Ayurveda Sweet Grape Chutney
Ingredients:
1/3 cup sweet purple grapes (seedless)
1/3 cup raw cashews or almonds
¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or Red Alaea Salt (from Hawaii)
¼ teaspoon of a mix of the follow churna made using powdered digestive spices: 6 parts coriander 6 parts fennel 1 part turmeric 1/2 part cumin
Saumya Clients: Use your custom savory churna
Directions:
Blend together in a small Cuisinart or Magic Bullet or other such gadget.
How to Use Chutneys:
Think of chutneys as sort of an Indian salsa. Use a small dollop (1-2 teaspoons) with your rice, beans, vegetables, savory snacks, flat breads, and more.
Chutneys are best made fresh each day which works out well by using simple recipes with fresh ingredients. Chutneys from a jar simply don't compare to fresh homemade.

Ayurveda views fruit as one of the purest foods and fruits also enhance ojas. What is ojas? That’s a big question, but for now, let’s look at ojas as the finest digestive by-product—in other words, that which sustains life itself.
Ayurveda Sweet Grape Chutney is a delicious way to enhance your meal, add flavor, and support healthy ojas.

“With Veena’s guidance, with herbs and diet changes, I soon realized that my symptoms were very real. After making the changes, I made small victories along the way, and became better with each appointment with her.
Now almost 6 months later, I am a completely different person. I still have some things to work on, but with Veena’s help, I know I will be able to take control of my health and not leave it to Western medicine that was giving me little to no help and covering up my symptoms with another medication.
I highly encourage getting the longer package, especially if you are working with challenges with your monthly cycle.
Working with Veen has been the best decision I have made for my health. You won’t be disappointed!”
-- Maria Fumagalli, San Diego, California
“Veena has helped me so much! I had been struggling with fatigue for many years. I tried many things, read lots of books, advice, etc. Nothing worked, or very slight positive change over the years, but I was still struggling with the everyday. Then a couple months with Veena, I was stunned at how ayurveda and her customized approach worked! Not only did the fatigue go away, but I actually have renewed energy and feel so physically and mentally energetic! I am so grateful. I feel like I got living my life back.”
--Michelle Cheuk, USA
“Saumya Ayurveda has helped me beyond my expectations! Veena is a wonderfully astute and Ayurvedic practitioner. She’s exceptionally intuitive and empathic and can “see” me and accurately assess my conditions through virtual visits. Veena has been of immense value helping me to alleviate chronic health issues that my doctor could not. I highly recommend Saumya Ayurveda to everyone!” – Paul Kellett, St. Paul, Minnesota
