Soak chick peas overnight. Drain and bring to a boil. Scrape off the soap film that rises to the top. Add 1/2 of the onions and 1/2 of the salt.
In another pot, chop and bring collard greens to a boil. Make a thick spice paste of all spices and a tsp of water. Chop the remaining onions and garlic finely. In a frying pan saute mustard seeds and cumin in oil until they begin to pop. Add the spice paste and spread. Add the onions. After one minute add the garlic. After thirty seconds add to collard greens. Add the tomatoes. Deglaze pan with a bit of water to scoop up remaining adhered flavors and add to collard greens.
Once chickpeas have cooked for an hour, drain the broth and add chickpeas to collard greens with remaining salt. Cook slow until chickpeas are tender.

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.
