### The LOTUS RECOMMENDS project on HIVE aims to support engagement within our community and the greater HIVE ecosystems through curation. They are brought to you by a beautiful group of moderators and curators in the community who take the time to find and comment and upvote your posts, so please do reward this post with an upvote or put it on your autovoter! All our curators earn a 'finders fee' post beneficiary, and work hard to engage with people in the community to help them feel nourished, grow their account, and acknowledge their hard work.

Whilst we do a number of curations, this one aims to reward the people who find your work and engage with it. Curators vow to engage with the community often, daily if possible. When they drop a post that's worth supporting in our Discord with a short summary, **they earn a small post beneficiary on these posts.** **It also aims to reward one of the six selected posts with a HIVE bonus.** If you'd like to be one of our special engagement curators, please get in touch. A few roles also exist to compile these posts in @lotusshares. We just ask you to be frequently engaging in the community. Monthly LOTUS stipends also exist for good engagement curators! It's thanks to the sponsorship of @holisticmom, @whatamidoing and @riverflows that makes this possible. If you would like to donate to this engagement project, please get in touch - it would be very much appreciated.

### This week's Lotus Recommends curation post is compiled by @holisticmom. There were many good posts to choose from this week. The ones selected were the most voted on by the lotus recommends community team.

### The nomination of the week goes to @shielashra who wins 3 HIVE for their work, and was curated by @justinparke Sambar is a classic south Indian sour soup, a bit like dal, but a bit more soupy with less lentils and a medley of vegetables. This particular sambar caught Justin's attention because she put green banana in it, not something you often see in sambar. >Her cooking technique and spice blend are spot on, and I would be glad to find this sambar on my table. ### [Sambar for a healthy tummy!](https://peakd.com/hive-120586/@shielashraf/sambar-for-a-healthy-tummy)
