THEPLA & RACISM When I posted my thepla yesterday @wimbledon I really didnt expect such openly racists comments - scroll 👉🏽 to see a few. I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to all of you for your kind messages of support. My DMs are FULL and I promise to read them all - it might just take me a while!🥰 Thanks to you reporting the comments they have been taken down by @instagram. I could just rise above it and move on…. That’s what the younger me did… I’ve lived with racism all my life & as a young girl, I walked away, ignored & pretended it hadn’t happened, sufferring in silence. But then what kind of role model would I be for my boys? The older me knows much better. I want to show my children that this behaviour is not acceptable and should be challenged. This is the only way we can actually bring about change. That’s why I am sharing some of the comments to highlight that this behaviour is not acceptable. I also challenged these comments but was met with more abuse. I highly reccomend ‘This book is anti-racist’ by @tiffanymjewell. If you have young children & want to raise little activists that will evoke change in this world. As a family, we have learnt a lot from reading this together. Thank you again for all your wonderful messsages, I really do have a genuine supportive community here that totally outweighs the trolls & I am very grateful for all your love ❤️ finally, thepla recipe below! Chintal x Ingredients: 1.5 cups wholewheat chappati flour 0.5 cups gram flour 1 tsp minced ginger &/or garlic 1 tsp each turmeric, ground coriander & cumin (+chilli powder to taste) Salt to taste 6 tablespoons yogurt 4 tablespoons sesame seeds Handful finely chopped methi or spinach or coriander leaves Rapeseed oil 1️⃣ Bring all the ingredients together and mix well. V slowly add warm water to make a soft dough 2️⃣ kneed the dough for a few minutes 3️⃣ Take a golf ball sized amount of the dough at a time & roll to the thickness of a tortilla 4️⃣ fry in a little rapeseed oil for a couple of minutes on each side until cooked. 5️⃣ Enjoy with pickle, chundo, curry or on its own 😋 #drchintalskitchen #thepla #indianfood #indianrecipes #antiracism

CARROT, CORIANDER & LENTIL SOUP (With hidden courgette 😉) Quick & easy soup for the whole family - suitable from 6m + (swipe 👉🏽to see)with an optional drizzle of homemade wild garlic oil - tis the season 💚 ✅ Delicious ✅ Quick & easy ✅ Protein ✅ Veggies Top tip: Make double & freeze half for a rainy day! I just defrosted this for hubbie & I WFH lunch. Served with buttery sourdough. My boys are not fans of ‘cooked squashy courgette’ so I often add them to soups and sauces that they love. All the flavour - none of the squashy squash! Recipe: 1 red onion - chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 5 cloves garlic - finely chopped 2 tsp cumin seeds Large handful of corriander - chopped 2/3 cup of red lentils - washed & soaked for 1 hour or overnight 400gms carrots - roughly chopped 1-2 courgettes 1 low salt stock cube Salt to taste Fry the onion in the olive oil When soft, add the garlic & cumin seeds mix for 1 min Add all the rest of the ingredients & pour on boiling water cover all the veg. Bring to the boil. Pop a lid on and leave to simmer on a low-med heat until the lentils are soft and full cooked Blend to smooth to serve #drchintalskitchen #soup #souprrecipe #familyrecipes #healthyrecipes #veggies #healthyfood #yum #soups #vegan #veganrecipes #vegetablesoup #weaningmeals #plantbased #pb #wfpb #wholefoods #vegetarianrecipe #familymeals #midweekmeals #carrotsoup #carrotandcoriandersoup #weaningideas #kidsfood #lentils #wildgarlic #garlic #soupideas #lunchideas @theveggiefeed @thefeedfeed @healthfood @cookinglight @ocadouk

I was chatting to a patient recently who had delayed their blood test on 3 occasions because they were nervous about the risks of attending. “Shall I just wait until this is over doctor?” I recently attended for a blood test myself and was surprised at how quiet the usually super busy service was. What I also noticed: 🔹 Everyone was wearing appropriate PPE 🔹 Each phlebotomist had a dedicated work station 🔹 The stations were all clean (see pic 2) 🔹 Social distancing was observed 🔹 I was in and out in under 10 minutes 🔹 There was no queue at my appointment time 🔹 Please note NHS blood tests are all by appointment only - no walk ins 🔹 My GP had my results the next day 🙌🏾 So if you have been referred for a blood test by your doctor, then they have, with you, weighed up the benefits against the risks so please do attend. If you are unsure, please do call your GP to discuss your individual case - we are very happy to help. Hope this is helpful if you do need to attend for a blood test soon, Chintal x
