All About Cincau by Hritika Babani

Dr. Cincau …Yes please

Good day to Everyone! My name is Chaya Deepak Babani and my passion has been creating healthy food and drinks to nourish this body and keep it disease free so it can perform with optimum performance.

My Mom’s sister introduced me to this Green Jelly like Substance called Cincau – it is easy to grow and grows rapidly in our temperature here in Jakarta. I’ve always wanted to innovate something for dessert because it seems we all eat healthy throughout the day and when we reach dessert time.. it seems crazy that our whole days nutritious food content can be flushed out totally by enormous amounts of sugar, milk and sweetener.

Here is my Cincau pudding recipe >>

So This Cincau seems to be our answer to our dessert craving – something jelly like – add a little bit of jaggery, coconut sugar, or even some coconut milk and its ready. This is the simplest recipe. You can also get really creative with it and set the cincau on a fancy glass and then layer it with some chia seeds and add some fresh fruit – balls of watermelon, melon, papaya..any fruit basically. Its safer to eat fruits than to eat thick creamy puddings and pies as you know the sugar in fruits is totally natural. Anything that is natural is safer to consume than our man made innovative ideas of sugar, flour and flavoring.

So lets look at the benefits of Cincau and try to at least have it once a week if not once every day. For me, cincau can be a breakfast mixed with fruits & almond milk, it can be a mid afternoon soothing drink or a dessert for the night. Just play with your creativity and I am sure you will dazzle me with your recipes of cincau. Do share them with me. Instagram ig : chayadbabani
