Fry the onions. Add the garlic. Mix the spices into a paste with water and add to the onions and garlic. Continuing frying for several seconds. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to double the height of the vegetables. Keep in mind that as the vegetables cook the water will evaporate. Bring to a boil then reduce heat till a simmer and cover. Cook until potatoes and cauliflower are soft, about thirty minutes or all afternoon for a deeper flavor! As the vegetables absorb salt you might need to add more for flavor. Garnish with cilantro at the end.

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.
