Shatavari powder, an Ayurvedic herb, is a go-to for women’s health in India, supporting hormonal balance, fertility, and vitality.
Traditionally added to milk or laddus for postpartum recovery or menstrual support, it’s ideal for Indian women balancing family and work. Its mild flavor makes it easy to incorporate daily.
In drinks, stir ½ tsp shatavari powder into warm milk with honey and saffron for a soothing evening tonic, or blend into mango lassi with yogurt and cardamom for a refreshing treat. Add to tulsi tea or nimbu pani for a gentle wellness boost.
For meals, mix ½–1 tsp into creamy palak paneer or coconut-based vegetable curries for nourishment. Stir into rice dishes like biryani or khichdi for a subtle flavor, or knead into paratha dough with methi.
For snacks, incorporate shatavari into laddus with jaggery and nuts or mix into raita with roasted cumin for a cooling side.
Shatavari pairs beautifully with Indian staples like ghee and saffron. Note: Start with small doses and store in an airtight container!
