Summer squash and paneer
1 cup of cooked summer squash ( the yellow variety)
1/4 cup of soft paneer
1/4 toasted spice mix
1/4 soma salt
1/4 olive oil
1/4 spring water
Place in the blender and blend until smooth. You may add more water but this mixture is suppose to be thick. This recipes is good to eat with the Quiona pasta, quiona upama or just by itself. It can also be used to stuff vegetables. Make sure if you use it for stuffing anything, it should be more dry so omit the water in the recipe.

Quiona upama
1 1/2 cups of Quiona flakes ( this can be bought at wholefoods in the cereal section with other cooked cereals are sold. )
1 tablespoon of slivered almonds( other nuts like pinenuts can be used.)
1/4 teaspoon of ghee
1/4 treaspoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of spice mix
1 teaspoon of soma salt
1/4 cup of spring water or add more water if needed
3to 4 curry leaves
1/4 cup of soft paneer crumbled
1 teaspoon of chopped cilantro
In a pan add ghee, olive oil, spice mix, curry leaves, nuts, quiona flakes. Mix over med low heat for 10 mins untill the nuts and quiona are lightly toasted. Then add crumbled paneer and toast for another 5 mins. Gradually add water and mix well. If you feel the upama is too dry add a tablespoon of water at a time. The mixture tends to be a bit on the dry side. The main idea is that it should be moist but not the consistancy of upama which is more mushy. When done add cilantro and soma salt.

Green protein for new regime dated Feb. 16,2011
1 teaspoon of paneer
1 cup of greens cut up ( swiss chard, baby spinacn, collard green
1 teaspoon of parsley
1/2 cup of spring water
1/4 teaspoon of spice mixture
1/4 teaspoon of soma salt
Heat a 1/4 teaspoon of ghee in a pan. Add spice mixture and paneer and add 1/4 of water and simmer for 10 minuetes. Then add greens and parsley and add remaining water and soma salt. Cook for about 3 to 5 mins. Make sure the greens are a bright green color. Also you can add more water, if you feel that the green protein is too dry, then add more water. Each batch will differ until you get the right consistancy. It should be thick like pancake batter. Once cooked put in blender and blend until smooth. Add some lime before serving. Once you add lime you cannot reheat, so make sure you add the lime right before serving. You shoud get about 6 tablespoons of green protein and if you are short, add more greens when you are cooking. Sometimes the greens that you use become less when cooked. Usually chard and collard greens yeild more greens than the smaller spinach.
