Mushroom and Mashed Potato
ayurveda notes
A heavy and sleepy recipe for aggravated Autumn Vata.
Potato & Cauliflower with Tomato & Cumin
Vijay Bhatt was my first introduction to Indian culture. We were both computer programmers at Fidelity Investments in Boston, MA but he was my boss and mentor. We used to take lunch together in Post Office square or at the Indian restaurant at the food court in Downtown Crossing. One day we ate aloo gobi (the Indian name for this dish) and he began to tell me about the vedas.
ayurveda notes
Pitta provoking. Clears and dries kapha.
Ghee
Like baking bread making ghee is an art, a meditation and a labor of love. Buy organic, unsalted butter only. Ghee is highly concentrated and thus also concentrates toxins if made from impure ingredients.
ayurveda notes
One of the most important medicines in Ayurveda. See notes for ghee in the ingredients section.
Date Smoothie with Almond Milk & Ghee
Experiment with dates and morning shakes. Pungency of ginger blends into the sweet, nourishing delicately aromatic sweetness of dates. Discovered in Maharastra, India while studying ancient Sanskrit Texts on a balcony waiting for the sun to rise.
ayurveda notes
The pungency of ginger makes this drink less kapha provoking (depending upon amount), Cardamom also helps in avoiding early morning mucous buildup and congestion. Dates build ojas.
