Part II recipes

Overview

General Guidelines & Tips

1. Be in a calm state of mind when cooking. Have the intention that whatever you cook, and course participants eat, goes toward their spiritual development.
2. Everyday before cooking, please make sure you've had a bath, do puja THEN start cooking. Guruji's photo in kitchen is optional.
3. Personal hygiene – All cooks must have long hair tied back, nails cut. Women in their menstruation should not enter kitchen at all. (Use your discretion. If you are and there is no other option then just pray to gurudev).
4. Before prepping food, Course participants must have their nails cut and hands washed. Be conscious of touching hair, face etc. If you do please wash your hands again. If any injury, cuts etc. please do not touch food. You can do some other seva.
5. Have fruit, hot tea, Drinking water, Nuts and/or dates available at all times.
Before breakfast, set up almond milk, regular milk, honey etc. No bread or any heavy carbohydrates to be served.
6. Keep lunches light, as participants need to do meditation.
7. All meals are vegetarian. Also NO onions, NO garlic, NO eggplant, NO mushroom, No Soy sauce (Instead use Braggs amino)
8. Quantity Measurements. I usually measure for about 4 people, then multiply accordingly. For example if the menu calls for salad, salad dressing, Rice and Dal. So if you have to cook for 30 people, Rice: 1 cup for 4 people.
9. Find out if anyone is allergic to any foods or spices. Be careful in using these in the cooking. I usually do a certain process and take some food out for people before adding the spices etc that people are allergic to.
10. For VEGANS, please avoid all dairy in the food.
11. Cooks may taste the food. Take some quantity in a spoon, step outside the kitchen, taste. Throw the spoon in the dishwasher. No double dipping with the same spoon. Taste only if you feel you are not sure. Course participants are encouraged not to taste food while prepping. No singing also. (saliva)
12. All produce must be organic. No canned stuff. No leftovers to be served. All leftovers to be thrown or given away to non-participants. (Use wisdom)
13. Be creative. Go with the flow.
14. Pray before each meal.

"Saha Na Vavatu, Saha Nao Bhunaktu, Saha Veeryam Kara Va Vahai Tejasvi Na Vadhi Ta Mastu Ma Vidvishavahai. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti"

16. Right now in Seattle it is probably kapha time(cold and wet both) of the year, so a kapha pacifying menu is good. Incorporate more bitter, pungent and astringent tastes in your diet. Buy what's seasonal from organic farmers market and you cannot go wrong.
17. Use warming foods in your diet. Use less of dairy, nuts, seeds, sweets and heavy foods.
18. More lighter grains like quinoa, millet, couscous etc.
19. Winter spices are mustard, cumin, dry ginger, fresh ginger, cumin, peppercorn, black pepper, cloves. Use parsley and lemon juice generously. Use bitter greens, carrots, broccoli, celery, radishes, peppers, spinach and arugula.
20. Use salads: mixed greens, spinach, arugula, carrots, celery, bell pepper with herb dressings. Simple dressings using olive oil, lemon juice, seasonal herbs, salt and pepper
21. Use herbal teas with ginger, cinnamon and licorice good for this time of the year with cough/colds.
22. Should only use raw honey but since it's very expensive its better to go with maple syrup (grade A) or organic blue agave.
23. For 10 people probably use 8-10 cups of water and 2 cups of mung

An adaptation of the Moroccan classic dish, this Americanized version melds sweet with savory and just a tinge of heat. Part of its charm lies with its handsome presentation, which shows off its many textures and colors. Feel free to make your own adaptations using golden raisins instead of black ones, and summer squash, fava beans or trimmed green beans for the zucchini and chickpeas. This meal-in-one calls for accompaniments of toasted pita triangles and a spicy hot or chilled tea, plus something exotic for dessert, such as a wedge of baklava or a dish of rose-scented Persian ice cream.

Directions
Using a large saucepan, cook grains with raisins according to package directions and with no added fat.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium heat and when hot, add ginger and sauté. Add cayenne, paprika and zucchini and sauté 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and green peas, and season to taste.
Stir vegetable mixture into cooked couscous. Spoon into large serving dish, making well in center. Fill well with dates and cashews, and garnish dish with parsley and mint leaves. Serve hot or at room temperature.
