Hemp protein powder




I have never had hemp protein before. After having Viva Labs - The Finest Organic Hemp Protein in warm milk, the closest I can liken it to is urad dal (Vigna mungo). The texture, taste and smell are very close to urad dal. If you dont like its grassy, nutty flavour - remember the mantra that it is a high quality protein. I have just started strength training, so I know this will do me good.
Since this is a new product, I am slow on finding ways to use it. some good ways seem to be - in pancakes, smoothies, brownies. It ha a grassy flavour which can be masked with Viva Labs - Cocoa powder.
In 'Ultimate Protein Powder - Think outside the Shake', Anna sward cautions that 'Like pea, rice and to a certain extent casein protein powder, hemp protein absorbs lot of liquid' . So remember this while making substitutes.
I like Viva Labs pride in the making of heir product which reflects in every packet on on the labeling.

Egg Malai Masala

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
