1) In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut milk, and lime juice until the consistency is smooth. On a cutting board, stem and finely chop the basil. Puree the coconut base, basil, and salt in a food processor to desired consistency. Taste it, and adjust salt to your preference. Set the pesto aside to marinate the flavors.
2) Saute the Chickpeas: Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a large frying pan. Strain then toss in canned or home-cooked chickpeas. Saute until they are lightly browned, and slightly crispy.
Turn off the heat, and pour the sauce into the pan and toss with the chickpeas. Serve with a lemon wedge and a little garnish of basil on top.

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.
