Sapna Punjabi on her debut cookcook Dal Chawal
I speak to Sapna Punjabi as the clock ticks way past midnight in her Texas home. After donning the hats of a dietitian, Ayurvedic practitioner, and founder of culinary wellness-spice brand beSPICED, Sapna wears a new one, that of a cookbook author. As we sit down to chat about the recently-launched Dal Chawal (published by Hardie Grant Books), Sapna says the idea to pen a cookbook was brewing for a while. 'I wanted to create something that I can share with others in a tangible form. A project that brought together my vegetarian lifestyle, Ayurvedic learnings, and my experience as a neo-natal dietician,' she says. With Dal Chawal, the author has put together 85 vegetarian recipes blending two simple ingredients: dal (lentils) and chawal (rice). With chapters dedicated to dals such as moong, masoor, chana, toor, urad, rice preparations, and another with classic combinations such as handvo and chakkara pongal, Sapna also highlights each dish's Ayurvedic properties. 'The book is a homage to all Indian mothers. The dishes are prepared in Indian homes every day, and my aim was to celebrate these simple recipes,' she says. 'I am a first-generation immigrant whereas my children are American so I wanted these dishes to be cool for my Gen Z kids. For example, I grew up eating sookha moong dal with rotis but I use the recipe as a taco filling for my children. Similarly besan chillas turn into burger patties.' 'The book was not written to impress the Western audience, but to celebrate ghar ka khaana,' says Sapna, who worked as a dietician in Mumbai before moving to the US in the late 1990s. 'I started cooking for myself after moving here, and when I worked as a neonatal dietician, my co-workers were always curious about what I ate and where I got my protein from!,' she says, adding that dal and rice are a complete protein meal in themselves. 'This is also the root of Ayurveda, and something our grandmothers and mothers knew all along,' says Sapna. 'Be it adding hing (asafoetida) to a dal's tadka (tempering), drizzling ghee on hot rice, or having a ginger-turmeric pickle always in our fridge growing up, these techniques aid digestion,' says Sapna, adding that the two additional chapters on pickles and digestive drinks stemmed from this perspective. Which is why, she says, the title Dal Chawal fit the bill for the book's title and theme. 'It brings about an instant connection with readers, and we all have our core memories with these ingredients. Be it a khichdi (porridge) when one is sick, or a sweet preparation for a festival.' Her mother's cooking had a huge influence on Sapna's choice of dishes for the book. 'I'm Sindhi by lineage, my parents were born in Mumbai but had Gujarati influence as they stayed in Ghatkopar, and growing up in Maharashtra gave me exposure to Marathi cuisine,' says Sapna, who wanted to honour India's many regions through the dishes. For instance, the shalgam wali dal (spiced turnips with moong dal) is from Kashmir, chaunsa dal from Uttarakhand, Kumbakonam kadappa (moong dal stew with potatoes) is from Tamil Nadu. These recipes were tested by her several times, and Sapna also roped in friends and colleagues from different ethnicities to test them. 'I wanted to make sure they can be replicated easily. I had them share their feedback and images of the dish they made. A few did not make the cut as they were too extensive and advanced,' she shares, adding that her long-term goal is to incorporate dal-chawal in American food services such as educational institutions, hospitals, etc. 'Tofu and hummus are recognised as go-to protein sources, and I hope to make dal-chawal as mainstream as them,' she says. As for her favourites, Sapna believes there is a dish for every mood. 'While my children love the Sindhi dish sai bhaaji and bhuga chawar (rice with caramelised onions), I love the Gujarati khatti meethi (sour-sweet) dal, kanda bajjis (onion fritters) on a rainy evening, or khichdi after a long journey,' concludes Sapna. Priced at ₹3,296, Dal Chawal is available on

Curfew relaxed in five districts in Manipur
Imphal, June 11 (UNI) Curfew was relaxed for 12 hours on Wednesday in five districts of Manipur to enable people to purchase essential items, authorities said. The curfew was relaxed from 5 am to 5 pm in Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Thoubal and Bishnupur, they said. However, a ban on internet services was still in force. Heavy rush was seen in markets as people came out to purchase essential food items. A ban on the internet and non-availability of cash in ATMs caused problems as financial transactions were disrupted, residents said. Linthoi, a woman selling vegetables in the Khwairamband Keithel, the main market, said the shortage of cash, especially below Rs 500, caused problems in transactions. There is always a shortage of cash of lower denominations like Rs 10, 20, 50 and 100, she said, even during normal times, so online transactions are preferred. The Arambai Tenggol (AT) had called a 10-day bandh to protest the arrest of one of its leaders, which was called off on Tuesday. The AT, a socio-cultural organisation, decided to call off the bandh as it was turning violent. Ramesh Mishra, who owns a shop in the market, said the normal flow of vehicles has been affected due to landslides; sending the prices of essential commodities skyrocketing. Oil depots which were closed down for three days started opening on Wednesday. Educational institutes in the state are yet to reopen. UNI NS ARN PRS

Quiet thriving: The new trend at work
However, when corporate wellness initiatives are implemented in toxic environments or tied too closely to performance metrics, they can backfire. Stripping away autonomy and reducing well-being to a KPI undermines the very motivation it aims to foster. Belonging and connection Thriving quietly also depends on the larger culture. Organisations must create environments that allow people the freedom to find their own rhythm. Psychological safety plays a key role, says Roshni Rao. 'When people approach their work with curiosity and connection, fulfilment follows. But for that to happen, organisations must meet employees with empathy and not silence,' she underscores. Younger generations are leading the way in this shift. Gen Z and millennials tend to be more vocal and open about their needs, which is helping foster stronger, more honest workplace relationships. But individual efforts alone aren't enough. Roshni puts it well: 'Quiet thriving is individual, but not isolated. We all need each other to recover from burnout and disconnection. Putting in the time, effort, and care to truly see one another as humans — that's what's urgent now.' As the nature of work continues to evolve, it may not be sweeping reforms that bring lasting change, but the small, consistent acts of care that reshape the culture we show up to every day.
