1. Toast sesame seeds in an oven on 400 for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown.
2. Similarly, brown the flour in a baking pan, stirring every five minutes to ensure the flour browns evenly.
3. Blanch almonds for thirty seconds and pinch at the butt end to remove skins. Dry completely.
4. Fry the almonds over medium heat in a 1/2inch of oil until golden brown. Take care to simmer the almond long enough to cook the inside, but not to burn the almonds in the process.
5. Grind the spices into a powder. Mix with flour and salt, then sift. Grind the almonds and sesame seeds, then add to the mixture. Continue to work in ghee.
6. Mix in the remaining ingredients and roll into small balls. Enjoy!

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
