Cardamom Pancakes
Experiment with sweet spices in pancakes, including cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon. Discovered by chef Yashoda Naidoo at Annapurna, an ayurvedic restaurant in Albuquerque, NM.ayurveda notes
Pancakes with spelt flour and spices are much easier to digest and less sticky in the GI tract. Cardamom effectively destroys mucus in the stomach and breaks up the stickiness of wheat. Vata's with gas or weak digestion should be careful to sip warm water whenever eating pancakes or bread like foods which absorb too much fluids from the GI tract.

A vata tonic for dryness. Oleates internal organs and the digestive tract. The pinch of ginger aids digestion. Modified from Ashtanga Hrdayam.
