1. Use vegetable stock instead of water for best results. Bring water and salt to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Meanwhile, slice garlic. Heat olive oil in skillet, then add garlic. Sautee garlic for thirty seconds. Remove from heat before garlic starts to brown.
Slowly add corn meal to boiling water, constantly stirring. Remove from heat when corn meal starts to come away from the side of the pan. Mash in the garlic oil, soaking up any extra oil with the cornmeal. Add parsley and pepper. Pour cornmeal into a greased pan and spread out evenly. Let cool and set.
3. Cut the cornmeal into wedges and separate. Chop tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper, and drizzle on top of the corn meal as a garnish. Broil for 4-5 minutes until the edge starts to crisp.

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.
