Guys if you like camphor try bhimseni camphor its not a brand but its a more traditional camphor for positive energy you will see a difference I bet, love your family vlogs and the positivity that reflects in your vlogs. Should try Gir cow desi ghee, its the best, buy it online. Try making omlette with ghee, you'll be hooked.

Basen is very heavy to digest and Hing helps in digestion.

[@MsThe90]

Ghee is better for cooking actually, as campared to seed oils. Hydrogenated seed oils are actually bad for you. You can also use cold pressed coconut oil.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

@MsThe90 That’s a good point, we’ll definitely consider that! Ghee is definitely our main source for cooking, can look at coconut oil maybe too😊 Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

If you have bloating dissolve some hing in water and apply around your naval and will get relief or you can drink asafoedita water ie hing water

Chavanprash is good healthy option.. But few brands are overloaded with sugar which are not genuine. Black chavanprash is fake.. Brown chavanprash is original. Make sure it is loaded with Amla not with sugar. Jaggery option is also available. Be healthy... Be safe... 🙏🏻

[@Shortleft_Travels]

@saanntoshsail312 thank you for your inputs and suggestions, we appreciate it a lot! We have tried different brands of chawyanprash, and found we liked this one best, the ones that’s with jaggery/sugar free is not that great for us personally. Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

have you read lauren van der post on the cooking of south africa in a time-life series on the cuisines of the world? i was intrigued by his accounts of the foods developed by the malay kitchen staff of white gentlefolk, especially the snook/snoek cooked with lemon leaves. did they have citrus hystrix growing on the cape or did they substitute local lemon leaves? there is a word of south african origin that people use w/o understanding the baggage attached to ''kaffir lime''. what foods from south africa do you really miss? one of the many failures i have had has been to bring to india strains of eland selected for milk production by the soviet union in ukraine. whether they still survive is a matter of personal pain and regret. the decades spent in ukraine have led to their becoming free of rinderpest and several other dangerous infectious agents very common in the wild forms of this wonderful species [more than one species, in fact].

Kokum sirbat❤️❤️ U can make Sol kadhi from that Kokum agal. Also sometimes put carrom seeds (ajwain) little bit in besan dishes specially when u make vada, onion or potato bhaji it will prevent u get bloat,gases, and helps in digestion… but use very little as they taste little bitter and spicy. If u want to eat fennel seeds do try roast them and then have it…

[@SJ_new]

Unique video and creative concept 👍

[@Shortleft_Travels]

We appreciate your kind words! Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

[@SJ_new]

@@Shortleft_Travels could you try making these please: 1. Rice Kheer 2.Aloo & Pyaz Pakora 3.Bread aloo Pakora 4. Paneer Burji 5. Gajar Halwa with Khoya (Gajar = carrots 🥕) 6. Aate ka Halwa (a.k.a Karaah Parshad in punjabi & served in Sikh Temple)(aata = wheat) 7. Suji ka halwa 8. Khichdi with green moong dal (not yellow dal) I've written all the veg only, if you'd like I'll write non veg too ... Please try making this and I wonder how many of this you'll be taking to south africa with you for lifelong 👍🏻 especially khichdi which is extremely helpful and healthy, moms give this to children when they are sick or having upset stomach so that kids can regain bodily strength quickly also it is the only permissible food by doctors allowing to be brought by patient's family in hospitals as it can be had without chewing and for all ages (although people bring all kinds of foods without permission)

[@onemanarmy5995]

cousin of jeera is so funny 😆😆😆when small child are not understing ,we are also explain like this 😆😆😆👍👍👍

[@archanaindalkar2520]

U can take kokum and extract the juice out of it as liquid is not allowed , I think even two kg can go for a pretty few months till u get new one.

[@Shortleft_Travels]

We’ll definitely keep this in mind, thanks for the advice! 😊 Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

Use hing and jeera with all dals, use wood pressed or cold pressed mustard oil for health benefits, ghee is better when you can make it at home. Turmeric, ginger, fenugreek seeds, cilantro is everyday additions

[@Shortleft_Travels]

Thanks for your tips, will look into the ones we don’t use, yet. Turmeric and cilantro is a daily in our home, we make ghee when we have enough cream from the fresh milk we get 😊 Thank you for your continued support 🙏🏻❤️

[@newdailydosetv]

@ I forgot to mention chawanprash - Dabur brand is sweet version which I assume will get in South Africa but swamala compound is the ayurvedic one which I’ve given to my kids till teenage for immune boast. It is expensive but not sweet but once you enjoy the taste then it’s the best.

Probably using little roasted plain saunf ( fennel seeds) can work. after meals as those coated ones have lots of saccharin which is not recommended for health. Also chyawanprash choose the brand wisely by reading the ingredients inside ( amla content) . Happy shopping guy's.🎉
