Dosha Adaptation Guide

VATA ­– Add extra ghee for nourishment and moisture. Include a pinch of saffron for a grounding, nervous system tonic. Serve warm with a cup of spiced herbal tea.

PITTA – Reduce cinnamon and nutmeg, and add extra cardamom for cooling effects. A splash of rose water enhances the soothing properties. Opt for coconut oil instead of ghee.

KAPHA – Use less ghee and tahini, and substitute part of the flour with almond/flax meal for a lighter texture. Add extra ginger and black pepper to boost digestion and warmth.
