Yogurt Cheese with Pistachios, Sugar & Saffron (shrikhand)
Yogurt Cheese with Pistachios, Sugar & Saffron (shrikhand)
The delicate aromatics of saffron make this dessert, called Shrikhand in South Asia, food for the gods. Dr. Vasant Lad taught us about shrikhand when we visited him in Maharastra, India.
ayurveda notes
Shrikhand is a delectable indulgence and, like ice cream, is kapha provoking and artery clogging. Yet, shrikhand has several important edges over ice cream:

First, yogurt is fermented and more easily digestible than heavy cream. Second, ice cream usually contains dairy mixed with eggs, a bad food combination. Third, shrikhand contains spices like saffron, cardamom and nutmeg that break up the mucous forming tendencies of dairy. Nevertheless, kapha beware! Not every dish in an Indian restaurant is Ayurvedic.

Holiday Spice Blend - Churna
Holiday Spice Blend - Churna
Spice up your life with an Ayurvedic spice blend. Spices not only add flavor and balance to your meal, but act as digestive aids as well. Spices have many medicinal properties, as illustrated by the saying, "Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food"
ayurveda notes
Churnas and chutneys are blends of spices, herbs and/or fruits that include all six Ayurvedic tastes: sweet, pungent, salty, astringent, sour & bitter. Incorporating all six tastes balances the body and satisfies the palette. Each taste has its own physiological and emotional effect.When all six tastes aren't present, we tend to feel unsatisfied after a meal. Quite literally, there is something missing. This often leads to overeating, instinctively knowing a part of us is still unsatisfied.

Rice Pudding
Rice Pudding
Rice pudding is sweet, delicious, simple to make and pleases everyone. Indian rice pudding includes exotic spices like saffron and cardamom.
ayurveda notes
Saffron and cardamom make milk easier to digest. Caution for Kapha! Cutting sugar and ghee in half will somewhat minimize the heavy, gooey and oily quality. Otherwise, use the recipe for gold milk, adding honey after cooking and cooling the recipe.
