PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
1. Coarsely chop rosemary. Set aside.
2. Add all kofta ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix until you reach an even consistency. Shape the lamb mix into long, finger-like shapes, roughly 3-inches long. Arrange on a plate and chill until you are ready to cook them, for up to one day.
3. Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, place the kofta in the pan to cook. Turn every 3 minutes and cook until brown and crispy on the outside. If you like your lamb well done, also preheat the oven to 425 degrees. After pan frying, place on a baking tray and put in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, to desired temperature.
4. To make the sauce, add 1/2 cup of water to the kofta pan. Bring to a simmer and stir slowly for 5 minutes until the juices in the pan mix with the water. Pour water into a medium mixing bowl. Add the tahini, salt, pepper and paprika. Wisk until smooth.
5. Arrange kofta on a plate and top with tahini sauce. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with rice or over pita bread.

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
