Dosha Adaptation Guide
VATA – Perfect for Vata, offering warmth and nourishment to balance dryness and coldness. Use whole milk and add a pinch of ginger for extra grounding.
PITTA – For Pitta, use rice milk, reduce the cardamom, and add rose water or apricots to cool down the heat.
KAPHA – Kapha may find it heavy, so opt for rice milk, reduce ghee, and add a pinch of ginger or black pepper to stimulate digestion and lightness.
