Boil the tamarind in some water to loosen it if dried. Mix all ingredients together in quantities according to taste. Put enough oil to make it creamy, enough sugar to take away the sour. Put enough salt to bring out the flavor.
Cook on low heat for 6+hours. When done cover the top with oil to make a seal. Place on the windowsill for two weeks cooking in the sun. This achar tastes great with chicken, eggplant, or rice.

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.
