Fennel Greens Pesto

Fennel Greens are sweet, bitter and pungent. An awesome combination of tastes. Light, cooling and easy to digest, these greens make a great pair with the heavy, hot and oily pine seeds to form a wonderful pesto.

Here's what you need:

A bunch of Fennel Greens

Some Pine Nuts (add more or less as per your liking)

A pod or two of garlic

Some Black Salt

Some water

And here's what you do:

Pulse everything together and add a dash of lemon. Can be stored in the refrigerator.

Can be used in many ways but here is the most favorite:

Boil farfalle. Add grated cheese (any medium hard variety - processed also works great) in a bowl. Add a spoonful (or more) of the pesto to this along with some walnuts, olives and cherry tomatoes. Drain and add the still hot pasta (mixed with little olive oil on top of the mixture. Mix well and serve. Adding hot pasta ensures cheese is melted and well-blended.

This dish covers all six tastes, five of which are allready present in the pesto and walnuts adding the sixth which pesto misses out.

Dwadashi Meal

The breaking of the fast is called paraņa and you will find a lot of different opinions and restrictions with regards to when and how a fast should be broken, at which phase of the sun and moon and with which foods in particular. When I am fasting, I try not to focus on rules and restrictions because the idea of fasting is to free the mind, not bind it further in rituals. And when you impose strict fixed schedules and too many rules with regards to eating on the mind, it is bound to focus on food. Like it is said in the Geeta: yatato hy api kaunteya puruṣasya vipaścitaḥ indriyāṇi pramāthīni haranti prasabhaḿ manaḥ Meaning: The senses are so strong and impetuous, son of Kunti, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them. I enjoy fasting because it helps me focus on reading the Bhagwat Geeta. But when my Karma calls me, it becomes difficult to focus on reading and understanding. I need this body to...

Putrada Ekadashi

So, here comes one more Ekadashi which is said to be an auspicious tithi for achieving one's desires. I am fasting today so I am going to share the story related to this tithi. Why fasting on these days is beneficial, we have talked about in previous posts; what we haven't discussed yet is how it helps in the fulfillment of desires. That is the subject of another post. Now again there are many stories that can help one understand, all you have to do is read them with devotion and belief to understand the science behind fulfillment of desires. Heres the story of Putrada Ekadashi as it appears in the Bhavishya Purana. Shri Yudhisthira Maharaja said, "Oh Madhusudana, Oh killer of the Madhu demon, please be merciful to me and describe to me the Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Shravana (July-August)." The Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna, replied, "Yes, Oh king, I shall happily narrate its glories to you, for just by hearing about this...
