1. Chop the potatoes and boil in a deep frying pan with a pinch of salt. Use just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes. Remove from heat and strain when soft but not mushy. Place in a bowl and set aside. Discard extra water.
2. Cut onion in long thin wedges.
3. Use the same pan to sautee mustard seeds in sunflower oil until they begin to pop. Add remaining spices, let cook for a few seconds, and onion for an additional thirty seconds or until onions are translucent. Add cooked sweet potatoes and fry gently without mushing them. Sprinkle with a dash of salt when done.
Caution: Popping mustard seeds can be tricky. Make sure the pot is covered. To add spices, remove from heat, wait until seeds stop popping, and spices and mix with oil. Return to heat until spices being to fry. Adding the onion keeps the pan temperature low enough to avoid burning spices.

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.
