I fell in love with Indian food once I started practicing Ayurveda.

And this is one of my all-time favorite recipes!

Plus, the way I prepare it, make it tridoshic or good for all doshas.

Vegan Curry Recipe

I was raised with simple seasonings.

My mom used to basically use only salt and black pepper with some garlic and onion, so the experience of tasting all the different and new exotic flavors from Indian cuisine was first interesting, and then addictive.

Curries are one of my favorite meals because they cook gently all of the ingredients, they are easily digestible and also provide a great opportunity to use spices as medicine in your food.

Cook this simple vegan curry recipe — aloo gobi — and immerse yourself in a mouthwatering experience that only takes about 25 minutes of your day.

Potatoes and Vata Dosha

Vegan Curry Recipe

Although this vegan curry recipe is tridoshic, meaning it is good for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha; Vata should still take it with moderation, because of the qualities of the potatoes.

Potatoes can cause gas and are very difficult to digest by Vata if the proper spices aren’t used or if they are not properly cooked.

They are astringent and sweet.

Dry, cold, and heavy.

These qualities are similar to Vata inherent characteristics, and since Like increases Like, it is best to eat this recipe occasionally, use plenty of spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin, mustard seeds, hing and black pepper, and cooked them until tender.

If you are suffering from extreme constipation or arthritis, do not cook this one, but check more recipes in my page, like my Avocado Fried Rice.
