At nearly 90, Mohana Gill is far from resting on her laurels but is, instead, forging ahead with more creative and culinary projects. Her latest cookbook, Moringalicious<\/em>, aims to unlock the powerful benefits of the Moringa tree aka Tree of Life through wholesome recipes pulled from cuisines around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohana knows this all too well, having grown up on a staple diet that often included all parts of the moringa tree. Her late mother, famed for her cooking prowess among other things, whipped up many scrumptious dishes featuring the fresh leaves, drumsticks (pods), and even flowers of the miraculous tree. As the amazing aromas wafted from their humble home kitchen, a young Mohana was held enthralled by the \u2018magic\u2019 her mother so effortlessly conjured up. From then, and unknown to Mohana, the early seeds were already planted in her mind that someday, she would do great things with the moringa tree and more importantly, tell the world about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I researched the moringa tree, I realised to my delight that I was not alone in this endeavour. Along the way, I came across many wonderful people, organizations, initiatives, and projects that were driven by the same passion \u2026 each of us are doing something different to spread the goodness of moringa,\u201d Mohana shared. Naturally, Mohana chose to focus on the food aspect\u2014after all, she has built up an impressive portfolio of cookbooks and other publications revolving around cooking that have won awards locally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI conceptualized Moringalicious as Malaysia\u2019s Gift to the World,\u201d she continued. And just as she thought it could well be her last book, Mohana then decided that the story of moringa needed to be told to children too. She is currently writing Hayley\u2019s Moringalicious Malaysia, adding another title to her acclaimed children\u2019s series that was named after her granddaughter. \u201cI want to teach our children, all children around the world, about the Miracle Tree … how to grow it, the many benefits, how to eat the different parts of the tree\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not all; Mohana has an even bigger plan in mind. \u201cI hope that the Malaysian government and relevant authorities will look into spreading the awareness and goodness of moringa by planting it everywhere \u2014 school compounds, public parks, children\u2019s playgrounds… The moringa tree is easy to grow and does not cost much, and provides a great source of food and nutrients.\u201d Mohana\u2019s vision is this: \u201cIf we train one generation to appreciate the goodness of moringa, they will train their children, and their children will train their children … that way, we will have many generations of healthy, happy children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

A quote Mohana loves and believes in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On the philosophy of life she follows, she shares, \u201cI am very content with my life. I don\u2019t need to compare myself with anyone. How I look, how I talk, how I write \u2026 I am happy with that. I am grateful for what I have been able to do. At my age I am grateful I can walk, talk, enjoy life and do the things that make me happy. Grateful for all the little angels that God has sent me throughout my life to show me the way and clear the path for me. Most importantly, I am happy that I am able to leave a legacy for the future generations by showing them how to lead a healthy and happy life.<\/p>\n\n\n

Her advice to people as they are growing old, to keep motivated healthy and happy consists of just three things \u2013 Contentment, Gratitude and Happiness. She says, \u201cTo keep motivated you must believe in yourself \u2026 that you can still contribute in different ways. Do what you can to make yourself and others happy in small ways like reading a book, going for a walk, chatting with friends, etc. To keep healthy, eat more fruit and vegetables \u2026 try and eat what we produce ourselves in this country – local and in season. To be happy I think you must be thankful and grateful for what you can do and not regret about what you cannot do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
