Experiment with steamed doughs in sweet yogurt. Soft, steamed Idly with cumin served in a sweet, pungent yogurt sauce. Discovered at Krishna Lodge in Pune, India.
Ayurveda Notes (help)
Fermented foods generally provoke pitta, depending on the degree of sourness. Daal provokes vata. Yogurt provokes Kapha and thus this dish aggravates all three doshas. Many restaurants in India use a pre-made mix that is very mild. We recommend mung daal which is easier to digest.
