The recipe is almost the same as the one with tofu and eggplant because they have the same basics. However, the “tempeh” makes it taste completely different. Some clarifications, before we get to the recipe. [...]

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
Gugri or channa is the Indian name for chickpeas or garbanzo beans and I remember my mom preparing gugri for special occassions only.

If you like to have a light breakfast with fruit or if you have lactose intolerance, this is the shake for you! I created this recipe because I like having fruit in the morning but dislike the sour of an orange.
