Smoked tomatoes can be hard to find - if that's the case then roast your own tomato by putting it directly over the flame of a gas stove until soft. The skin will turn black. That's okay.
When the tomato is ready peel off the black skin and chop. Boil 1.5 c water. Add the rice, tomato, salt, and cumin and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer. After twenty minutes or when rice is soft, remove from stove and garnish with the olive oil.

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.
