It always seems difficult to find time to make all these recipes to maintain yourself regularly. I found a shortcut to maintain my face – I usually create a base by grinding 1/2 cup oats and 1/2 cup milk powder and store it. Then depending on what I have in the fridge – I mix it in this powder base.
To tighten – mix egg whites and honey into 1 tsp powder base and apply on face, wash off after dry.
To moisturize – add avocado and almond oil into 1tsp powder base and apply – wash off after dry.
To absorb oil – mix egg whites and lemon juice into 1tsp powder base – apply, wash off after dry.
To tone and cleanse – mix yogurt and cucumber juice ( when you grate and press, juice can be extracted, no need to grind) in 1 tsp powder base and apply , rinse after dry.
If the paste is too tight I mix rose water or water to it. And the list goes on – anything you find like fresh fruits – I usually go to the ones that need no grinding or preparation. This really works – try it! As we don’t find a lot of time as working moms with kids…anything easy works!!

Broccoli, Baby Corn / American and Indian Corn
Kabuli Chana (Chickpeas) and Kala Chana (Black Beans)
Black Beans are my absolute fav and always makes me wish that people would call me for ‘kanjak’ 😀 That’s a tradition in which young adoloscent girls are called home early in the morning, worshipped and fed puri chana and halwa and are given gifts and the whole breakfast is just yum. Its done during ram navmi and durgashtami (the two sacred 9 days in the hindu calender). I am missing it already!! Ok, yes, puri and halwa are not exactly healthy but black beans are a must. They are rich in proteins and full of fibre (more than the chickpeas) and great for snacks, salads or even for burger fillings. Mashed black beans bound with some flour make great tikkis or cakes (I don’t exactly know what tikkis are called in english but I know aloo tikki is potato cake!).
