Scorching heat often leaves us not willing to eat something heavy and reduces our appetite. Beat the heat with our light, refreshing, and summer-appropriate dish: chia-curd rice. Chia seeds are hydrophilic, meaning they can absorb water and help retain moisture. Soaking chia seeds in water before consumption allows them to swell and form a gel-like consistency, which can aid in hydration. They are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.

Not only this, but other key ingredients such as yoghurt, cucumber, and carrot are known for their cooling properties. Additionally, yoghurt is rich in probiotics, beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy gut microbiome. This dish leaves you feeling entirely satisfied without weighing you down.
