Corn is drying and difficult to digest for Vata dosha. But corn helps dry out Kapha! Celery is light for digestion and helps stoke the digestive fire; it too is a diuretic. Curry, chipotle, black pepper all stimulate the gastric fires of digestive. All in all a Kapha pacifying recipe!

Fennel is a digestive and refreshes the palate between courses. Orange zest boosts metabolism for kapha and clears stomach stagnation.
Apricot & Dill Mustard Dressing
Curried apricots are popular in South African 'Braais' or barbecue. Here turkish apricots sweeten and give a smokey flavor to pungent mustard and dill. Turmeric in the mustard provides slight bitterness that makes this condiment versatile enough to be a south asian chutney. Discovered by Chef Jerry Traunfeld of The Herb Farm (http://www.theherbfarm.com), in Woodinville, WA.
ayurveda notes
Apricots are sweet and sour, tempering the pungency of the other ingredients. Sourness helps keep the digestive tract moistened. This recipe was chosen as a tasty option for salad dressing. Curry and dill are optional - replace with your favorite spices for infinite variety.
