Nutrition Tips

  • Vatas:

    Enhance flavor with sea salt, freshly chopped cilantro, and a splash of lemon juice. Lentils serve as an excellent alternative to chickpeas.

  • Pittas:

    Reduce ginger and garlic, decrease onion quantity, and substitute spinach with kale for a cooling effect.

  • Kaphas:

    Moderate salt usage and substitute coconut oil with olive oil for a lighter option.

Seasonal and Sensational Flavors
