Prep:
Finely chop onion. Set aside 1/4c of onion to be used as a garnish. Rinse this 1/4c of onion under water to remove some of the sharpness. Mince garlic. Squeeze juice out of 1 lemon into a small dish. Use 6oz tomato paste or chop 2 tomatoes and boil until sauce is thick and reduced. Chop parsley.
1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add 1/2c onion. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for 10 seconds. Add beans and salt. If using canned beans, add bean liquor and cook for thirty minutes. If using dried beans, add 4c water, bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer and cook uncovered for three hours or until beans are tender. The beans are done when they lack any hint of chaulkiness in the center. Remove beans and reduce bean liquor to 1c. Add beans back to pot.
2. Stir in cumin, lemon juice, tahini and tomato and continue cooking another 5 minutes.
3. Blend in food processor to desired consistency. Garnish with raw onion, chopped parsley, and remaining olive oil (1tbsp).

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.
