How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?

CONSTITUTIONAL & METABOLIC INSIGHTS

Coconut mint chutney is a perfect example of how Ayurveda principles can be used to balance forbidden ingredients. Ayurveda creates balance through relationship. Ingredients can be paired against one another to offset their effects. That special, yet easy to acquire skill opens up a world of possibilities.

Here's how it works: Use the gunas. Mint is forbidden for Vata because it is drying and dispersing. Mustard seed is forbidden to Pitta because it is heating. Coconut is forbidden to Kapha because it is heavy. Mixed together, coconut mint chutney is a yummy 'tri-doshic' treat, healthy for all three doshas. Mint makes coconut light for Kapha. Mustard seed makes coconut warm for Vata and Kapha. And coconut anchors the uplifting qualities of mint and mustard seed for Pitta and Vata.

Ayurvedic specialists disagree on whether or not mint is heating. It depends on the variety. Either way, mint clears the stomach and useful for nausea due to heaviness.

WHAT IS COCONUT MINT CHUTNEY?

Coconut mint chutney is an Indian classic and one of our favorites. Used as ubiquitously as our beloved ketchup, coconut mint chutney is a refreshing garnish on dosas (fried savory pancakes), curries, potato, chick peas and just about any dish.

What Makes a Chutney a Chutney?

Chutneys are condiments. Chutney-like American condiments include relish, tartar sauce, barbecue sauce, and ketchup. Chutneys typically combine four or more of the six tastes, especially sweet, sour, salty, and pungent. Where Americans shy away from bitters, Indian chutneys are more likely to include them.

Metabolic Effects of Coconut Mint Chutney

Classical Metabolic Theory uses biocharacteristics to classify the metabolic nature of food, herbs, lifestyle choices, your body, and disease.

METABOLIC NATURE / BIOCHARACTERISTICS

Metabolic Nature / Biocharacteristics

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (vital qualtiies). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

AYURVEDA BODY TYPES (DOSHAS)

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

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.

“Sometimes with fresh basil or cilantro or even parsley, depending on season and availability, the recipe can be adjusted for taste with more or less salt or lime, and is fabulous with an avocado instead of coconut. Sometimes I'll toast 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp oregano and pinch of hing in a tsp of oil and mix them in with the avocado and the central green for variations on my "Emerald Relish". Parsley makes the best emerald color and is a yummy kidney warmer and staple for our winter holidays without coconut or avocado. Basil is also warming, but so available in summertime I just leave out the mustard seed; with avocado and thinned with extra olive oil, it is regularly requested at family holidays on pasta if we can find enough basil. Cilantro helps with chelation as well as Pitta cooling like the mint. These get called a relish with corn on the cob or veggie burgers, chutney with Indian food, and salsa on tortillas. Delish on sandwiches, for sure! OH do I love these recipes! And then we can play with mint and beet or carrot, maybe add limonene rich, cancer reversing organic essential oil of orange zest, and.... the play just keeps playing. Joyful tastes for your joyful belly and overall vitality!"

“mine doesn't look like your pic and so I added coconut manna and later some coconut milk- turned out more a dressing.. I think I may try this on baked chicken. overall the recipe as is for me, as a chutney, is not a joyful tasting, in texture especially, experience."

“The attempt i made was too watery. I tried adding coconut milk and flakes to make it thicker, but it was still watery, so it makes for a nice dressing on potatoes."
