This is a recipe by Prabha that she developed from my prescriptions to patients. During detox season I always recommend Asparagus, White Daycon Radish and Taro Root. It's detoxifying and includes binders to keep the toxins from reabsorbing. It also includes paneer for protein which makes it a complete meal.
