<= Previous | Get Recipe | Next =>

Ayurveda Notes (help)
Potatoes can provoke vata but are much less aggravating for Kapha than other starches because of astringent quality. Red pepper flakes aggravate pitta but pacify kapha. Substitute black pepper to make this dish more tridoshic.

Dosha: Vata= Pitta= Kapha= (Pitta+ if excess red pepper flakes)
Quality: Heavy, Liquid, Sharp
Taste: Sweet, Astringent, Pungent
