Grind saffron with a mortar and pestle. Soak in one tablespoon of the milk for ten minutes. Pour all ingredients except almonds into a single pot. Bring to a boil stirring constantly to prevent the rice and milk sticking to the bottom of the pot. Lower heat till a simmer. Continue stirring occasionally until rice softens and thickens. Keep covered. Garnish with roasted almonds just before serving. Enjoy!

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.
