Aloe vera has been used in Rajasthan for thousands of years to sooth digestive “inconsistencies”, regulate the immune system, blood and heart, and maintain beautiful skin, among many more benefits.

 

The pulp of the aloe plant works best when fresh. It looks intimidating, but is really very easy. Our chef creates unique dishes from the gelatinous flesh such as stir fry and puddings.

 

Ingredients:aloe-3-copy

Vegetables

2 large leaves of aloe vera plant

¾ liter cold, pure water

2 teaspoons honey

Juice of ½ lemon

 

Preparation:

  1. Peel the rounded side of the aloe vera leaves; discard the skin
  2. Slide your knife between the concave side of the leaf and meat
  3. Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth

Enjoy!
