Ayurvedic Cooking for Balance: Preparing a Tri-Dosha Meal

 

Ayurveda envisages a concept of harmonious play of three factors for better health; viz, proper diet, medicine and lifestyle. Healthy food always nurtures the mind and body. Health promoting cuisine thus becomes an integral part of Ayurvedic treatment as well as regular life. The food is prepared based on the taste influence on the three doshas – Vatha, Pitha and Kapha .

What Is Tri-Dosha and Why Is It Important?

According to Ayurveda, our body has three bio energies namely Vatha, Pitha and Kapha which control our psych as well as physiology. The doshas thus influence an individual’s constitution as well their imbalance results in illness. A balanced meal, rooted in Ayurvedic cuisine,  with the correct nutrient mix hence  becomes inevitable for promoting health and energy.

Tri-Dosha Meal: A Recipe for Balance

To prepare a Tri-Dosha meal, use fresh, seasonal  and carminative ingredients:

  • Vegetables: Choose a mix of carrots, zucchini and sweet potatoes.
  • Spices: Turmeric, cumin, ginger and fennel aid digestion and balance the Doshas.
  • Grains: Basmati rice or quinoa as a base are light and support digestion.
  • Ghee: The fast penetrating and special ability of ghee as a catalytic agent to enhance the absorption of nutrients from the food makes the dish rich and healthy. The ghee ensures the palatability as well. 

The result is a warm and nourishing meal that enriches your body while strengthening your inner self.
