Experiment with dill and yogurt fried rice. Discovered in “Silk Road Cooking: A Vegetarian Journey” by Najmieh Batmanglij. Found while visiting my Long Island cook book collection over the holidays. Reported by Joseph.
Ayurveda Notes (help)
Dill is cooling for pitta. Unlike store bought yogurt, fresh, homemade yogurt does not provoke pitta. Add black pepper for Kapha, Vata. Or use less yogurt and ghee in kapha. And to pacify vata, cook without or limit fava beans.
Dosha – Vata+, Pitta-, Kapha+
