required salt. Without mixing cook covered(cover with plate don't use cooker lid) for 2 to 3 minutes.I added little water as I don't like too much dry aviyal.
- Mix the coconut mixture gently and remove from flame.
- In a small pan heat coconut oil and add mustard seeds and little hing. After it crackles add it to the Aviyal and mix gently.Then cover it.
- Delicious Aviyal is ready to serve.
How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Many of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super healthy and good for you. There are several foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are terrific at combating depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Consume an egg and feel a lot better!
Make a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you wish to feel happier. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly elevate your mood.
Grains can be great for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. They can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is wonderful for moods. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine.
