4 hard boiled eggs
mint leaves
parsley
garlic mayonnaise
pinch of Madras curry powder
salt & pepper
Simply mix everything and spread in whole wheat bread. Add cucumber and tomato slices. This may either be a hot or cold sandwich. I just one a cold one for lunch and just waiting till I get home so I can put the remaining one in my oven toaster and have it hot. I'm actually still full after having this for lunch about 4 hours ago already.
Not very sattvic but surely makes a vegetarian diet more exciting. I still have a lot of work to do regarding making sure that my food is sattvic. Atleast the prana is now moving properly.
Namaste.

Yoga Diet: Mitahara
"Success in Yoga is not for him who eats too much or too little; nor for him who sleeps too much or too little" - Bhagavad Gita VI:16
Food has long been acknowledged as an important component of health and wellness. The yogic diet must consist of sattvic foods which enhance vitality, bring energy, vigor, health, good cheer and joy.
In his book Diet & Nutrition: A Holistic Approach, Dr. Rudolph Ballentine suggested that one's diet should be based on the following food groups:
- Grains
- Legumes, beans and pulses
- Vegetables
- Raw
- B12
The bulk of the daily diet should come from grains, legumes and vegetables. Raw can be taken once a day and B12 once every other day.
There is no single ultimate diet for everyone. One should have a good knowledge of basic nutrition and a wealth of personal experience to come up with a perfect combination of foods and nutrients that is appropriate to one's constitution.
The food should be kept simple but should be tasty and nutritious.
Here is an online article on mitahara by Sri Swami Sivananda.
